Another week come and gone and I don't have a whole lot to show for it. It seems like the days just keep flying by. Last Friday I had month-end close at work and it was the end of the 3rd quarter -- everything went smooth but I still had to work for about 4 hours on Saturday to work on billing and accounting procedures for our Operations department. Really...it wasn't that big of a deal but working the extra hours really cuts into the time I have for other errands and projects I should be working on in my personal life, but I felt it was my duty after the meeting I had with my boss on Friday afternoon.
Right before the end of the day, my boss called me into his office and let me know that he and the President of the company were working on my annual review and that if I had any concerns beforehand to bring them to his attention, so I explained a little bit about the complications involved with my job. He agreed with the items I mentioned and told me that I was doing a great job and to keep pushing because things were moving in the right direction and that I should be very happy with the results of my hard work. I am very excited to meet with both my boss and the President of the company and I hope they see that I'm in it for the long haul.
As for Sunday...I went on a good ol' fashioned road trip with the fam down to Sikeston. We went to the home of the throwed roll, Lambert's. The food was absolutely delicious and it was a nice drive throughout Southern Missouri. Sikeston is close to C-town so I decided to show my mom, step-dad and grandma the terminal for the company I work for. Also, I didn't want them to think that I was lying all of the times I told them I was going out of town for business. (That's a joke people! They know it was all business related....even with the trips to the drive-thru liquor store!) I actually drove them through C-town and pointed out the drive-thru liquor store and the Comfort Inn (our choice of hotels!) to them as well. I know they weren't too excited about it, but even though I dreaded going down to C-town last December, it brings back a lot of memories to me that I will always cherish!
Anyway, on the way home we stopped in Cape but I missed seeing Josh. Not sure what he was up to for the weekend and I was really hoping that he would be free to go with us to Lambert's but it just didn't work out. Oh well, I guess if we decide to take another road trip, I should plan everything out a little ahead of time, so perhaps we will be able to see one another. I'm thinking about a visit to a winery....I haven't been to one since before I turned 21 and that was just no fun!
Other than that, I've just been home reading after extremely long days at work. I read a book on General Ulysses S. Grant this past week and I must say it enhanced my appreciation for him. St. Louis is known for having Grant's Farm but I really didn't understand why...and now I do. I love being an intellectual now that it's not required for school. Plus, I can show off with all of the little tidbits of information...I'm sure everyone is impressed!!! HA!
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going back into work for a few hours in the morning then trying to take care of every other thing I've put off the last few months in the rest of the time I have off from work....should be fun!
