“Please Review and Get Back to Me”

I received an email at work today.  It had a spreadsheet attached that had a huge file size.  I figured it just had some nice graphs or whatnot in it.  I proceed to read the email and come to find that I am being asked to review the data and get back to the sender.  The sender wants to know if it’s okay to delete all of these records from a table that our system uses on a regular basis to make sure good data is being entered on loads in our system.  Any guesses as to how many records were in the spreadsheet?

11,236!!!!!

There is no way that I would be able to review all of those records and say with any sort of certainty that it was okay to delete them.  Oh well.  I skimmed some today and they all appear to be old customer entries.  This will be interesting…

Bring a Guest?

One of the teams at work is having a V-Day Potluck. The sign up sheet is below. At first glance it appears that Maru could possibly be bringing a guest to this event. Supposedly, that is the name of some sort of Panamanian dish. Not sure about that, but it definitely got a laugh out of us this afternoon (especially my friend Jenie).

What $2.50 Will Buy Me

Sometimes my job has the best perks.  Just look at this HUGE bag of sugar I got for $2.50 at the cargo store!  Crazy, right?  Of course, I’m not going to use this myself. This is practically a year’s supply.  Anyone need some sugar?

My Most Favorite Thing

This morning I got up a little early to do my most favorite thing… iron.  I really do hate that chore.  I think my hatred is a result of the fact that I am pretty bad at it.  Needless to say, I survived and it’s all done.  Getting up a bit earlier this morning was not a waste of precious sleep time though.  I have a meeting at work today at 9 that I can’t afford to be late for.  Now I know I’ll have plenty of time to get ready and get there on time.

On another note, I’m really loving this new blog.  There are so many options when it comes to customizing, posting, etc.  Keep your eyes open for more interesting things to come (once I get the hang of it).

Lunchtime Quickie

I’m at lunch sitting outside of Starbucks so I can use my T-Mobile HotSpot subscription.  I’ve spent a majority of my hour updating my posts with categories and also fixing the YouTube issues.  It is taking a while but will be worth it.

Anyway, today has been a typical Monday with not much going on at the office.  I’m waiting to hear back on the training documentation that I turned in on Friday.  I really would like to get feedback from the EDI Coordinator before I turn it in to be used in the training classes.  Nothing so far, but maybe she’s busy?

I really should be getting back.  I have a few things I need to finish up before I can leave today.  Hopefully I can peace out a bit early.  I want to get my haircut and getting in around 5pm usually means there will be no wait.  Fingers crossed! 

A Farewell

Tonight was the goodbye party for my boss.

Let me just say it was very interesting. The festivities started off early at about 4pm today. We went to Margaritaville for some good times. The evening consisted of beer, tequila, balloon animals, and plenty of jokes.

I really will miss my boss. He’s super cool and chill about everything. I’m really kind of scared about who may be replacing him. Life at work will be interesting over the next few weeks. I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated.

From My Phone

I’m sitting at work semi bored and I wanted to blog. This means I have to do it from my phone. This means the post will be short. It’s so tedious.

Anyway, short update. Work is boring and slow at the moment. Hopefully things will pick up soon.

I had an awesome weekend with my cousin. I do miss him when he’s so far away. That’ll be even worse in the new year with him studying abroad in Melbourne and not returning until July. I’m so glad IM exists.

In other news, I had one of the best evenings out in a long time last night. It’s put me in a great mood on this normal Wednesday. Hmm… I am happy.

Well, my fingers hate me now. It’s time for lunch anyway. More soon.

My Weekly Update??

Why can’t I remember to blog more often? I’m kind of lazy about it. I’ve tried to make more of an effort. I think I’m worried that I won’t have anything interesting to say. Is it actually necessary to have something interesting to say on a personal blog site?

Ok, so here’s what’s up recently. This week of work was kind of hellish, many things happened. My boss put in his 2 weeks notice, totally unexpected. I had lots of small issues that came up during the week. It was kind of annoying and it made the week go by sort of slowly. Oh well, it’s over now and this upcoming week will probably be good. There will be a lot of people on vacation which means my life will be a bit less hectic. We have a going away event for my boss on Thursday, which should be interesting.

I’ve found myself watching less and less TV recently. I’m not sure why that is. Maybe it’s because most of the shows I watch are going into reruns for who knows how long. I’m also finding myself spending more time reading and doing things around the house that I would normally put off until the weekend. It’s a good thing, right?

This weekend, my cousin is in town. We’re doing the hang out thing and some shopping. A pretty relaxing weekend actually. It’s interesting how much you can miss talking and visiting with someone. I’ve been reflecting on that more recently. Maybe it has to do with the time of year? Everything that’s been going on the past few months of this year has definitely had an impact on me. I’ve started learning more about who Daniel is.

Ok, we’re done with all this. I will try, I swear, to be more of a constant blogger. Check out my picture blog though, it’s update more often and, like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Major Neighbor Update and More…

So! Guess who was evicted by the cops today? That would be my neighbor! Christmas has come early for me! Thank goodness!! No more crazy bass for me. I’m so happy, you have no idea.

This week is semi busy, which is strange given that it’s a holiday week. Work is kind of slow but also hectic. I know, it makes no sense but that’s how it is. I go into work, expecting to get out early and I end up staying until at least 5 if not just a bit longer.

Ok, so let’s see what else…

Oh, my stupid dryer is broken so that sucks. Now I have to do laundry at my mom’s house. I guess it’s better than going to the laundromat but still inconvenient. Hopefully it’ll be all fixed and ready to go next week.

Also, given that this weekend is the first weekend after Thanksgiving, I have to put out my decorations. If I want to do that, I need to clean my house. So, it’s time for fall cleaning (which I’m not looking forward to) and then setup of all my stuff. I don’t really have all that but it does seem like a lot when you’re hauling it all upstairs.

Ok, we’re done for now. I think I will post some items about movies I’ve seen recently. Until then…
