YES!! Big victory, perfect motivation for the long weekend. Phew, I am so pleased with that weight loss. Last night was a girl's night out for me. So I skipped dinner and my grapefruit and allowed myself ONE glass of red wine. Of course, I had 5 glasses of water and two glasses of Truvia-sweetened iced tea as well. It should have been hard, but it really wasn't. We went to La Tasca in Alexandria, a wonderful smelling tapas place. My friends ordered a couple of dishes including buttered shrimp, creamed spinach salmon, and grilled eggplant stuffed with Roma tomatoes and goat cheese. I still didn't even taste it, didn't even consider it. It was easy to keep my glass of wine in my hand and pretend to drink it all night. Now the only challenge is being perfect today so I don't see any residual effects of last night tomorrow.
Justin beat me as far as a drop, which I don't like because he was up the day before, but I'll still give it to him. He has been working hard too. :) Today we are heading to Marshall's to get him some thermals and something else he needs for his snow boarding trip. Should be fun, his trip is a mere 10 days away and he is super excited. Well, who wouldn't be (except me, who hates snow)?
Yesterday at work was an utter nightmare. I really thought I was going to lose my cool in the afternoon. Thank goodness Josie soiled her clothes at school and I had to go pick her up early. I would NEVER say it's a good thing to leave my job early, especially as far behind as I still am, but it was a blessing in disguise. I am sure everyone knows, when you are that busy and/or behind, a good way to get left alone is to put on some headphones, jam out, and not make eye contact with anyone. I went one step further, "Office mate, I am going in my hole now, I can't hear anything and I will be focused, ok? Thanks." Now let me back up a little and tell you the details of how things are divided up in the Finance office. I do invoicing, contracts, cost proposals, and everything office mate can't do. He is in charge of payroll, cutting checks, and bank recons. He doesn't do them well, but those are his tasks that I have been forbidden from taking over and/or fixing. Anyway, we just accumulated ten new hires that had to be in ADP (timekeeping/payroll system) by yesterday afternoon. Office mate has run payroll 76 times and still never gotten it right. So ten minutes after I tell him to leave me the eff alone, I hear, "Jami...Jami...Can you come over here and look at this?" WTF?!?!? I just told you I won't be moving!!! No I cannot come over there, what the hell do you need??!?!? What was it? "Jami, all these new hires are just employees right? I have an option to put them in a manager pay group, but all their paperwork says employee, is that right?" ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME!?!?!??! Do what the paperwork says! He has entered no fewer than 20 new hires in the last year into this system, and he is still asking me how to code employees? He should be shot. This happened ALL morning. Every little thing he asked me about. Interrupted me, asked me to take my head phones off and go to his desk for shit he is supposed to know how to do after the 76th time. So after I answered all those ridiculous questions, he spent the next 4 hours attempting to assemble his new desk. When I left, it still wasn't done. What I don't understand is how this guy still has his job. I understand loyalty, but he is a moron. I can't wait for him to be gone. Not that it is in the works, but I can still fantasize.
Anyway, time to get everyone ready and go food shopping. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Lauren is in Philly, so I doubt she has access to an accurate scale. We are suspending the daily wins game until she gets back. See you all on here tomorrow. :)
