The good:
Monday:
Finally got Matthew's truck fixed.
That means I don't have to get up at 4AM on the days that I have to go in at 10:00AM and stay until 6:30PM and he doesn't have to work from 6:00AM until 7:00PM when I can finally come pick it up. We are also saving $250 on a fine from the NC DMV because we didn't get it inspected when it was due because it wasn't working. But, all appears to be working just fine now and it only cost us $350.00 and we didn't have to miss any work to get it done.
Tuesday:
IT at work got my database working on my boss' computer. Apparently, my switch syntax in my shortcut target was backwards. Hopefully, next time I'm asked to do one, I'll get it right the first time.
I also got approved for a vacation day on Friday. Dunno if we'll go anywhere but a day off work is a good day :P
The bad:
Monday and Tuesday:
I have a feeling this is going to be a lazy week with the way things are going so far. I'm trying to keep positive and make myself stay on track as much as I can. I'm still eating fairly healthily and I'm still down to one soda a day.
Tuesday:
I apparently lost a line in my Excel spreadsheet that I keep my Leave of Absence information in at work. Just as my boss was hanging up with someone who's been on leave for a while, I realized that this person was due back to work yesterday or she would be terminated. (Our company only allows you to take 12 weeks of leave time in any rolling 12-month period (which is what is protected by the government). If you take more you are terminated but eligible for rehire in 12 months). My boss hung up the phone and walked away before I could tell her but we got it all straightened out in the end. I felt like a big idiot. I don't normally lose track of things like that.
The funny:
Here are a few excerpts from my day at work Tuesday:
A lady came up to me to find out about her wage increase. She had her last paystub from 2007 with a payrate of 13.30/hour and her latest paystub with a payrate of 13.90/hour. (The company I work for gives 0.60 increases every six months for hourly employees). I asked her what her question was.
H: I didn't get the right amount. I should be at like 14.20.
M: It...looks fine to me.
H: No, I only got 0.30.
M: *boggles* You got 0.60. *points to her Excel file*
H: No, it's 0.30 *starts getting louder*
M: 13.30 + 0.30 = 13. 60...13.30+0.60 = 13.90...13.30+0.90 = 14.20
H: *Thanks me, apologizes, and walks away*
About an hour later, a gentleman came up to me to ask me a question about his safety glasses (all employees that go out on the manufacturing floor have to be wearing approved safety glasses. If you have a prescription for eyeglasses, the company will pay a portion for prescription safety glasses once per year or so).
H: Who do I see to get the slip for prescription glasses?
M: Safety, they are...*gets cut off*
H: No, I mean...*points to his safety glasses complete with side shields*
M: You mean safety glasses?
H: Yes.
M: Safety.
People were crazy like this today but everyone was pleasant and cheerful yesterday...even the ones who came up to get their uniforms.
