Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

More than we sometimes realize. Even today I was given my "annual raise" and for a second I was slightly disappointed that it was a little less than I got last year. Then I realized the last job I was at NEVER would give me a raise let alone one every single year and that I'm make significantly more money now than I was then and have a good job. I feel fortunate.

Congratulations!! Happy for you!
Not just for your raise, but also for being so gracious and counting your blessings.

Do you at least get some sorta OT or comp time?

I have gotten a few comp days, so I shouldn't complain.

Still! You work a lot!!!

We've had a crazy busy year! Good for business, but tough on the stamina sometimes. However, our management treats us well.

Yeah that's not too bad...a little more time off for your hard work.

Yes, thank goodness ... More vacation days coming up later in the month. Lots of Christmas projects to do then!

We've had a crazy busy year! Good for business, but tough on the stamina sometimes. However, our management treats us well.

Glad you have a break coming up!! You're doing a great job!!!

I need to watch Hotel Transylvania 1. I see it all the time in the store but I've never watched it.
How about those Bengals? By the way if the Chargers win tonight I will win $52 in my office pool. Finally had a great week with my picks 10-3 against the spread thus far.

Too bad the Chargers lost last night, I was pulling for them to knock off the Steelers to give my Bengals a 3 game lead.

Merry Monday! Brand new week ahead.

My youngest's birthday is on Wednesday. I can't believe he will be 4!! I guess I need to stop referring to him as the baby.

Feeling somewhat blah today so I am having an easy day just catching up with house work and wrapping my sons birthday presents etc. I hope you are all off to a good start and the rest of the week goes how you want it.

Good Morning, MMC!!!! Wow!!! Internet connection on a Monday. Something is wrong here!!! LOL!!! It's going to be a warm day here with a high of 80 but tomorrow we get back to the fall weather for the rest of the week with high's in the 60's. There is even talk of frost next weekend. Things have been going okay here. Just been hitting the job hunt hard. Mom had another TIA over the weekend that led to us spending most of the day at the ER. They said there was really no reason to keep her though because they had already done all of the tests that they could. So they sent her home that night. She is getting around a little bit better today but still pretty shaky and having a hard time getting up out of the chair or couch by herself. In good news though, my niece in seattle who has the arthritis is finally showing enough improvement that they are going to take her off of her monthly infusions at the end of the year. The said her body just needs a break from the harsh meds. They know she will eventually flair and have to go back on them but hopefully she is able to go for quite a while before then. Well I better get back to the job hunt while I actually have connection. You are all in my thoughts and prayers daily. I hoping everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Miss you around here, your mom is in my thoughts.

Good Evening all!

I have a confession....I just cannot do Mondays anymore, just can't, uggghhhh....I would like to boycott them from here on out! I say we do 4 tens and then have a 3 day weekend after that.
Just a suggestion, that's all.......

I got home from work and found out that they had taken my wife's grandfather to the hospital at 3 am last night because he was very sick. The doctor to my MIL that his stomach was twisted???? And that since he has dementia and other illness, he was very combative because he was confused, especially when they tried to put a feeding tube in him. They had to restrain him and both my wife and my MIL are very upset this evening. the doctor said that if it does not correct itself, they will have to operate on him to correct it and the recovery time is 6 weeks with a feeding tube in him the whole entire time. At 94 years old, my MIL said that she cannot put him (her father) thru any more suffering and would not approve the surgery. My wife agreed. I hope and pray that it corrects itself.

I'll keep him in my thoughts
