Ready for the holiday

After a crazy 15 hour day yesterday and a rocky start to the work week with our systems being down all weekend, I'm happy to report that I made it through month-end and got both of my companies closed late last night.  And, I was so elated by the time it was all finished that I couldn't wind down for quite awhile once I did get home...not good on a Monday night when I have to get up early for work the next morning.
But, the great thing about working as hard as we did to close in 1 day and also handling as much as we did while our boss was on vacation last week was that we were rewarded today by getting a few extra hours off and we have a few other perks coming later this week.  It's definitely nice to know that everything was appreciated and I'm even more appreciative to have tomorrow off for the 4th of July.  My plan is to catch up on some much needed sleep and get some much needed workout time in at the gym.

As for the rest of the happenings from today, JP labeled me the "Voice of Reason" at work.  I'm assuming that's a good thing as I seem to be the one always holding some middle ground in our Sales and Logistics group. I'm also assuming that most of my close friends that have known me for any length of time would deny that fact.  Somehow I'm feeling the words "worry wort," "demanding," "high maintenance," and "majorly Type A" would be their replacement labels for me.

And because I'm still so super excited, the countdown rolls on -- 14 days from today, I get the keys to my new place!  Woo woo!!

Enjoy your middle of the week holiday!!
