Good things happen and I celebrate... by laying on the couch all night O_o
Yep that subject line says it all.
I didn't sleep well last night. I think Dan has allergies... and he rolled onto his back about the same time I woke myself up. Well let me tell you there is no going back to sleep at that point at least not till you get him to flip over... and let me tell you that is work. The man sleeps like the dead.
So this morning... when I woke up I was pretty tired and pretty nauesous... but it wasn't so terrible I couldn't make it to work. So I did.
All the good things happened at work today. Which let me tell you is pretty weird. So I got to work at the typical 7:45am. I got everything all started up computer taking a long time to do so. So at about 8am I finally got into my email. There is was the dreaded email from the boss... with a subject tag "Request". Well I opened all the junk first, dreading opening that... as I figured on a monday morning it couldn't be good. So I opened it and it read....
"Please sumbit to me your write up for your promotion from GS5 to GS7."
FAINT!!!!
Seriously faint!!! I was so excited. I ran over and told Patti.. knowing very well I had to only add a few things to my previous write up.. you know the one I have redone a few times now and been shot down. This time I have faith. Third time has to be the charm. I didn't even ask this time... and she is going to try push it past the big boss... that 5 - 7 means an extra $200 a paycheck. That would be a lifesaver *not that Dan won't have to get a job anyways* but yeah... it would mean a possibility of getting a house in the future... I could use that to save money for the first time in a very very long time.
So I went in to ask her if she wanted paper or electronic copy of that. I then proceeded to ask her a bunch of other questions. I am no longer doing 3 special assignments, I am only doing 2. As soon as I pass my audit I will be allowed to apply for an alternative work schedule and go to 4- 10 hour days. And my audit will have to be done by July... as my auditor is moving out of the state. That was the only downfall... I get stuck with the 100% fail rate auditor... but since I failed once maybe she won't count me in the need to fail category. I do have an on-site with my regular supervisor scheduled for Wednesday next week. That will be fun.. but should be better than the first time. I know what she is looking for now.
But after all the excitement at work... that lost sleep got to me. I got home, watered the seeds, and let out the cat. I have been half asleep on the couch ever since. I figured I must have had a vertigo attack this morning at some point... they leave me drained most of the day... and all the excitement at work I probably kept going only until there was no more excitement...
Though I shouldn't say that. Another person announced they are pregnant and another said theirs is going to be a girl. *Sighs* I hope for that promotion... it makes the dream of announcing that for Dan and I a little closer in the future than it has been lately. B & C are house hunting... that is my current goal. To save enough and pay enough of my other debt off to be able to look at and actually hope for a house. If they can, I don't see why I can't. The differences between us.... I have a car payment and DAn has no job. Though they have 2 kids. I honestly don't know how they manage... it amazes and boggles my mind... but hopefully soon, I will have a place to call mine. To plant whatever I want in the yard... deck out at least 1 bathroom in frogs and fish, and paint the walls bright colors with funky wallpaper. That is currently my dream... Then a few kids to fill bedrooms later... :)
Since it is 10pm I think I will go sleep and dream of a house, puppy, wings, and kids...
