Bored!

I can't believe how much down time I have in this new job! I am starting to worry that I am not doing something that I really should be doing. I keep going over the training folder I was given, and everything in there is done. I just don't understand how when I asked my predecessor if she ever had down time, she insisted she never did. Am I that much faster, or am I seriously missing something?

I feel like I need to be doing something, but I can't find things to do. I have already updated all of my spreadsheets for the new year, even ones I haven't used yet. I have gone through every file that I inherited, seeing if there was something I was missing and also learning what I could. I have asked my co-worker in my office if I can help her and have done things for her.

I guess my boss would tell me if there was a problem, but I always worry about things like this. It is so different not having anything to do, and no one to talk to either. At least at the Brigham, if I had down time, there was always some one to talk to. I really miss that. I get a long well with my new office mates, but there isn't that feel of family we had at the Brigham.

Oh well. At least my job is secure for the moment and I have an income. I should just be grateful.

Good Day

Ok, I am calling for snow...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... PLEASE!

All right. I got that out of my system. (Can you tell I really want it to snow?)

It was a good weekend. I got out and exercised on Saturday with Mom, Jess, and Wendee. I am so out of shape it is not even funny. After 16 minutes of fast walking, I was done. I am pathetic. But, I will get better.

Also on Saturday, I got my taxes done. I am getting almost $7,000!! You can't even imagine how this is going to help me! I am going to be able to pay off a lot and still have some for savings, which is what I really wanted!

I think I am going to pay every monthly bill with it also. Above and beyond what I normally pay. This will put me one month ahead on all my bills. Then, if I run into a problem like I have had lately, it won't be a catastrophe.

I am also going to stock up on food. I am so tired of my fridge being empty. So are the kids.

I am so looking forward to this! I can't wait for it to come so I can get this started. I have been calculating what I am going to do, and it's so much fun!!

Creepy Empty Office

It's Friday and for some reason, I am the only one in the office at the moment. Everyone was here earlier, but left. It is really weird. It is quiet even when they are all here, but now, yikes!

Also, there is construction going on next door that keeps banging on the walls, making it sound like those spooky sounds you hear in scary movies. It really is kind of creepy!
