MEET MY HUBBY, THE CEILING GUY
I'm pooped!! A very looooong day at the office, a meeting after work that went until 8:30 p.m. So I put in a 10 hour day on little sleep. It was a good day though.
In our department at work, we have staff meetings about every 3 months after work. And our boss has this thing where she gives out "Applause Certificates", which are good for one hour off work, paid. She gives these out at our meetings to staff who have been commended by co-workers or by members for doing something above and beyond, so to speak. Well tonight I got 4 of them!! After the first two, I was getting embarassed for heaven's sake! Anyway I still have one from the last meeting that I haven't used yet, so now I have 5 hours paid time I can take off. One of the 4 tonight was from her, just because of the "extra effort" in learning a lot of new stuff lately. The other 3 were because of members who had phoned to talk to my boss about member service/help I had given them. Anyway it's really just all in a days' work for any of us, but it does make a person feel pretty great to get positive feedback like that.
So. The ceiling. It is all up, and hubby even got the light fixture installed tonight. But it's not quite finished yet, as he still has to put the crown moldings up. However, he got a call today and has to go back to work tomorrow...... so he'll either be working on it in the evenings, or the weekend. But the light at the end of the Ceiling Saga tunnel can at least be seen now, and we're all happy about that. At least tomorrow I can do some vaccuming and scrubbing down there while he and Pammie are at work. Maybe even move some things back in there for her, stuff that won't be in the way while he's finishing, and that she'll need to at least use her kitchen again. We'll leave the table and chairs out for now, until all of the work is complete. I am proud of my hubby for doing this job and saving us the money by doing it himself......and for doing such a great job too! It looks really nice, better than it did before! It's midnight now, and I just tucked him into bed. Poor guy has to get up early and head out for a full day of work in the morning ~ normally he'd be in bed on a work night around 8:30 p.m. **smoochies, honey!**
I'm not feeling as bummed out today as I was, about my job changing. I guess it's all a part of the sadness I already feel because I know I'm going to miss what I do now so much. That somehow just made me worry more about exactly what I'll be doing........ normal, I guess. But in the Big Picture, I still have a job. And I have it there, with those people, and my boss, who I absolutely adore. So I almost feel as if I have no right to be depressed about it, especially with so many worse things happening in this world to so many others. I mean, really.... this is small potatoes. So I'm picking my sorry ass up off the pity pot and counting my many blessings, and try to remember that I'm blessed in so many ways. I just have to kick myself a good one in the butt from time to time, lol.
It's called "Life" Jude!!!
Well peeps I can't keep these peepers open for much longer ~ I'm grateful that I get to sleep in a bit tomorrow, and maybe I'll get rid of this headache with some sleep! Have a great Thursday everyone, the week's just about done. PEACE BE YOURS! Catch ya later.........
Love Jude
