My Week in Review

To say my week was interesting was to say the least. Monday DH and I had to put my car in the shop for a new windshield. It had been cracked from trucks throwing rocks on my daily drive to LR. On the way in DH decided he needed Krispy Kreme, so we stoped bought 2 dozen , he took his two and a cup of Java I took the rest to work. I was blessed all day by my hungry group of co-workers. I had made the mistake of showing up one day with none when they had expected me to arrive with donuts in hand. DH remembered that, hence the stop on the way in Monday. Tuesday I woke up dead tired, arrived an hour late for work and I live an hour away so that really made me 2 hours late. Wednesday I did not have the energy to get up, not sure if it was the rain or the fact I was just tired. I stayed in bed, called in sick, something I rarely do. It was 3:00 when I got motivated to go out, I took Mommydearest28 with tme. We got a late lunch and did not have to cook dinner. DH had to fend for himself. On Thursday I was on my way in and got hung up in traffic at the scene of an 18 wheeler having trucker troubles. The Looky loo's slowed traffic waaay down so I was late for work again. Back at work and greeted with much enthuaism, I was missed. By Friday I was so happy it was the end of the week and I could sleep in the next day. However,before the day was over I got a call from a local head hunter. They had called me the previous week, to tell me about a job that would fit me to a T, in a place I had come not to like. On this Friday they were calling to tell me I was not what the cliet was looking for. I could have told them that since 2 years ago the client had said the same thing. I did not really think things had changed that much so I was not dissappointed. By the end of the day a co-worker who lives in my town had submitted her resignation effective in 2 weeks. That was sort of a bummer since she had given no indication she was looking. Turns out she found a job that lets her work from home doing the same thing she was doing there. She has a teen at home and a husband who fussed about her continued daily commute. It is a $400 dollar a month savings in gas and eating out. I guess I was a little envious I was not he first to abandon ship. So to reward myself for a week well spent we went out for dinner and I had a glass of Sangria.
