I’ve spent over a week preparing for today only to not have to do anything! Man you should have seen me bouncing off the walls when I found out no merchants signed up for the training class! Hahaha All that tension was released with a big sigh and a lot of giggles! I’ve since then calmed down and am dragging waiting for my time to head to lunch. And in the long run this may be a bad thing as I feel prepared and not conducting the training meeting is just putting off the inevitable. But I was in a panic when I first found out I was going to be conducting the training classes and now I’ve calmed down quite a bit about the whole concept.
I spoke with Jesse’s daughter. Nothing major took place. She’s coming up here to visit her grandparents this weekend and wanted to see if we could get together. Also she’s spending a week there over her summer break.

So, it’s Friday. And not just any Friday, it’s a Friday proceeding a 3 day weekend! Gotta love that! My weekend is filling up fast though. Tonight I’m going out to dinner in Claremont with my friends Tim and Annette. Saturday morning I’m heading over to my moms to go over some of the decoration ideas we have for a luau we’re planning for the ladies of the church and while I’m there my sister is going to cut and color my hair. And I got a call from my friend Erin wanting to plan a time for her, David and me to go see Pirates. So I might do that Saturday night. Sunday after church I will be able to relax. And Monday my parents want me to come over to their place for a BBQ (though I seriously want to be completely anti-social that day but its family so I’ll probably end up going). So it’ll be a pretty busy weekend.
This week I’ve started my days the right way. I’ve made an effort to wake up earlier and get some bible reading in, as well as putting on the full armor of God and have noticed a huge difference in how I handled the tough situations that were put in front of me.
Yesterday I got on the freeway at my normal time and before I even made it to Main St. I had a flat tire. I pull over and called my brother and my other roommate Mike, neither picked up so I left messages seeing if they’d be willing to help me. It’s not that I’m incapable of changing a tire but when I was so close to home I figured I’d see if I could get some help being that I was all dressed up for work and all. When they didn’t answer I put the hair in a pony tail, went and grabbed everything I needed to change it to the tiny donut I have. But luckily my brother called just then. He and Mike were on their way and he wanted me to just wait in the car, which I did.
I get to America’s Tire and ended up getting two new tires. The reason being was that the flat was a tire that had a picked up a nail and I had recently patched. The tire had too much damage and so it needed to be replaced. The tread on the new tire was at level 13 and my current started at 9 so I had heard that when replacing tires with such different tread it is wise to do them in pairs. So that’s what I did. A couple hundred dollars later and only a couple hours after I got the flat I was driving away from America’s Tire to go home and change because I did end up getting grease on me.
I got to work a couple hours behind schedule but considering everything that wasn’t too bad. I had people scheduled for this webinar so I had that to think about too. It went well! My trainer said I needed to extend the time I showed the live demo and I handled a customer’s question with too little information. But all-in-all she said I did fine and that extending the demo’s will just be a matter of experience. So I’m extremely relieved that is over with.
The rest of the day was extremely hectic though. We had a lot of emergencies with our payroll clients who didn’t upload their file in enough time to get their employees paid by today. But amazingly I was able to leave work on time! As soon as I got home I zoned out in front of the tv for the rest of the night though!
I’ve recently gotten into the series Scrubs. Of course I would, as next season is the last! But anyways, my friend David had season 1-4 on DVD and I’ve been watching a few episodes here and there. I really like that series! I’ve got a huge crush on Zach Braff now. I mean I always liked him in his movies, but something about this show… Crushing big time! Hehe
Well it’s about closing time and so I will stop my rambling here. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
