Yup, today is my Friday...work wise anyway. I have the Colbie Caillait performance tomorrow afternoon, so I just took the whole day off. And, my mom is out of town, so we swapped flex days at work so I can be home with the girls on Friday. So, YAHOO, 4 day weekend coming up!
Today was a much better day at work. Things were pretty quiet, so I got a lot of stuff done, which felt really good. I had my annual performance review (a few months late, thanks to the shutdown this summer). It went well, pretty much the same as every year. Although, I did move up to "exceptional" in a couple fields this year. I must be "growing up" because she says I deal with our customers much more "professionally" now, and am able to hide my frustrations with people well. She is always impressed with my exceptional organizational skills, and my big plus is my ability to handle a large work load with ease. If only she could hear my swearing and outbursts throughout the day! Ha.
I also received my 10 year gift today. They give you a catalogue on your "milestone" anniversaries, and I picked a weather radio this year. We've never had one, and say all the time that we need one. We have satellite, so if there is bad weather going on, we lose signal, and have no idea what's going on. So, I'm pretty excited to have that now.
I also had a wonderful lunch date with a great friend. My friend, Melissa, used to work with me, and luckily we kept in touch after she moved on. We meet up for lunch every so often, which is always a blast. We have so much in common, it's great getting together and catching up on life. She wasn't able to make it to Amelia's birthday party this summer, so she had a little gift for me to bring her (which, by the way, she LOVES).
The afternoon at work flew by, and I was on my way home, ready for a wonderful weekend! I started some laundry, cleaned up the kitchen, and we ate some random leftovers when the rest of the family arrived home. Just a nice, relaxing Wednesday night.
On my way home, I drive around the neighborhood and took a few pictures of the changing colors. Things are looking SO beautiful around the city right now. LOVE those changing fall colors!
I AM SO JEALOUS that you have fall already!!! Look at those trees!! It's still hot as hades down here... ugh!
ReplyDeleteOMG - it's SO beautiful right now! Best views ever driving around town :) Hopefully you get a nice change soon too!
ReplyDeleteMe too - I really want to drive out to the NC mountains for just a day with the kids and hike/enjoy the leaves - it just has to cool off a bit! Cold snap this weekend at night might speed up some foliage change for us I hope!!!
