AW: Today was a good day!

dwest2201

Today was good for multiple reasons:

1) It was my first day at the new job and it went great.  I'm looking forward to learning lots of new things about women's sexual health and finding some things to spend my employee discount on!  Oh and they have an awesome Kreuig with green and black tea and 2 kinds of hot chocolate (reg and dark)!  I am not a coffee drinker, so that excites me.  A tour of the other buidling (including the fitness center w/ free personal trainer still to come)!

2) I got my son back after a long 4 days without him, we had a fun night and even unlocked a new race on Mario Kart for Wii! 

3) BF's sister just had her baby, the sex was a surprise and it is a big healthy boy!

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

That's super awesome! Your new job sounds great, and yay for seeing your son!

I'm KUI so life is good. FI made us drinks that are basically all alcohol and are very tasty. We just played two games of Skip-Bo and I won the second one, which is an extreme accomplishment because he always wins.

That's awesome! Sounds like you had a great day!!

FI got a company car so we had an extra car that we obviously don't need. We were worried that we wouldn't get what we owed on it but we ended up getting $1500 more than we owed on it. Score!

Liv, I am working for a woman owned company that sells sensual and sexual items, they are huge supporters of women's sexual health and breast cancer awareness and research as well.  They hire mostly women and are big on empowering women, it's pretty sweet.  I'm super excited about it all!

So far I had the green tea (good and good for ya!) and the dark hot chocolate (pretty good, nothing to brag about really, but dark chocolate is better than regular).

BF's nephew is named Nathan.  We can't wait to see him!

B SUPER excited to see me and about the new level on MK!  I just introduced him to the Wii liek 2 weeks ago and he went from horrible (like driving the wrong direction) to able to get 5th-7th place with no help already. 

As for pics, I've posted a pic at some point, but we must not be friends on FB (LIV, WHY U NO FRIEND ME?!)...I post pics of him on there often.  Here is one of us from a couple weeks ago that we had BF snap of us for school when he was the "star of the week". 



Mookow, Yay for yummy drinks and for wininng a game of Skip-Bo!  I am pretty sure that I've never won that game!

Those hot chocolates should be illegal. I go through almost 2 boxes a week. Thank god for Amzon auto delivery.

They have about 30 varieties of coffee as well as the teas and hot chocolates, plus water and crystal light too...all free!  If I were a coffee drinker I'd be in love, but I'm in serious like as is! :)

[QUOTE]He is so cute, I lubs him! Look at his little boots! We ARE friends on FB but I don't understand the new timeline bullshit and I don't know how to look up everyone I want to. It basically shows me the same 3 people I don't give a crap about every day, so I don't usually check. I will try to remedy that.

Thanks for the compliments on the kiddo! :)

I thought we were...I was like hmmm..maybe I'm crazy and we're not (sad face).  I also despise the timeline.  I keep meaning to subscribe/unsubscribe to people, but jeez with over 500 people I've only made it to the C's so far!

My day was great I had no work.  Congrats on the boy.  So glad to hear you like your new job.

Sounds like an awesome day!!

My day was alright.  I woke up on the floor of my friend's appartment today and I hate sleeping on the floor so that kind of sucked.  But my voice lesson was alright.  And I should be getting ready for school tomorrow but I am not.  I'm being lazy...

bsidebella

I'm happy you like your new job, dwest! It sounds really interesting. Do they have any offices in NY/NJ? Also, congrats on being an auntie! I won't share my day, I've depressed you all enough already.

dwest2201

Danser, Thanks.  I imagine having the day off was nice for you (and everyone else who had it off).  For me, having been off for the last 6 weeks I was ready to get back to work!

Ray, I despise sleeping on the floor...glad that your lesson went well

Bside, thanks honey. I just saw your thread.  That super stinks FI's upset and that they misled him.  Hopefully he will be able to stick it out until he can transfer to his old branch or another branch.  Banks typically have good benefits and hours which is a big plus...not to mentioned tuition reimbursement!

elannis

Sounds like a lot of happy!! : ) Congratulations on the baby and the race with your son! : ) Also sounds like an awesome start to a new job!! Congrats!!
