What a great morning this has been (knock on wood).

My first alarm (remember I have 3) went off, and I woke up right away. 6:30 I was awake. What is wrong with me? I am not the one that is awake that early. Like I was awake awake, not crabby at all. I listened to the radio a bit, got ready. Went to work. Traffic was awesome this morning, it only took me 25 minutes to get to work, which is so impressive, and I didn't leave any earlier then normal. so I went to caribou. Now I am drinking my caribou, and really liking it this morning! Not that I need coffee, but I really wanted it!

Then, I get an email right away in the morning from Heidi. "So what's the plan for next thursday? Are we going out?" YAY! I get to think about what we are doing for her birthday next thursday, and make plans to go out (which I love doing, especially with Heidi). YES! So I am enjoying writing to her.

What a great morning this has been. :)

yes mother! :)

So Heidi just emailed me, letting me know that Beth wants me to write more. So will... yes mother. :)

I am doing well. I am doing really well. Work is going well. They are keeping me busy, which has its pluses and minuses. I would love to be sitting around and doing nothing, like the good ole days. But, when it comes to it, I would much rather me working and keeping busy than not keeping busy. I did like 30 cases today, which is kinda a lot for one day. So I am done for the rest of the day. I have decided that I am going to ask my manager if I can take a different position. I love working with the paperwork team, I don't want to leave. But I was hired to take inbound conservation calls (the reason why I got licensed). So I am thinking about combining the two. take what I am doing right now with paperwork, and do outbound conservation calls. No one is doing it, and it would be a good experience for me. And I would be able to utilize my licenses which I worked so hard to get. (I am now licensed in like 35 states including MN, ND, WI, and IA, oh and AK! YEAH!). It's an idea. And either they can say, no, that's not what you were hired for. or Sure, why not. As long as it's not a pay decrease, I would be all up for it. Anyway. I was working like 50 hours a week for a while, and it was not good for me. I flipped out completely. So, I have decided that I am not going to work so hard anymore. When I am done at 4, I'm going to start going home at 4. Hopefully I can start getting here earlier, too. That would be nice....

anyway! I am meeting up with Jess tonight, my best friend. We are not on the best of terms right now. AKA - when I flipped out earlier, I flipped out on here. Not a big deal, but I did say some really harsh things that I meant, but I didn't mean them the way they came out. So I will have to apologize tonight, which I am not looking forward to, because I don't want to, because I meant to say the things I did. Harsh or not, they needed to be said. Anyway. I am very hesitant about our meeting. I am sure I will blog about it tomorrow.

So TOMORROW - and the weekend. I am so excited. I am going out with my "pronoun" 's friends before they go to the Kenny Chesney concert. Then Saturday, we are going out with his friends again, like all of them. It should be a blast. I am excited for that. I invited Jess out with us, but I don't think she'll make it. I don't think she'll want to. Whatever, fine by me. Anyway. I am going to go. I will write more tomorrow for sure. I am sure it will get to the point when I will want to just stop working and start blogging.

Sad News

One of my good friends from High School, Peter Flitton, is not doing well. He has cancer, and has had it for some time. I have not talked to him much since high school, but he was such a great friend to me and just an all around awesome person.

He was the brother of my good friend. I spent many vacations with him, and much time with him. He was a comic. He made us all laugh so much! His drivers license was the best - he can't take a normal picture. I don't think he ever has, nor that he ever will. His drivers license, he has this white man fro, and this smile that is so funny, you can't help but to laugh when you see it.

OH, and he had this dog, that would make anyone laugh. By the end of it's life, the dog was missing ears, was blind, deaf, and they quit grooming him, so he was this shaggy ugly looking dog. Freon, oh the days of Freon.

So when he does passes, which inevitably will be soon, it will be a very bitter sweet thing. I will miss him. I will miss him. I am sad I didn't get to know him much after high school, but he will always stay in my memories.

this is tough for me, because there was a group of us in High School that were pretty close, and he will be the first one out of the group that will be passing away. This will actually be the first one in all 4 years in high school that will be passing due to something other than suicide or accident. I am very sad.

With a heavy heart, God Bless you Peter, Wherever you are.

Can anyone tell me?

What does Pending Review mean? Pending would mean like "awaiting", right? And review is just that, review. So, when clients call and I tell them that the paperwork is "pending review", that means, according to logic sense, that it has yet to be reviewed, right?

Just wondering. I got hung up on today from someone who didn't understand exactly what "pending review" meant.
