Working the Schedule

We are really jamming a lot of activity into a short time-frame. Our second game working at Spring Training was yesterday as the Kansas City Royals beat the Colorado Rockies, 3-2, in a very fast game that was over by 3:30 PM. We had to stay and handle all of the store business until the fans left. I guess people think they need to make a day of it regardless of when the game ends because it was nearly 4:30 by the time Josie and I clocked out and went on our way to the house. I did get this shot of the store crowd just before the game started:

The shot was taken from my post at the entrance where I watch for folks to walk out with merchandise without paying. Josie works one of the three cash registers just outside the "Checkout" sign. The busiest time in the store is before the game and the line was from the Checkout area all the way back to my post. Let me just say that the pace is hectic for awhile until the game starts and people are settled in their seats. It isn't quite so bad during the game.

We went to the house from the game and packed and loaded almost all of the rest of the items that were left. While we were loading the truck, our neighbors from two doors away that are renting the house that we almost bought - but fell through as a result of a lien on the title - stopped by to chat. Their lease expires at the end of May and they may be interested in leasing our house. We said we would let them know how things go following our meeting today with the property manager. They are a nice couple that have grown kids and live alone with a dog and a cat. I don't know about the animals, but the couple seems very responsible.

We will (hopefully) complete all of the work that needs to be done to get out of the house today on our day off. We have one more trip to storage to make, a trip to Goodwill to drop off some stuff, touch-up painting to do and some cleaning to do before our meeting at 3 PM today. I'm already tired just thinking about the day...
