Yesterday turned out to be a good day. I did not think in light of the economy and the cutting of jobs and overtime that we were going to get Christmas bonuses this year. Money is always a good thing especially when you are not expecting it.
Then as I was leaving last night I was talking to my boss and telling her I wish I could work Saturday and get my some stuff done. She looked at me and said go ahead. She said I could work the overtime as much as I needed. I am sorry I don’t mean to sound greedy but when I got divorced and paid for a house on my own for a year and lawyers I had depleted my savings account. So now that I am independent it is important to me to be “set financially” I like to have my own money in my pocket and money in savings for emergencies. This overtime is just a bonus.
Anyway what was I talking about….oh yeah….
I am guessing I have over 1000 people in my queue, which is job security, but that is 1000 people/families that collections efforts have failed on and are about to lose their home. I don’t care who you are even if you are a scrooge; you have to feel bad when people lose their home. No matter if it is a trailer, a mansion or a shoe… to them it is still home and nothing says Merry Christmas like foreclosure. I am thinking that is why I am not in the Christmas spirit this year.
I need to get gifts for my mom, dad and grandma…but what do you get for the people who have EVERYTHING. Tomorrow I have to go to the mall…I hate the mall and even hate it more this time of year when stores are so crazy. I like to know what I want to get before I go so I can get in and get the hell out. Speed shopping is my kind of shopping, I know… how un-female of me. Whatever, there are just more important things to do with my time.
Well I am off to work for a little while, and I am going to take Sable with me… that big building is kinda creepy when I am the only one there, I hear all kinds of noises. It’s an old historic building so who knows…I might not be alone “spooky” If there is ghosts there I hope they help me get my work done.

the best kinda gifts the human gets me are the ones where we spend time together doing stuff like going chipmunk hunting in the forest or going on walk-thons with ten million others. also snaks are good as gifts.
ReplyDeleteNooter ~ oh my gosh! I need to get Sable something super great, a Chipmunk sounds like a good idea... but i dont know, i think it would not be very merry for the chipmunk... I better place an order from Three Dog Bakery ASAP.
ReplyDeleteThose are some good tips, So i think for the parents I will go to the chocolate store for snaks and get them some movie passes or maybe a weekend at the resort they give sleigh rides so they can spend time together.
mmmm... chocolate covered chipmunks....
ReplyDeleteHere is hoping that your Saturday went well. And that the boogey man didn't get ya....Come to think of it, if it was the boogey man...that would have been me.
