Monday Morning...

Ah yes...

Another Monday Morning...

Just a quick check in here. I only want to write for 20 minutes. And I am wondering if that is possible.

It is STILL cold in the ATL... a frosty 18 degrees.

I don't like this at all!

(I may have to go buy a coat. GASP!)

We actually had some snow on Thursday.

Which meant the city was covered in black ice on Friday.

Which meant a 3 day weekend for me! There was no way I was going to be trying to get to work, slippin' and slidin' on black ice. I don't care if I work 4.6 miles from work. ATL is hilly!

I got absolutely nothing done that day. Sigh. Just laid up in the bed 'til 3 in the afternoon.

But my weekend was a little better.

My weekend. So I woke up on Saturday morning and planned my day. The only thing I had to do was catch a finance meeting at 2 in the afternoon.

I got a call at 9:35 a.m. from the Green Eyed Bandit.

"Uh, you gonna make your meeting?"
"What?"
"Meeting's at 10."
"WHAT?"
"10 o' clock!"
"I ain't coming. I thought it was at 2."

She commenced to fussing at me. I agreed to get there VERY late. I got there around 11:30.

Man, I tell you, I was upset with myself. Just so disappointed. I was looking forward to the first meeting of the year. I was gonna sit down for an hour that morning and write out the financial goals I had on my mind. I was gonna iron out my January and February budget.

And here I was, had to show up at a meeting unprepared.

UGH!

I walked in the door kicking rocks. I REFUSED to answer any questions concerning goals and what not.

But you know what? That was a good meeting. It felt good to hear everyone's words.

I am now motivated.

Nothing much else happened this weekend. I didn't do something that I was suppose to do, as it slipped my mind. I'll get it done next weekend.

It all reminds me that it's time for me to start keeping a schedule in my phone or something. Sigh.

I got a little writing done, though. I'd been dabbling around with a couple of chapters of a novella/short story thingy I've been working on. I actually completed and edited three chapters. I am happy about that!!

So that's it for my quick little update. Nothing earth shattering to report.

I hope this week will be a decent week at work. Last week was pretty good. This week we're having some new equipment installed. I told my boss to make sure the people give us some training and set things up right. I'm suppose to set things up, and train, and frankly, that's not going to work out, with me trying to do my other work at the same time. My boss doesn't allot for time to do everything, and I think she has figured out that I stopped stretching myself a long time ago and I don't care to start stretching ever again. So hopefully that will all work out.

I'm about 2 weeks into the food-for-thought bonanza and blowout, and I must tell you, it is giving me much insight into my psyche, and giving me MUCH to think about. MUCH. Thanks for all the comments and such. They have been very helpful and thought provoking.

Keep commenting, because there are prizes up for grabs. Top commentor gets top prize, and for some reason, The Green Eyed Bandit is on some type of rampage to catch that. She has no idea what it is. It might be a sack of cookies. (I don't think she cares. She likes my cookies.)

It's a hell of a way to jump out of lurk status. She'd usually read something and send me an email or call me. She is jumping completely out of character now, lol.

So the food for thoughts are going to continue. I think I have 27 posts left. Sounds like a lot, but I'll blow through that. I think we're about to take a walk over on the dark side. I'm trying to keep it comfortable, but uh... we'll see how it works out.

So, I hope you all brave the cold and have a nice week!

On purpose.
