Christmas Countdown - 2012

[jennifer91]

Morning, MMC :] I hope your Thursday is a wonderful day! Just think, only a couple of more days and then it is the weekend.

I accidentally slept in this morning which is not a bad thing since I have an early class. The good thing is when I turned on the TV, there was a version of "A Christmas Carol" on. My mom and I were both very excited and she came in the room to watch with me while I had breakfast.

I am very, very tired. I have been overloaded with work for my classes because college is winding down to the end now. I have next week, the week after, and then it is finals week for me after that. I am doing very well in my classes, knock on wood. I just received two important tests back and I got a 95% on one and a 93% on the other. At least I know my hard work is paying off!

My Pittsburgh Penguins lost last night in the first playoff game. It was one of those that almost made me sick to my stomach. Seeing your team up 3-0 and then the other team coming back to win 4-3 is very disheartening. I am not sure what happened, but after the first period the entire team fell apart. We scored our three goals in one period and then died out. I do partially blame the refs for not counting an offsides which resulted in the other team scoring, because the end result could have been different. But that's how it goes in sports, sometimes the refs just miss things, it happens. Although I am disappointed, there are potentially six games left so I have to try to be hopeful!

The home where I work suffers from indoor pollution...they never open windows, it is warm and stuffy, but the owner claims they have and air exchanger that keeps the air clean. Why then do the 2 of them have a cough all the time? I work there several days in a row and get one too. Would love to get someone in to test the air quality but I am sure to get into trouble if I try.

Ok, that was my rant for the day!

I'm lucky in that respect. We added a few administrative people a couple years ago and needed more space. We rented an office trailer (that was, luckily, brand new), and the three of us in engineering moved into it. My office is now bigger, and I have three windows...that open!! I love it on cool spring and fall days.

maybe that is my problem, I am a fresh air person and even have windows open in the winter. Just cannot stand a stuffy room! Must be all that camping I have been doing since I was younger than I am now.

Good morning Christmas Family !!

Made and Coach - Congratulations on your MMC anniversary !!

((Maureen)) - I hope you feel better soon xo

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement and prayers. You are all a truly amazing Christmas family. I have some news.

I GOT A NEW JOB !!!!!!!!!!

I guess I did not blow all those tests like I thought. There was one I took at something 3 a.m. one night and I guess I only thought I blew it. The transcription was really easy and the doctor so easy to understand. The problem was with the voice player. I could not figure out how to slow it down or adjust the settings so I did the best I could.

I was really really SHOCKED yesterday when I got an e-mail from the company recruiter asking if I was interested in a position with them typing Oncology.

However, I do not take ANY CREDIT for this. This, to me, was God's doing. I prayed a really, really long time on Tuesday night and asked Him please to help me. The next thing I knew, there was this job offer.

I don't think the money is quite as good but I will be off when I want. Which means I won't have to worry about being able to see my sister x.

Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much. I love you all so much xo

I feel I have to post this as a way of saying thanks to Him:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.


2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

I was just holding them. Honest. Just limbering up for when the doctor says I can use my upper arms. But I will not tell you for whom I was holding them. You would be VERY surprised!!!

I don't want to be a tattle tale but I'm pretty sure I saw Seawaters with a tray full of twinkie's and a slingshot.
