It's my last morning at Sam's place. It's been a nice time away from the stress of having to move. Though I fear having to go back home and having reality slap me in the face. I've enjoyed my time here.
I have had a pretty eventful week at work. I've been apart of a lot of co-workers happiness, and frustration. I rather feel like I haven't been working. Carlos and I are still putting together the goals charts. He got some good news himself, he's receiving a raise and is being allotted a dollar amount that he can divide amongst his staff! Both of those were excellent news to hear as we went to lunch. I'm sooo happy for him. He's well worth it! Then Renato has been training me in sales. He's a really cool guy and very driven and full of charisma which makes him great for sales. He's accomplished a lot at such a young age. He's completed his BA and moving onto his Masters and I admire people that have completed their education. I guess it's because I want to do that as well. I know of two people that are graduating today with their BA's and I have to say congratulations! Then there was a 2 1/2 hour lunch with my friend David. David and I had a lot to talk about and it's been needed but never done. It was a good talk. A little hard to take at moments but in the end I believe only good can come from it.
So it's almost Christmas and I have more then half my list to still shop for. Luckily I know what I want to give everyone, and luckily the majority of them are gift certificates. :) Hey it's the easiest way to go to make sure you get someone something they want. I know they are a bit impersonal but I'd rather get them a gift certificate so that they can pick what they want instead of having to return it.
Last night my church had a progressive dinner. It's where you start at one house for the soup and salad, go to the next for the main course, and the next for the desert. The cool part was we had to go in groups, get to the next house as quick as possible and couldn't come in without singing the entry song, which was different at every place. I have to admit I was lucky I had a group of good singers with me. ;) hehe So it was a lot of fun, and fast paced! Though in the end I don't think my stomach liked being so rushed and on the go... And back at the final house which ended up being my place we had a gift exchange. Instead of buying things we just took things we had around the house that were either new and never used or in good condition that we had to give away. We actually read a story and moved the gifts from left to right until the story ended, at the end of the story we were allowed to trade with others but only before opening the gift. I have to admit I cheated because I knew what my brother-in-law brought and I wanted it... It was a shop vac! :D A mini shop vac never opened! I figured it would be good for my car or what not. Either way it was a lot of fun and I'm really glad I went.
Well it's getting late. I need to get going. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Bye!
