Realistically, I don't know how I ever had time to work for someone else - other than the Princess of course.

Good morning everyone!

DMC, I agree with not going back to work. You can do a lot more work once you quit your job but it will be things you want to do (mostly)!

Berts, good to see you again.

Sour, I understand completely about going back to work to get some rest. I officially "retired early" 6 years ago and haven't quit working hard yet.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. We had our first jerk customer yesterday. Guy came in with his teenage boy and young daughter. Wanted a cart and 9 holes of golf so my co-worker rang him up (only charged for the two guys, letting the little girl go along for free) and got a face full of attitude. I stepped in to see if there was anything I could do to appease him and got surliness as well as a threat to "tell Uncle Jim" on us. Guess he's related to a guy named Jim on our advisory board. I didn't tell him I'm on the board too and will be seeing Uncle Jim this afternoon. Probably thought he was going to play for free or something. Thankfully, all the other players that have come in so far have been very nice and glad to be here.

The good part of yesterday was making friends with 2 older gents. What a pair of nice funny guys...they reminded me of my dad. They bought memberships and will be coming in a lot so looking forward to hearing lots of good stories from those 2.

Hi Debby! Guess that you are right, a rotten apple was bound to pop up sooner or later. Maybe he was talking about Jim Beam? At least that prat was offset by the two older chaps. I could not do customer relations - don't have the patience for idiots, so good for you. I'll send you some valium in the post.

Jerks abound, Debby - sorry you ran into one.

Kids left for Denver this morning. I really don't have a good feeling about this trip and surgery - can't define it but can't shake it either. Surgery is tomorrow in the early afternoon. I'm glad that Kenny's boss was able to free him up so he could be in his rightful place, with Jenny and Kendra, but kinda wish I was there too instead of so many miles away and getting news by phone. But I've got Katie for the week, so I guess I have my job to do in this, too. Prayers for them would sure be appreciated.
