(no subject)
Had the best Thanksgiving -ever.- Family came from all over to gather and there ended up being seventeen of us here.
Feeling a little bit overwhelmed with Christmas on the way and so much happening! I leave for New Orleans on Wednesday morning for a conference that runs through Saturday morning but we decided that we can't go to New Orleans without partying and so we don't fly out until Sunday morning. We're guessing we're just going to stay up and catch our flight Sunday and sleep when we get home. I do have to say I'm completely stoked about the whole thing.
Work is going --- scarily well. I've been nominated for something my company calls the "Pinnacle Program" - I'll have to take classes every week and whatnot and at the end of it (July) I'll be on the road to being a General Manager - which means having my own arena/airport/spa/hotel &etc.
DO NOT WANT.
No seriously, it's a LOT of money, more then I thought I would ever make BUT I'm not general manager material and I don't say that in my typical coming down on myself way, I say that knowing that I have no want or wish to do it. I would, however, love to head an H.R. department so I'm really hopeful that things can go that way. It would still be really good money and something that wouldn't kill my spirit so to speak.
Of course, everything has started going well at work, of course it has. Now that I've made future plans to leave. I don't dare say anything to anyone though. We've got a "possible lay off" list beginning and thankfully I'm not on it and couldn't afford to be on it now. It's really good experience if nothing else though and should hopefully help me in my quest of future Northern employment.
The car brokt. My poor Germee. She's been good to me but I'm thinking it's about time to put her to pasture. Of course it's just before Christmas and I'm strapped for cash anyway. It means another thing on the credit card that'll need to be paid off once the holidays are done.
I can't help though, stressed and broke, to still absolutely love this season. We've got all the Christmas stuff out, the lights outside done and it's been chilly 'round these parts. So life for the most part is good.
