Well now the vacation is over. I’m back on the plane and flying to Edmonton. It was a bit nervous about the flight. A blizzard hit Winnipeg yesterday. In the evening the family shoveled the driveway so that we would be able to drive this morning. The roads were somewhat treacherous, but I got to the airport an hour before my flight, which was, surprisingly, not delayed.
In other news,
Pedro was a co-worker at the store when I was working there. He was let go during my tenure, which was a shock to a lot of people. As Canticle said “But he’s an institution!”. Well now that institution is back and he owns the company. He bought it three days ago.
I’m happy for him and it is nice to know that the store will still be around, even if I’m not.
He already seems to be dong things smarter in the store. He’s acknowledged that some things aren’t going to sell unless they are put on a drastic sale. There are some paperback books that are still there, even though he remembers putting them on the shelf when he worked there. Now all the unpopular books are 60% off.
