Surprise! Surprise!

I'm finally starting to feel 'normal' and life is getting back to a regular routine. 
Friday I went to my favorite scrapbooking store, Archivers, which is closing it's doors. 
Sad, sad news for many people.
I had signed up for a class for my new toy, my Silhouette Cameo. I am anxious to have time to use it for my scrapbook pages, there are so many things you can do with it!

Yesterday I got into my 'saturday afternoon' routine.....laundry and straightening up my scrapbooking area in the basement. I put the final touches on my Louisville scrapbook and got together some items for a scrapbook for an upcoming trip.
Our grandson came over and spent the night.

Today we went to church, did a little bit of homework, and he watched a lot of TV.
Mom picked him up just after supper.
The dishes were done so I decided to settle down in front of the TV and try to write a post....after I read my email. 
There's one with FYI in the subject line from my co-worker. 
OMG she's quitting in one month!
I'm leaving in 3 months......
looks to me like I'll be training 2 new people instead of one. We went through 2 people before Lisa was hired. Before I was hired 2 other women were hired  for my job of accounts receivable.
Wish me luck!!!

The 2 owners don't realize how much there is to learn, there are a lot of variables on my side of the job and mind reading is sometimes required too.
I can't let it worry me, I gave my notice about 6 months ago and reminded them again last week.
I guess I am not totally surprised that Lisa found a different job, she has a 2nd part time job, and I don't think she was totally happy working part time.

The next couple of months could be very interesting.......stay tuned!

  2. Reading this brought back so many memories of my working days. Training someone new..hoping I didn't miss anything. Yep...I admit I don't miss those days at all. I really thought I would but I don't. To wake up in the morning and know I don't HAVE to be anywhere or DO anything I don't want to do. It's...wonderful! :)

  3. Oh, I thought they went through more than two people before you! I don't know how many before Lisa. Good luck and take it all one day at a time.

  4. That should make the time go even faster! I hope they find someone for you to train soon. Might they go with one full time person?
