drive-bys make me smile...

Ok, let me re-phrase that... driving to work every morning is pretty uneventful, however, I love when I am cruising along, and I happen to notice a shiny black car has pulled up next to me and has matched my speed, I look over and there is this orange-haired guy smiling at me, then he makes a kissy face, smiles again, then speeds off... ya I love those kinds of drive-bys! The make my Monday mornings start with a smile!

quite time...

I love when my office has meetings that I don't have to be in! Its so much quiter in the office and I can get my stuff done without interruptions, and I can listen to my music at a more then reasonable level... meaning I can actual hear it! Todays meeting involves all but 3 people in my office, ya its nice to be management that doesn't actually get to make real big decisions. But its ok cause I don't want to be in that meeting anyways, its a meeting with our lab, who we aren't planning on using this year. They (well its actually just 1 guy) are giving a presentation on why we should use them again this year... fat chance though cause we have much better success with the other ones we have been testing out!

I have been at work for an hour and a half now and this is what I have done:
-checked email and other personal website
-changed the back up tape (WORK)
-checked slickdeals
-printed out the web orders (WORK)
-showed Laulita videos of Dexter playing with Bella
-answered the phone (WORK)
-cleaned out the fridge
-ran to the dumpster to throw out old stuff from fridge
-realized the back door was locked so had to run around to the front...brrr...
-refilled the sugar -ate some coffee cake... yum!
-attempted to unlock the back door
-went and asked Toni to refresh my memory on how to unlock the back door
-ripped January off my desk calendar
-updating my Blog

... yes, I have such a hard job this time of year, but in a few months I won't even have enough time to drink my coffee... I kind of wish our season lasted a bit longer. 3 months off would be nice rather then like 7 or 8ish. We have approximately 4 months of crazy busy time, then it stops BOOM... nothing... we go from 30 graduations in a weekend, every weekend to 1 graduation a month, if that. Its crazy...

Ok... I hear chatting going on outside my office... gotta head out there and join in!! :-D
