Building Steam with a Grain of Salt

This is a little bit of an update post since it's been a while.I probably should have made a post before Thanksgiving about my dad participating in Detroit's Thanksgiving Parade.  He drove a Model T of course.

Well at least he smiled on television.

On the way to the parade we drove past Tiger Stadium.  I always get rather emotional inside when ever I see what's left of the stadium.  On the way home I asked my mom to pull over so I could get a couple images, because I've been wanting to pay another visit for a while but never had much of a chance to.

On the way home

It makes me really sad.  I know it sounds

silly but she definitely holds a piece of my heart.

A few weeks ago, my cousin Lauren gave birth to her second baby, Noah.  I finally got to meet my godson when we went over to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner.  He's so cute.

Work at Best Buy has been crazy busy the couple weeks before Thanksgiving, obviously for Black Friday.  On truck nights (Tuesday and Friday nights), I'm in charge of putting away all of the lock-up items.  That's laptops, mp3 players, still and video cameras, cell phones, and GPS's.  I'm normally scheduled 7pm - 2am.  There's an overnight shift that comes in usually around midnight.  Now, I don't like to leave until I finish putting away all of the lock up, and the 4 trucks before thanksgiving, we've been getting so much stuff (note 400+ GPS compared to the average 10 - 20) that I wouldn't leave until around 4 in the morning.  The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I didn't leave until 5:30.  You better believe i'm expecting a hefty paycheck.  I've told a few people about my late nights and they're like "damn," and i realized that I failed to mention that they're not scheduling me till 5:30, that I choose to stay that late.  Because technically i can leave at 2.
