A couple of weeks ago I actually had the gaul to say life was the same every day. What was I thinking? I certainly hope I never grow so complacent as to tempt fate again...
My manager of the last four years is retiring this Friday. This saddens me greatly as she is a wonderful woman and I hate to see her go, but I am happy for her as well because she will get to move back to her home state and be with her family. I have been charged with the task of acquiring her retirement gift from my team. This leads me to be entirely frustrated with humanity.... a team of 19 people only managed to collect 25 dollars for a gift. Yet, the same team can come up with over 40 when they have the prospect of buying bagels. Argh! where are people's priorities?
Likewise for said retirement we are having a floor wide potluck. I have also been tasked with baking the cake. I really need to learn how to pronounce that two letter word beginning with n and ending in o. And so it goes.
Then there is the run of the mill chiropractor appointment, monthly meeting, the neighbor being out of town for a week and needing a dog sitter. Not forgetting I leave for the northwest in a week and I haven't even started chapter 13 of RYA.
