BIG TIME T.G.I.F.!!!!

There are good weeks and bad weeks when you work at a newspaper, much like every job I'm sure. This has been a CRAZY week! Laying out a newspaper, and various special sections, becomes quite challenging this time of year. With Kansas State and KU in the NCAA Tournament, things are hopping. And it will only get worse as either one or both of the teams keep winning. Of course, in my heart I want both teams to go as far as possible, but in my "work" heart I could care less if they both lose. DON'T SHOOT ME! On top of all that craziness, this week has been one of major upheaval on our floor. They've been moving the advertising department completely out of the other side of the hall - the lucky department is getting new carpet and furniture. People, furniture, copy machines, fax machines, printers, and boxes full of "stuff" are stacked everywhere. It's pretty much a maze getting around on my side of the hall. I think it will be a few weeks before everything is back to normal.

Just talked to my sister. She is doing a good job of controlling her blood sugar and seems much "perkier" than she's been in a long time. She still has home health care coming every day to change the dressing on her toe, and she also has physical therapy coming 3 times a week. She's hoping to go back to work in the next couple of weeks.

My musical choice at work late this afternoon (while paginating our weekend classified sections) was Michael W. Smith. I needed something a bit soothing...look at him, isn't he soothing?Today's quote is from the late actor Christopher Reeve: "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

The move is making me super crabby. I'm sick to death of stuff everywhere.

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
