After the X-Rays, scans, and poking the doctor had determined that the teeth are a complete loss. The only way foreword would be dentures or implants. It's hard to say that they railroaded me into making a decision right away. But the implants sounded like a good idea at the time and they talked about financing and it looked like it was going to be $620/month for 75 months. Then they said that before the first surgery to remove the teeth would require a payment of $11,000 and then after I healed six months later I would have to pay another $11,200 for the implanting of false teeth. It seem...

    I went to bed early last night. The store closed at 5 last night because of Thanksgiving. And when I got home I just kind of shut down. I really couldn't write anything on the blog or work on any of the many things I want to be working on. An idea that I came up with was because I got off early and mind and body was just feeling like “hey, it's the end of the day were done now” even though I got off early and had a short day. The counter to that thought is on a normal day I do most of the writing on these blog posts after work (writing this first part before work though). The other thought it is probably Holiday Depression. I did feel like I was missing out on something, which is odd because my family going to have the family gathering on Saturday (Weather promoting). But then again that kind of thing not making sense is kind of one of what makes that kind of thing, um, that kind of thing.

    Another one of those days where I'm just pissed off all day. I'm pretty sure that it's just the mental state, and I'm pretty sure that there are more than just me being affected (effected? deflected?) by this. I keep finding myself standing next to someone trying to get them to do literally ANYTHING and I'll be standing next to them YELLING THEIR NAME, YELLING THEIR NAME, YELLING AT THEM! Seriously it just seems like nobody can hear me, at all. Not a single thing I've said over the intercom or the walkie-talkies that we have in the store has had a single response. I seriously feels like I'm yelling into the void.

    For lunch I had Southwest style “detox” soup. I always get a chuckle out of the name of that recipe, if your interior parts are doing what they're supposed to be doing there really isn't any food that is going to be doing anything

    I seriously don't want this to be the “Mark Whines About Work Blog” but we had three people “no-call-show” two people call in sick and one person that went home sick, and there was a guy that had put in his two week notice that ends next week who just announced that today was going to be his last day. So I was waiting all day for him to decide that he'd had enough and just walk out. (He was scheduled to close Self Checkout) I got to an argument with him that if he didn't work next week he'll be fired for “Job Abandonment” and it wouldn't be considered that he quit. His argument was that if he gave them that long to cover his shifts that it shouldn't be considered that he just abandoned his job. My counter is that if he said that his last day was going to be the 29th that means he was going to work until the 29th so if he didn't work the hours that he was scheduled for he will be fired. And if you didn't work the hours you were scheduled, that's not quitting, that is being fired. It is amazing how many people have put in their notice, and then just stopped showing up. But then again it is amazing how many people haven't given any notice and had just disappeared just to never be heard from again. I'm not sure if there are any lasting effects (affects? Reflects?) from being fired vs quitting, but my logic would say that it is better to have properly quit from your previous employer vs being fired because you decided to stop showing up. I'm not sure if that could show up for any future employer

I baked some bratwursts for dinner. I'm not sure if those were on the menu for this week. But after work I wanted something that I could just throw into the oven to cook.

 I'm praying that the weather will be in a state where everybody can show up for "Thanksgiving" tomorrow. I'm not going to hold it against any of my siblings if they don't think that they can make it to Mom's place tomorrow. But I think I need to visit Mom tomorrow. Even if the others can't get there. I just need to get out of the house. (This is not a challenge for the others to arrive, I just need to get out of the house)
