Wednesday: another good day

Today was another good day! I had an inspection of the last thing that I signed off yesterday and only minor problems were found - all fixable- so that's awesome. I was able to get several other people started on some of my stuff today too, which is exciting.

In other news, here is an interesting article

Tuesday: a good day

I'm actually going to start with the good from yesterday. Sometimes I get so caught up with the bad/stressful things that I forget the good things...my promotion was announced on the work website. Everyone seems to look at these because they're fun to look at...you never know who you know that may have gotten promoted. Anyway, I received a lot of"congrats" and "you really deserved it" and so forth. It was really nice to hear. And Ben got several congrats for me over in his department. I guess it helps to be the only ones with our last name in the area.

Then today. I got the projects done that I didn't get done yesterday. I got one tiny project done that I wasn't expecting to get done. (And when I say I got them done in this context it means I directed them...I didn't do the actual work. Kudos go to the mechanics that have to put up with me.) So I signed all three things off, which means I have ALL my stuff signed off for this first aircraft. Yippee!

Then we divided up girls/boys for Bible Study and that was good. I usually feel more like talking in a smaller group, so everyone seemed to have some good prayer requests that came out.

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.
