This week I went to two company outings. One was a reward - dinner and drinks on the bank for my team selling the most of our new checking account. The second was our company Christmas party - which they have moved to summer in that past years due to weather and scheduling convenience. Alas, a bunch of people couldn't come due to vacations/ ( Read more... )

Here I am sitting on my couch in my dear little living room typing away on my new computer! Yay! The coffee is brewing, the day has begun. I'm way happy. It's been awhile, but it's good to be back. I swear the bank kept figuring out what websites I liked to check out (such as this one - not the risque sites just the time-waster-at-work sites) ( Read more... )

Went to see Happy Feet this weekend. Thought it would be a nice, innocent, cute movie. Not nice, certainly not innocent, and smelling distictly of Al Gore. Not only did it have the most ridiculous plot but it seemed to be the children's version of An Inconvient Truth. It made humans look stupid in every way, and I'm sure it was not any ( Read more... )

Here I sit, in the drive-thru at the bank, while a blizzard falls on the world. Oh for school days. Five years ago, a day like today would mean sleeping in, watching The Price is Right, and playing board games with my brothers and sister. (We always played Monopoly on snow days, until we all got so sick of losing to one brother in particular ( Read more... )

Ironic: after work, I'm dashing over to church for a quick rehearsal for a sketch/skit I'm going to be in on Sunday morning. The message of the skit is to warn people of the evils of television. I believe the line repeated as a group several times is "You shall not take anything unholy into your house." I play the single, lonely woman who's ( Read more... )

Wow...just crawled out of a huge pile of cash. Almost drowned in it even. But survived...barely. There's 14 min. left till this bank teller will go home for the evening, but I have to say, I've had a good day. I think it's right for me to feel just a bit victorious to have just taken in a $13,000.00 cash deposit and have my drawer balance ( Read more... )

I have to say, the last 15 min. have been pretty dandy. My dear husband sent me flowers - major brownie points to him. And I went thru that whole embarrassed-but-excited routine. I had to carry the flowers with the balloon and stuffed dog back through the whole teller area - I'm quite sure I blushed ( Read more... )

Tonight is the season premiere of Lost - move ahead 10 spaces ( Read more... )

It's snowing and this makes me think reflective thoughts. Snow seems to have the power to halt things - all things and people everywhere just slow down when it's snowing. It's kinda nice. And when the world slows down, the mind has a moment to think about something other than everything else ( Read more... )

Last night I bought myself a new coffee mug. Nothing fancy, just a mug from Target. I realized the other day that all the mugs I currently own I've had since my freshman year of college. Nothing wrong with that except that I used those mugs - alot - in college, not peacefully enjoying a cup of coffee, but downing it with the purpose of staying ( Read more... )
