01-13-23 A lot of work and a hockey game
So today was a mishmash of free and paid work that ate my brain but got a lot more off the list. I had an extremely positive response to my vimf email and started pulling things together to design the media for the Cox & McRae show. In between there was payroll, remittances, EHT, PST and other filings to take care of. I was glad when my google nest alarm went off letting me know it was time to leave for the hockey game.
I picked up Tracey and off we went. The Wenatchee Wild were up from the states and I must say that the woman singing both anthems nailed it!!! She made me want to sing along to the Star Spangled Banner! The game was super tight and mostly boring but finally it was the third period and we were up by one. The Arby’s minute happened which means that if the Bucks score in that minute all attendees are entitled to free curly fries. The problem is that the supplier ran out of curly fries so that would be complicated. ‘Fortunately’, they didn’t score, much to Rae-Anne’s relief. We earned a shut-out when in the last 1.8 seconds we scored, short handed with the goalie pulled. An exciting end at least.
I wrote a message to the Arby’s crew in our app encouraging them to be their best in order to make the sale go smoothly and perhaps keep their jobs. The bottom line is that any customer could be a future boss. It is hard in times of transition and I hope everyone comes out of it well. The listing for the business was posted and that makes it looming, for sure.
I contacted my friend Gordon and made a plan to visit him tomorrow afternoon before I volunteer for Cabaret at Key City. With no alarm set tomorrow, I look forward to all three wonderful things. I may even take down my Christmas inflatable family…
