I had Friday off, due to the office being shut down and moved. Thursday afternoon was hectic, even for me here remotely. The server was being shut down at 5pm so everyone was trying to get last minute emails, orders, etc done. I had one of our employees call me to ask if there was time to get a sample order in (about 4pm). I said sure. Got it done and 15 minutes later she calls back and says now the customer wants to change the items, she will have to get me info to revise it. I hung about my desk, waiting. They shut down the server at 5:30 (6:30) my time, but she wasn't able to get it to me in time. Not the end of the world by any means, but I'm usually done working at 4:30 my time so it was an extra 2 hours and I finally got to start dinner at 6:30. I just made us a quick meal of scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. That morning I had decided to skip book club that night due to the weather and roads. Glad I did, because I wouldn't have been able to make it anyway.
FIL called the other night. He got another car....of course it was the one SIL wanted him to get. He seems happy with it. Its the same kind of car he had before, just two years newer, so at least it's a car he's very familiar with driving.
DD's BF texted DH and I yesterday. A picture of the engagement ring he just picked up! So pretty. She will love it. About 10 more days until he proposes to her :)
It's been a pretty boring weekend. We were going to go meet with the cabinet lady again on Friday, but she canceled on us. Then we thought about taking a drive to this waterfall place (probably a 1 1/2-2 hour drive) but the road conditions up there looked bad and icy. So, we've just been home all weekend pretty much doing nothing. Today we are supposed to get about 8 inches of snow. I doubt that will happen. The weather reports are usually wrong.
I at least can get back into my work emails. They had the server hooked back up by Friday afternoon. But my workstation is not hooked up, so I can't access my desktop. We have an app we use at work called Slack. A few pictures were sent by management of the move on Friday. But no one else has seen the new office. They all get a big "reveal" Monday morning. One photo was a picture of boxes and boxes of monitors stacked against a wall. At least 50 boxes that I could see.
I also know now why boss asked everyone for favorite things awhile back. A box of goodies showed up at my house on Friday. Our company changed it's logo and it was a bunch of stuff with the new logo on it. Two coffee mugs, an insulated water bottle, a knit winter hat (with warm fleece lining), a baseball cap and some of my favorite candies. I think everyone will get stuff picked out geared toward what they like. I'm sure she picked out the hat since I live in zero degrees, haha. And the water bottle will be good for our hikes.
I'm making banana bread today and waiting for the snow.
No chocolate? You did not mention chocolate? Now, I want banana bread.
ReplyDeleteit was miniature Reese's :)
DeleteA weekend with no plans sounds like an awesome weekend! We got hit with round #2 of snow. We've had a good 10 inches since Friday.
ReplyDeletewe ended up with about 6 inches in about 2 hours last night
DeleteIt is really nice to get a little special gift box.
ReplyDeleteNo snow here, but it is cooler than the 80's again!
we might see 80's in June haha!
DeleteI was just thinking that perhaps when your boss asked about your likes, you should have said lots and lots of cash! Lol
ReplyDeleteHAHA! she was smart....she just had categories, that didn't include cash ;)
