Monday: a stressful day

Today was stressful. I knew it would be due to what I was trying to do in a short amount of time. It was a better day than it could have been, but there were other things that could have gone better too. Hopefully by tomorrow the work issues will be resolved, at least for a few days.

We also found out that 5% of the workforce is going to be laid-off/transferred. Ben and I don't think we'll be in this group, but we also would be surprised if this was the end of the layoffs. We've been doing a lot of thinking, but not a lot of decisioning. :) We'll find out more Tuesday/Wednesday.

Saturday: various things

Today's post is a collection of things that I meant to mention throughout the week but didn't because I was busy/stressed/etc.

I have a new niece! Scarlet Grace was born early Wednesday.


My dad was featured in a nice article in the Hope Connection flier. You can read it here. I also really like the picture of him.

Owego was voted the coolest small town in America. I think it is because of our road construction:


My quilt is still going:

Wednesday: ups and downs

Oh, today was an up and down day. The down was job stuff. The up was that I got a ton of gifts for making Smart Suggestions at work: a cool mouse pad, a desk picture frame/clock, a car visor, and a garment bag. Some of which may be gag gifts in the future...

The records department also started putting up files in .pdf format. Previously the loaded every page as a separate file and it was in a .tif format and they were about 30MB. All of which lead to a lot of frustration by everyone because it took about 30 minutes to print your average document. But now I can do it in 30 seconds and the zoom works! I was pumped.

Monday: dentist

I went to the dentist today and it was one of the best appointments I think I've ever had. It only took 25 minutes, no cavities, the sonicator thingy didn't hurt my ears, pain was at a minimum, etc.

Yay.

Friday: toes and moving

I had a toe appointment today. I was a little on the edge about getting some nails removed again, but then two days ago one was bad so I think I will get them removed. It might be a bit yet as the recovery time might need to coincide with what's happening at work.

We also helped move some friends into their new house as they needed to move out at the last minute. It's a cute house that they moved into.

Thursday: better than expected

Well, I kind of dreaded going into work today based on yesterday. However, a lot of stuff got figured out the first hour or so that I was there...and some of it made me so excited! It was a rather dumb reason to be excited, yet I was. Then I got several complements today on work that I've done recently, so that was nice. And then some work was done and my estimated time was a few hours under what the actuals were, but not too bad.

Ben and I are raiding in a new instance and we just got the first boss down on the first try. It was rather exciting!

Wednesday: work

Well, we're back at work. The day went ok until the end, when it stopped going ok. Oh well, something to deal with tomorrow I guess. I think Ben is still working too, which is sad, but it at least sounds like stuff is going ok.

Oh shoot. I had a deep thought I was going to post but forgot it. It was brief, but good. Maybe next time.
