Another Week Gone By....

Well, another week has passed and nothing new has happened. I gotta get a life.

Work has calmed down a bit. The shut down is almost there. The management hosted a lunch for the shut down team and passed out some bonus checks. I was thrilled to get an additional $150 this week. That is until my former boss asked if I would overnight the checks to those in the field. Nosey as I am, I looked at the amounts on those I was sending and was insulted. Mine was a token amount. And I'm sure after our last flap she felt she needed to give me something since everyone else on the team got something. Mine was a pittance compared to the $350 and $400 checks that were awarded. I know - I know. Gratitude should be shown here. I am grateful but it goes back to what I said a long time ago. "If you're not on the list, you're not on the list - and I wasn't on the list". It's very hard to look her in the eye these days. I can only wait till we get in our new space and I truly am doing my new job. (Then I'll have something new to complain about)

I think Spring has finally hit the East Coast. Yesterday it was almost 60 with a lot of sunshine. Today will be sunny too, but not as warm. I got for a haircut at noon and will be glad for it. BJ's wedding is on the 27th and by that time, the length will be just right. I'm excited about the wedding because I want my dear friend to have a happy, new life. She deserves it after putting up with me these past 5 years. I love her dearly.

I'm still thinking about the trip to Brazil. I'll have to get serious about it soon. I will ask the travel agent who did the cruise for me, to give me her honest opinions. I know she wouldn't steer me wrong. Then I will have to really curb my spending so I can enjoy this one. This trip has been my dream since I was a kid and will fulfill that dream before I get too old to enjoy it. I've more than enough time set aside so I won't lose pay if and when I go.

Other than that, I'm OK.

God bless you all.
