Valentine's day

I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.
~ Sigmund Freud

'Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.'

'I've had bad luck with both my wives. The first one left me, and the second one didn't.'
~ James Holt McGavra

My wife and I were happy for twenty years.
Then we met.
~ Henny Youngman

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.
~ Rodney Dangerfield

My wife and I always compromise; I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.

Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage.
They've experienced pain and brought jewelry.

Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand.

After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you." And the husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice it."

Good morning Lemmings

I have astronomically new experiences everyday.
I've always considered myself a good sales man. I can sell Cd's as well as the next guy.
You talk to people for hours and they grudgingly part with $10 for a Cd.

I'm hiring in my store and a guy from the Kiosk in the mall walkway tells me I should hire the kid from the icecream store next door.
"He's an awesome saleman"
Me: "Why?"
"He sold the biggest size icecream when I didn't even want it."
Me: "Oh ya, how did he do that?"
"He asked me "Want the biggest size."

Finding out what people want is 5/6ths of marketing and is what most tools are missing.
People want whatever they're told they need to want.
It's not for nothing we put our hand on our chest and proclaim "We, the sheeple".

It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere

I got a sweater for Christmas.
What I really wanted was a screamer or a moaner.

To everyone I used to say Hi to: I haven't died.
Last Nov. we moved to Canada (and had to set our watches back about 20 years).
Alot has happened since then, but my short-term memory is not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my short-term memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

I got a job working at a store in a mall in mid Dec. and by the first week of Jan. they made me manager. I found out "power corrupts and absolute power - is kinda neat. or something like that.

Being a manager of a large retail store is alot like being a home manager. You're the scheduler, finance guy, tool order guy, home mom,and home shepherd. Going witnessing you always ask for the all-powerful mysterious manager; but I've found I've been qualified for the job for years, which makes me wonder if the Holy Ghost Boogie IS really what it's all about.

The pay is never as good as it seems though, I guess taxation WITH representation isn't fun either.

Maria and my relationship has really changed. I haven't spoken to her for 6 weeks now.
I didn't want to interrupt her.
She found an addicting computer game that she thinks talks and plays. Zoo's are fun, they prove red meat isn't bad for you. Now green fuzzy meat...

Christmas with Art and Priya was awesome and Canadian beer is UNBEATABLE!!!!

I'll try to get on and say hi more often. Or just blog about wow and books.
