If it’s called Labor Day, why am I not at work?

Posted on August 30, 2008 by laineyd

Sooo, how are you?

I am doing pretty well. It’s the first day of a glorious three day weekend. I left work at 1 PM yesterday and Gene and I went to a late lunch. Yum. Did I mention Gene is home? He arrived about 3 AM on Thursday. He’ll be going back sometime in the next few weeks and to a foreign country in November.

Work is finally calmed down but I know that it’s going to get nuts again before the software conversion. We have meetings on Tuesday and Thursday. If everything goes well, I may only have to process payroll two more times using our shitty current software. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I am also working a little on redesigning the blog. I just spent the last two or three hours perusing istockphotos.com choosing cute little illustrations and now I’m looking at backgrounds. I really hate my current header (the rose just annoys me and the font is sooooooo pedestrian) but I think I will stick with pink, although I do like the idea of red or blue or stripes or dots or chocolate and pink dots.

NOTE: When I talk about redesigning the blog, I mean that I will be hiring someone to put all the cute stuff together. They will know they are done when I stop making gagging noises when I look at it. (I’m paying via PayPal using my secret shopping money so I know I’m not paying much!)

Why, yes, I do know that this all spells a certain amount of doom and that it could all end with me desperatel writing blog posts on post-it notes and sticking them to my monitor.
