Morning, Gents! Made it through Wednesday and on to another day. I spent most of yesterday with another paralegal who was working on a cash closing. Yes, cash closing. Someone bought a 455K vacation home with cash. Must. Be. Nice. At lunch time I needed to run home to get some paperwork I had left, so when I was leaving, I looked at the receptionist and said, "Ok, Ms. Lori, I'm heading home for lunch, I'll be back." Ms. Lori, "You know, we had someone go home for lunch once and not come back." Me, " Well, that won't happen with me, I'll be back." Ms. Lori, "Uh huh We'll see."
It was so funny. I walked back in and she was, "YOU"RE BACK!"
It was a good day overall, still annoyed that I can't just jump in and do my job yet, but I'll get there. Back at it today, gents. Have a good day, and we'll chat later.
TTFN
Morning gents.
Wayyyy too early. For a stupid reason.
I was having a dream that I was training a new guy. He got really angry because I pointed out his errors and we walked outside to have a fight. I woke up with adrenalin pumping away and that was that for sleep. That was at 4am.
I've had a dream or two like that before, so I can sympathize. In fact, my DW had a dream or two like that before where she woke up mad at me. Apparently I did something to her in her dream she didn't like.
I've always said that I don't care what the job is, it always takes about a year before you feel really comfortable at it.
You are correct, especially where you are learning a whole knew job in a new field.
Nice perk, though.
I know, right?!
I agree with your reasons. I also think Covid is part of it. More people are staying home so want to be more comfortable there.
Oh yeah, Covid is definitely a part of it.
Morning all. It is an Epcot day. Hopefully, it will be dry enough to play tennis with dd before we go. The rain & masks have been the only detriments to the trip thus far.
Wearing a mask while working out is one reason I haven't gone back to the gym.
Thanks. I was worried this trip would do us off Disney for good. Most all of the CMs seem happy, or maybe relieved that things are going as smoothly as they are. I've seen a few neck gaiters and some jerk guests, but most are going out of there way, trying to make others more relaxed and comfortable. We've even had trash and towel service everyday, which we usually don't get with DVC. It's really nice to see.
That's awesome that everything is going well.
Sadly, when I return home or get on FB, the silliness returns where some become @$$holes if you don't follow their narrative.
I ignore most of the BS on FB...it's just not worth the time or aggravation.
Enjoy the training and the new job. Sounds like there is a lot involved. I don't know what my benefits are, but they do have a company store for purchases. I'll let you know. Good luck on the AC.
Thanks, I'm enjoying it so far. It also helps that this is a small office intead of an office with a 1000 people in it. Everyone here is so nice and willing to help.
I hate those dreams, unless your adrenalin is pumping from some other dream activity. Still, it's a bummer when you wake up & Shakira has disappeared.
Another heat warning day here, again good to be inside. Wicked thunder and lightning storm last night, pretty sure lightning hit something inside our tree line. There was a loud bang and a bright light but everything seems OK.
I grew up in New Mexico where thunderstorms happened all the time during the summer. And this one thunderstorm blew through and I was inside watching TV. Well, a lightening hit a tree behind in my backyard. Man that scared the bajeezus out of me. Bright light and an instant loud bang. So I understand what you went though, my friend. Man, that's scary when that happens.
Meeting with my president this morning to talk about my updated job description, first time it's been updated in I'm guessing 15 years or more.
15 years? Yeah, I'd say it was time.
Thanks. There will probably always be a part of me that thinks we could have pulled it off and had a great time. I just need to quit the pity party and start planning for next year.
I know it is disappointing, but there's always next year.
So today I reached a goal that I thought was unobtainable. So much so that when I first saw it, I laughed.
Run 80Km in one month.
With one day left in the month, I've run 81km so far.
I'm pretty proud of that, if I do say so myself.
That's awesome! Congratulations!
