Wow, what a busy day yesterday and today. We’re busy doing returns about the whole story, because of Christmas. Whatever didn’t sell, we’re trying to sell back to the company that we ordered it from (which is kinda neat, thought they would just make us store it till next year, lol). Anyways, since I’m now in the music department, I was busy doing a bunch of Christmas returns. We filled up a WHOLE WHOLE big cart, and it was probably atleast 3000 cds that we’re returning to 8 different companies. The biggest return was Avalon’s Christmas album, “Joy”. We’re returning 441 of those CDs. And I had to peel off every single Berean UPC sticker from them. Luckily, by that time, Sandy (one of the Office Associates) gave me a “Scraper” which has a edge that you can peel things off, or scrap them off. Too bad I didn’t have that earlier when I was doing all the rest of the Christmas CDs and my nail started peeling up, EWWW.

A few new worshp CDs are in the store now, but aren’t that great.

I’m wanting to do a few more songs in the next couple of days, probably will be doing “Here I Am to Worship”, as well as “Pour Out My Heart” and ” We Are Hungry”.

I need a program that will find out BPM, or Beats per Minute, so if you know of one, let me know, ASAP! Thanks!

Man!


I forgot my devotional back in San Francisco!! argh! It’s really good, and it’s called, “A Godward Life” by John Piper. John Piper is a pastor of a church in Minniapolis, MN, and he speaks for seminars and such (as well as at OneDay 2000, where I got to hear him speak on Boasting Only in the Cross). Anyways, he has a lot of really interesting views on living our Christian lives, and some real paradigm shifts. One of which is this:

God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him.

I can’t go into much detail into that, but just thinking about that idea gives me goosebumps! It’s really true that God is glorified in us, when we satisfied living out His purpose for us here on earth. If we’re doing what He’s telling us, He’s the one getting all the glory for it! and it’s great! =)

I almost bought an Avalon u5 over the weekend. Saw one on ebay for about 375$, and I kept bidding with a person till I reached 400$, and I quit. The person got the Avalon u5 for 405$, ahhh well. Maybe next time. =)

The CD project is going well. I have to try and keep on schedule though, which only leaves this last week to do all the guitar recording *sigh* Don’t know how that’s all gonna get done….but I can atleast try. If I’m not talking to you people all that much this week, that’s the reason why.

I’m enjoying my Chet Atkins. I don’t use my Taylor as much as I’d like to anymore, but it’s still a really nice guitar. Think I’ll spend some nice time with it, as we bond and make some beautiful music together for this recording. =)

I’m also starting to work in the Music Dept over at Berean. I was recently moved (well today will be my first day officiall in the music dept). This happened because one of the other people there is retiring. She’s worked there for 27 years or something like that, and that she’s just old now and can’t stand up on her feet all day. So I’m being moved over there from books. I was getting to know the book department really well too. Oh well, I think I like music a lot more anyways. =)

Thinking about buying one of these Franklin Electronic Ebookman from work. We get it at a discount, so it would come out to about 150$ for the 16MB one. Info is at www.franklin.com/ebookman/ Unfortunately, it doesn’t support Palm OS software, so I wouldn’t be able to get all the cool games and such…but it does have the basic PDA features (datebook, address book, to do notes), as well as some new features, like a voice recorder, or the ability to play mp3s on it (though it only has 16MBs of ram! what’s with that! haha). Anyways, I’ll look into that…wish there was a web site that had PDA reviews or something.

Work Work Work, oh, and a Birthday thrown in

Worked for my 3rd day today. (Third Day? hehe, they’re new album comes out in November, mark your calendars!) The first day I was put in cashering, 2nd was customer service, and today I did all recieving (where they get all the packages, and products, and sticker them and put them out). Not really sure which one I like best….probably customer service, or cashering. Each one of the days I got to see less and less customers, which I guess wasn’t that great, hah. But work so far seems pretty cool. I enjoy it a lot and the people who work there are great! Fun people, and we joke around with each other a lot, but don’t put one another down, just have fun with each other. =) Good enviroment definately!


Hrm, so for my birthday today, we’re gonna go out to Red Robins a little later. Not sure how later that is. Supposedly my sweetheart, Lisa, is coming down, but I’m not sure if she really is, cuz they only have one car!! Well, I will really enjoy it if she does, hehe, even though she did just come out with my family to a birthday dinner for me. Oh, I forgot to talk about that too. But anyways, the list for tonight is Lisa, Derek, Anh, Erica, and Ali. Maybe some other people I’m unaware of as well. =P The more the merrier right?

So anyways, I went out with my family for my birthday dinner on Sunday Night, We had GRUBBBBBBBBBB!!!! Went to the House of Prime Rib (My all time favorite restuarant). Lisa was really scared to go, and have dinner with my parents and my brother. It was quite funny, and entertaining as I tired to calm her down. After the night she said it wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. She also got to meet my brother, Eric, and she said he looked nothing like me, which I guess is a good thing, cuz I’m much better looking than my brother. =P haha. So anyways, I ordered the regular HoPR Cut, and man, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooood!! I had seconds too as they came around, and I could have really gone for thirds as well. Got a picture at the end with my family and Lisa at HoPR, and it’s so cute. hah. I should frame it and keep it on my desk, ahhhh. Anyways, that was the interesting part of the weekend.
