Hump day

Today was a day I wish would be over. I'm just in one of those moods today. I have no reason why, but all I can say is 'it's one of those days".

Work went pretty good, until I found out that all the "company wide, or should I say facility wide" emails I have been getting were all out of Burr Ridge, IL. This is where the director of our department is located and some how, I have been put on there email list, like I work there. I was beginning to wonder what was going on and until today, I kind of figured it out. I'm not on the Dubuque emails, until now. But let me explain how I figured this out! Tomorrow is "take your son/daughter to work day" so I asked Brandon to go. The age limit is 12, he just turned 13, so don't tell anyone. But anyway, a few weeks back there was an email that came through about this and I asked Brandon and he wanted to come to work with me, so I filled out all the paperwork and sent the form through inter-office mail. I wasn't sure who the person was that I was sending it to, but didn't think anything of it, until today! I got an email about everything going on and what the day is going to consist of for the kids and when I got to the lunch part, it was pizza from a place I have not heard of, so I asked Nikki about it, because she's bringing Lexi. She came over to my office and was like, "Rach, that must be your department, because we are having Pizza Hut" ring, ring, ring! OMG It finally clicked, it was for the Burr Ridge, IL (Chicago area) information that I was reading. So the inter-office mail I sent, well, I'm not sure where that went, but I called HR in Burr Ridge and she was like I was wondering, because I didn't recognize your name.. Come on, you could have searched me. But oh well. So I quickly called our HR and got everything straightened out and called Pizza Hut so Brandon and I had something to eat for lunch tomorrow, but I just keep shaking my head. So of course, I had to call to get my email all changed. I was wondering why I never got any emails for the Dubuque facility, but of course, never thought anything of it. I know crazy huh?

One other thing that happened today that really sucked is Tom sent me a text message and said he has to go to 2nd shift starting next week :( I'm really bummed, I wasn't expecting it to be so soon. I know Tom wasn't either. I or we knew it was going to happen, but until the time came we just didn't think about it. One big thing that sucks is if he's working 2nd shift, he's going to miss Chris and Kristi's wedding. He's going to check to see if he has any vacation/personal days, like me I get 2 days, but he doesn't think he does. So for now, it's going to take some getting used to. His hours will be 3 to 11:30.

On a lighter note, today was Brandon's last day of confirmation, thank God, because it's getting way to nice outside to be going to religion. Micayla wanted to drive "her" car, so we took my old car and she drove, she's been doing such a good job. Oh and I love my new Ford Edge but I am going to miss my ole car. I'm glad we are keeping it in the family. She starts drivers ed on May 3rd! We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings, it was so good, then to Sam's. I got a few things for my jewelry/candle party that's happening this Saturday. I think I have about 15 to 20 people coming, so hopefully it will turn out pretty good.
