Why I Love My Job

It's mostly because of my c-workers. I've been super blessed to have some amazing co-workers. We got some newbies at the beginning of the year, and while that can always be a little scary getting new people and seeing how they fit in, but Cole and Kim fit in. We all get along, and have a great time.

If you remember last year around this time, we did {this} for our boss. Yesterday was his birthday, so we wanted to do something to his office as a 'prank' since he took the day off. On the credenza behind his desk he has pictures of his family and individual pictures of his kids. There are six kids, and six employees, so we facebook stalked each other and printed off pictures from our facebook pages to replace the pictures of his kids. We wondered how long it would take him to notice.

This morning at our meeting, he had received a candy bouquet that was put on his desk, so he picked it up and moved it right in front of the pictures. We looked at each other in anticipation of his reaction. He didn't even notice. He turned right back around and we all started laughing. It wasn't until after the meeting and Cole and Caleb had gone home that we heard him start laughing, He got a good kick out of it, and it was fun for us to do.

We really have a great time, and I love my co-workers. They are the absolute best!

And this happened yesterday. One of the guys I did a loan for brought in some pizza to say thanks for doing a great job. It was awesome. People are so nice. It's great to feel appreciated!

• Don't tell anyone, but I'm kind of nervous for tomorrow. Believe it or not, it will be the first time I have to be at the hospital for more than just a routine appointment. #rightheartcatheterization
• I think I wrote this last time, but I'm exhausted...physically, mentally, emotionally.
• I still haven't touched my scrapbook supplies, well, except to move them. #ireallyneedto #whatiswrongwithme

I Got Nothing...

Once upon a time life was somewhat exciting, and by somewhat I mean slightly more than the non-existent excitement currently happening at this time.

I mean, seriously. I can watch 2-3 episodes of Psych, and not blink an eye. It's a complete waste of time, but I can't help it. Nothing else seems to excite me. I even started the series over. That's how terrible this addiction is. 

Work seems to go by without me noticing as well. I know that I am extremely busy (seriously, I have at least 50 loans in my que, even though maybe 10 of them have actually been completed.) It's kind of insane. I just go to work and kind of go through the motions and before I know it, it's time to go home and I can't remember anything I did. Until I get home and try to sleep and then I remember every little thing I did or forgot to do. It's sad. But I like it, and I think I'm doing okay with it. I received an email the other day from our corporate sales dude telling me I'm doing well. That's always awesome to hear.

Seriously, I can't even come up with any other clever things to write. Not even kidding. This is all I've got.

• I love days off in the middle of the week. It should happen more often!
• My thought process goes like this: should I be productive or watch three episodes of Psych? I'm sure you can guess what usually wins...
• Summer is almost over, and that's a major bummer.

More July

Well, the time since my last post seems to have flown by, without really doing a whole lot. We got or car fixed, luckily, and it only cost about $300, so that could have definitely been worse.

I had a few appointments that week that I'll post about over on my Scleroderma blog. My stomach has been feeling better, so that's been nice toi not have to worry about that as much.

Thursday the 10th we had our Relief Society activity. We did a salad/dessert recipe exchange, and had a decent turnout. Anything more than Melanie and me is usually a success. We had some really yummy desserts and salads, and had some great conversation. One of these days we will get a massive turnout, and we won't know what to do with it.

 
We headed up to Star Valley again just for a relaxing weekend. Like normal, the weather was wonderful, and we had a good relaxing time.

It has been so dang hot lately. It's so not fun! I am definitely not a fan of the heat. I think I'd much rathere have numb fingers and toes than sweaty armpits. Luckily we'lve found some ways to cool down, in the form of Coldstone ice cream, and Sonic slushies. The best part of hot summer days.

A few of my recent obsessions: My new Samsung Note 8.0 that I got for my birthday.

This Special K cereal.

Psych! I'm almost done with all the seasons on Netflix, and I'm really sad. I love comedies.

Paper scrapbooking supplies. I've become a serious hoarder!

Work has been good. Super busy when it comes to loans. I think right now I have at least 10 loans that I've contacted people about and am waiting to hear back, and that's not mentioning the other 10 that are just sitting there. It's good though. It keeps me busy. It's only slightly frustrating when you have to wait for stuff, then they want the loans done right away. Kind of gives me a slight heart attack because I don't want to put off my other duties, but I kind of have to. I really do enjoy the loans. Just been struggling a bit with reality lately. At least we got to try Fizz 'N Fryz last Friday. I just had this drink, but it was really yummy, and I can't wait to try their fries.

And just some summertime happiness from the last couple of days.

Sorry if you follow me on instagram, and are re-seeing all these pictures. I just really don't have much of an exciting life!
