One more day of work and we’re on our way to sunny<\/strike> Hurricane-threatened Florida! It looks like Hurricane Wilma is threatening our wedding, but we won’t know for sure until Friday or Saturday. I’m not so worried about the wedding as our officiant said we could reschedule to Tuesday the 25th (our originally chosen date, coincidentally), but I am worried about what we’re going to do regarding the hotel on the Gulf we have booked for two nights. The booking is fully non-refundable and since we were staying there for the wedding night, we chose a nice $200\/night place. Eeek! I guess losing $400 is nothing compared to putting ourselves in harm’s way, but it still kinda sucks.<\/p>\n
Speaking of wedding stuff, Joe and I each received a wedding gift from people we work with today. In fact, people had been asking Joe if we were registered anywhere, but we didn’t bother since we weren’t having a big wedding and all that. It didn’t seem right to me to expect gifts. Anyway, Joe’s Director, who also used to be my former boss (NOT the boss from hell, though) gave us a very generous check. I was rather shocked. I know she knows us both, but we aren’t very close, so I was surprised.<\/p>\n
Then a guy I work with bought me this awesome photography book<\/a>. It was rather funny because I was at my desk when he handed it to me. He mentioned how he thought about buying me some books that he likes to read but he didn’t think I’d like them (he’s correct because he likes reading about world history). But the funny thing was how he had put the receipt in the book and said if I didn’t like the book I could take it back for something else. Then he said he had thought about writing something inside the book, but didn’t want to in case I took it back. I handed him back the book and told him to go ahead and write what he wanted and to take the receipt because I had no intentions of returning the book. I didn’t even look at the receipt either; it just didn’t seem right. It just floored me how thoughtful he is. I think he may have felt a little guilty because he had been talking about baking me a nice wedding cake (he used to be a professional pastry chef) but he hasn’t had time as his last day with the company is Friday. He started with us in May, but he found a better job closer to home. He is a very nice guy, and while I often teased him and called him a dork, it was always in fun. He was the only guy in our department so we’ll be back to all women.<\/p>\n Oh that reminds me. After over a year of several of us begging and pleading, not to mention more than a few Administrative Assistants being hired and then leaving, the company has decided to offer someone I refer to as Mrs. Wonderful her old job back and she said yes! I can’t believe it! I am so happy because the filing system has been a disaster ever since she left. Her first day is Monday so I won’t seeing her until I get back but I am so excited!<\/p>\n I should get to bed now. Unlike Joe, I don’t have tomorrow off. Things are super hectic at work and tomorrow is going to be another crazy day. Monday I worked from 7-4:30 with no breaks or lunch!!! I have to tie up some loose ends and show my coworkers some of what I do so things don’t get behind while I am gone. I so need this vacation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One more day of work and we’re on our way to sunny Hurricane-threatened Florida!
