Wow, in about 3 days 2011 will be upon us! I a
m looking forward to that! But before we get to 2011,I'm going to take a quick look back on 2010!! Let's start with the tremendous changes that have occurred in 2010--2010 started off the same as always in January of 2010 but on February 2 2010, when I entered Ruby Tuesday (my workplace at the time) ,there was startling news the shook the very core of the Dartmouth Mall's resident restaurant: Christopher Vieira, the RT GM I have worked for & respected for 8 years was fired from there. I was shocked & saddened to say the least. He was replaced by a gentleman named Bao Huynh. Not long after, another manager--Toni Barra, got the ax as well. I was devastated because these two great people, who I have the honor of calling them my friends, has helped me during my days as a RTD Team Member. Toni was replaced by another manager named Tim Cabral. For the next 3 months, I tried to do my best at
Ruby Tuesday but one by one, everyone I knew there started to leave & my hours were getting cut down to one day a week. I could not take it anymore so I got a job at the Swansea Mall doing housekeeping work full-time, I started May 1st and worked there for a while. During my time at Swansea, I felt very uncomfortable & unhappy there as well, as a result, my hours were getting cut also. But thankfully, the company I work for--SMS--also runs things at the Dartmouth Mall, so I went there & they needed someone for exterior housekeeping, so I took the job there on a part-time commitment until the full transfer can be complete--which occurred July 3,2010! After that, I am now a full-fledged member of the Dartmouth Mall team! At the same time, however, Bao was transferred to Taunton Ruby & was replaced by an old friend, Allen Frazier & another old friend, Anthony Martone, was on as kitchen manager. I hope they can help out Ruby Dartmouth get back on its feet again. Now, I am happy at the Dartmouth Mall, feeling no more stress & feeling more relaxed than I have ever been! Outside work, however, changes occurred at the home as well. My brother-in-law & sister, Brandon & Korah Haskell ,have returned
home with a baby on the way in May. I was excited about that. Then I have made new friends on a chatroom known as Tinychat--props to my peeps there! My new job was great, no worries unless I make a mistake though and I made a few, but they are minor ones that can easily be fixed however. Then during this year, we added a new room addition, which looks awesome!! This means more room in the house & possibly more company, let's see what happens in that situation! Plus, this year was a year of moving up in the technology world for our family--I got a new phone! And this holiday season was a memorable one for me! We have held Thanksgiving & Christmas in our house for the 1st time in years! Oh, I am a proud uncle to Trustin-Cruz Cory Haskell, who was born on Dec 7,2010! Plus, another sign I am moving up in the technology world: Unexpectedly, I got a Wii for Christmas!! To me ,this tops Christmas of 1990,when I got Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES at the time! Plus, I reunited with my former co-workers at the Waterstreet Cafe in March & at the Inner Bay Restaurant on Dec 11,2010--that place was where I broke my camera. Henceforth, I have bought new camera so I am back! Also, the Red Sox acquired first baseman Adrian Gonzalez in a trade with the San Diego Padres & signed outfielder Carl Crawford to a 7-year,$128 million dollar deal! They also added closer Bobby Jenks, and set-up specialist Dan Wheeler to contracts as well & they even brought back Lenny DiNardo! I also witnessed changes in the Dartmouth Mall, Dream Machine has been replaced by Tilt (which has better games than the Swansea Mall Tilt) & at the end of this year, McDonald's will no longer be there. Plus, the original creator of the Power Rangers, Haim Saban, bought back the franchise from Disney and is now opening a new season on February 5,2011 called Power Rangers Samurai, I can't wait for that!! So, that was what happened in my life in 2010! 2011,here I come!! :)
