Roller Coaster Day

Today was crazy. I went into work with the notion of being productive. I had no idea how productive I needed to be though!

I was intending to send out some awards today for a contest we had at work since they are being announced tomorrow, but then I was reminded there are two sets of letters that have to be created for this event. Totally spaced on that. I am moronic. So all morning I am thinking I am gonna get canned for being an idiot... then I got called into a meeting with two of the big bosses. I was like oh snap. But then I found out it was with everyone. Phew.

We were told that to avoid layoffs in the near future, we are all to take a week long furlough (luckily it can be in chunks) - aka time off without pay. My immediate reaction was a huge smile and a loud "REALLY?" Totally the wrong reaction for the somber tone this was being relayed to us in. Oopsy.

I was wrong about the contest luckily too - didn't hafta be sent out today, PHEW! Tomorrow will be busy doing that but that is ok...

It was like a total me being wrong day.But it ended up being decent. :0)

And YAY DAYS OFF! I am soooo very happy about this, although the lack of pay will be felt. I guess it's good that I am believing I am wealthy right now, because in all reality, as I sit here on my couch (awaiting a new one) with my internet, cable, heat, R and the boys - I do feel wealthy... And I keep trying to remind myself that soon enough the debt will be gone...

I wish I could bottle this feeling up. I really do.

I shall leave you all with happy Wednesday people!!!
