A Wild 24 Hours ...


The last 24 hours have been, well, really bizarre. Last night after work a bunch of the girls from the store surprised Kristen with a baby shower at the nearby Don Pablos. We all had a good time laughing and eating and generally just hanging out...

Then, in case you didn't know, Sandy proclaimed today, January 25, "What a Difference a Year Makes" Day. It was on this date last year that she and her co-workers found out they were closing her office in July. She was THRILLED!! (A nice severance package helped.) Anyway, one year later, she is happily working full time at church as the administrative assistant in the Worship Department with a great group of people and all kinds of interesting things to do.

And then there was my day. Our district manager came for a visit and decided to tell our manager how awful everything was, etc. etc. etc. and that maybe she should consider stepping down. Talk about getting blind-sided!!! He left with no specifics as to what to improve and my manager in tears in her office. Mind you my manager was out on disability from August to the beginning of December and this was the first time she's seen him since the summer. MR. PERSONALITY AND TACT strikes again! Not to worry, when she gets over the shock of his comments, she'll be back fighting and the management will be there with her. (That's Yukie in the middle of the photo with the black shirt.)

Anyway, tomorrow is my day off and we're going out to church to help with the prep work for the Ladies Retreat next weekend. And hopefully I'll get more pages done.

Enjoy,
Janet
