Holy shit! I'm actually getting the loan processing job! Jim talked to me about it on Friday. He's going to demote Barb from underwriting back to post closing/closing packages, so that will give me time to do processing, and he's rehiring Leslie to take over for Barb in underwriting. She is going to be so pissed, but she was always better at post ( Read more... )

Okay, so my mom took some of my old clothes out to this store yesterday and I made $66 on them! Hell yes! Much better than trying to yard sale them. (Which I'm doing this Saturday too). And Brandon scored free 2nd row seats to the Braves game tonight! So that means I have spending money and a free ride. Isn't it nice when things actually work out? ( Read more... )

Can I just first say how utterly ANNOYING it is to be the only girl in the office right now out of 5 and have to answer the phone EVERY time it rings? It's really hard to get anything done at this rate, so I've pretty much given up. Barb is sick, Trish doesn't work on Fridays, Rosemary's at a therapist appointment, and Tracy's...somewhere. Who ( Read more... )

My dad's 51st birthday is today, so we're taking him to Longhorn for supper. I think I cheered him up a bit because I actually called him to wish him happy birthday this morning. Sometimes I can be remiss in doing things like that. My mom & Brandon & I chipped in and bought him a new grill, which I can't wait for him to grill some steaks on. Mmmmm ( Read more... )

Okay, so I just had the best lunch EVER from Zaxby's. Their cajun chicken club is the best sandwich. I could probably eat another whole sandwich and fries if I had it. I'm feeling much better in terms of the morning sickness thing, but now I have a cold. So in addition to being cold like I have been for the past 3 weeks, I now have fever chills. ( Read more... )

I sprained my ankle. Way to go, Rachel. I guess it wasn't the smartest thing in the world to try to play badminton in platform shoes while pregnant. I turned my ankle over and thought I was going to die. It hurt initially, then kind of got better, then got REALLY bad last night, so Brandon took me to the emergency room at nearly midnight. They x- ( Read more... )

NOTE TO SELF: When postage machine is not printing correctly, do NOT take out print cartridge and shake it. You WILL cause much red ink to go flying everywhere and stain the white walls and everything else around you. That is all.

Can't wait to see what Jim says about this one. Go me...

Nothing like waiting till the last minute. That's the phrase I use at least 20 times a day when my boss is concerned. Like today, he, Rosemary, and Trish had a sales meeting in Blue Ridge at Appalachian Community Bank at 12 noon. Okay, he's known about this since last week, so what does he do? He waits until yesterday afternoon to have Tracy call ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm taking a cold. Ugh. Not again ( Read more... )

My mom & dad gave us their couch yesterday, because they bought matching recliners (NO!!!). So anyway, we decided to put it facing the TV instead of against the window like our other couch was, and Maytag is devastated. He just walks around and around it and has resorted to lying in the floor. He wants to lay by the window so bad! Poor thing. So I ( Read more... )
