The sangria was flowing, the food was deeee-lish....We had so much fun!And as quickly as the evening beganjazzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272175.post-1138590352747261262006-01-29T21:58:00.000-05:002006-01-29T22:05:52.750-05:00Good Times...Good weekend! Lots of hangin, lots of relaxin... I don't really want to go to work tomorrow, because I know that it's going to be a really busy week.The next few weeks are going to really suck... just by the fact that it's going to be really exhausting. But once I get through those weeks, my work-life will normalize. I am looking forward to some sense of normalcy.jazzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272175.post-1138422745145907472006-01-27T23:16:00.000-05:002006-01-27T23:32:25.163-05:00Happy Birthday.I was not looking forward to my birthday this year... at all. Not because I fear getting older. I mean, that's kinda irrational. 'Cause, well, you can't stop it. I wasn't looking forward to it because I felt like it was going to be a non-event. I had to go to Chicago for work the night of my birthday... so no birthday night celebrations.

I got my raise and bonus today and was, actually, nicely surprised. Seriously, I was expecting nothing, based on the convo that I had with my boss last week. I can tell that they fought for me, because if they hadn't, I probably would have ended up with nothing.
