Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I have to say under the circumstances, it turned out to be a very nice day. My aunt and her boyfriend ended up doing the whole Thankgiving dinner thing since my Grandma wasn't too gung-ho for cooking this year with the loss of my Grandpa and for the most part I think we tried to make the best of the day. Dinner was excellent and now I have to work off all of the extra calories I packed in that day.
Anyway, I had to work the day after Thanksgiving, which really wasn't as bad as everyone else made it out to be. I had a ton of work to catch up on anyway so it was nice to be able to go in at least for a few hours without any major interruptions since a lot of the companies we do business with were off. I did have one customer who wasn't very happy with me and tried to call my boss because he thought I was being unreasonable, but my boss gave him the exact same answer that I did. That'll teach him...don't try to mess with me! I can be quite the bitch and he found that out!
Dealing with our customers is a new thing for me at my current job. Our general manager at another office retired and he was the one who dealt with them, well rather than replacing him my boss and I have taken over all of his duties and I am now in charge of accounts receivables as well as numerous other things. It is taking some time to get use to everything especially since I now have to balance everything I was doing and this new stuff. Even with the holiday last week I put in about 40 hours because of the deadlines that I have to meet.
I did find some time for fun though. I went out with my friends from work on Tuesday and Friday night and then Mom and I went shopping for Christmas yesterday. First time in a few weeks that I have gotten to see my mom for any length of time. We hit the mall and a few other stores to pick up a few Christmas presents and had lunch together. Most of the time though was spent browsing and really I have to say, it wasn't that bad out yesterday. I would have thought that the stores would have been busier than they were, but I guess it's still early in the season. I wanted to be on the ball this year. Last year, I waited until the weekend before Christmas to even start my shopping because I was focused on taking my finals and getting decent grades in all of my classes. Amazing what a difference a year makes!
