Finally Friday!

Wow, finally Friday.  This week has been a pretty greuling one!  Work Work Work is what it has been all about.  I am looking forward to sleep.  Lots and lots of sleep.  Although, let's be honest... I am probably going to be going out tonight, then doing a pub crawl tomorrow afternoon, and probably going to be out tomorrow night too.  Sleep does not look very promising, at least not until Sunday.

Looking forward to being in Milwaukee tomorrow afternoon.  It has been many a moon since I have gone out in Milwaukee.  We will probably hang around Water Street for a good portion of the afternoon and then head up to North Ave.  I will probably have a drink or two, but leave it at that.  I would like to be able to drive back home tomorrow.  I have no interest in sleeping on a hotel room floor!!

I am so ready to be out of work, and it is only 11:30am!  I am just tired of my coworker's tantrums.  Come on, you are not 4, you are 40!!  And did you think you were going to be able to act like this every day and never be confronted about it?  Do you think it is appropriate to say how much you hate this company and how you wish it would burn to the ground????  Not OK in my book!

I miss my nephew and my parents so much sometimes.  I wish I could see them more often, but that won't be happening if gas prices keep creeping up!  I am not made of money!  If only others would make the drive down to see me rather than expect me to come up to them.  One can dream, I guess.

Sure has been a while...

Well it has been quite a while since I have written anything on here... and my how things have changed!
I am still working at Essential Industries in Merton.  I was *this close* to moving to St. Louis in August.  I got offered a job down there, but it was difficult to make the decision to pack up and be 6-8 hours away from my friends and family.  Seems everyone is pretty happy I didn't go, and when I really think about it, so am I.  I have some terrific friends that I have become much closer to in the past six months. 

While I get frustrated at work from time to time, I really do love working here.  Everyone is so friendly and nice.  I don't know how I would have felt being somewhere I didn't know anyone... probably would've become a recluse!!

My nephew is about two and a half now, which is incredible!  He is such a smart, funny kid.  I wish I could see him more often- along with the rest of my family.  I haven't seen most of my family since Christmas.  It is weird to be so distant, only because I live so far away from them all.

Right before my last few posts I had knee surgery.  Well things are much better!  I am fully functioning and feeling good :-).  I was left with some arthritis after the surgery which is taken care of using an injection once or twice a year.  I think I can deal with that!

Well, that is all for now... I will be sure to update more often!
