I can’t deny it. It happened. I can offer no real excuses. I forgot about it.

It actually went great tho. She just moved here from Seattle. Her husband’s a lawyer. Twin boys in elementary school. I think she’s bammer’s wife.

Sweet. Congrats man

We’ve had a few big projects this year, hell this fall, and I and some colleagues have hit the goals every time. I’m actually opening a new center in January as well. I’ve got two employees that only make $1-2 less than I do and my boss knows that shit ain’t gonna fly much longer. All that to say I’d better be getting a damn good raise this year.
