Safety First

I was on my way to work this morning and at like 8:15am I heard my phone receive a text. Weird – who’s texting me so early?

Then my phone rang. I was thinking it was J telling me i forgot some random thing at home, but what could I have forgotten that was so important?

I stopped at starbucks and look to see who called. Ah yes, the Workplace-wide Alert system, which contacts everyone in case of an emergency. So I checked the text: Power outage for several hours in all buildings.

At this point I’m thinking to myself SCORE – bad weather day? Maybe we’ll be sent home!

Dresses!

I totally forgot to add some fun news to my winter break update. I was asked to be a bridesmaid in another wedding this Spring! I’m really happy that this is finally happening for this couple and I’m really excited to get to share their celebration with them!

The wedding is pretty soon, so we had to hurry up and make a decision on dresses. So after 2 days of shopping and trying on dress after dress (some cuter than others), this is what I ended up with:

Stress and Whatnot

Why is it that when I have to deal with something tedious and out of the ordinary, it’s never just one problem at a time? I’m going to go on a long rant here!

On 1/4, the first business day of 2010, I found several problems that needed to be tackled:

Chrismakkah update

So yeah it’s been over a month (I think) since my last post. I seriously suck!!! Prepare for a WAVE of posting :)

First things first: Chrismakkah and winter break

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my employers. I have been so spoiled my entire working life, and I think that if I were ever to leave my job(s) and go to a place that doesn’t give 2 weeks off at the end of the year I would die a little inside. But alas, I was able to relish in the 2 weeks of mandatory vacation time the end of last month. It’s usually a glorious time for me. This year wasn’t really relaxing, but not having to go to work, regardless of the stressors you encounter, is still glorious. So hallelujah lol.

My plan for break was to sleep in every day, eat well, go to the gym more days than not, catch up on ALL my TV shows, and read a book. The reality of what happened was sleep in about half the days, eat way too much crap, go to the gym once maybe?, catch up on one season of one TV show, and read 0 pages of a book. Not even any in a magazine! Yikes.

So what happened exactly? Yeah I’m not sure either.
