frustrating day

For somebody who doesn't know what my job persists of or has never seen me "in action", this entry probably won't make a whole lot of sense...


As much as I love challenges, today I was at wits end. From spending over an hour last night to spending ALL morning (from 6:45am to 11:30 AM) this morning on ONE order today about made me want to blow a gasket. I guess what pissed me off the most was everything was done EXCEPT 2 pieces out of 19... TWO! And then to try and get help... the two groups I had to work with were pointing fingers at each other saying it was each other's fault...


So finally after getting that resolved, my email crashed. This is after I've been getting pop-ups (about 5-6 at a time) the last two days. Working with our IT group, they fixed my email but took down all of my other "gotta-have" databases. Calling back, they fixed the "gotta-haves" but I'm still without email.


I probably could have handled all of this, but for goodness sake, it's month end... in a SALES office! I'm laughing now as I type this because there's nothing I can do... but WOW.


This is what I felt like earlier today:

Little O


When I got the email with this picture, I replied back asking if this was Little O or Baby G? Either way he's adorable!

blast from the past..mixed with today

I was "cleaning out" and re-organizing my documents today when I came across some pictures... how they bring back some memories.







This is me circa 1982... riding on my brother's John Deere. The good 'ol tractor is still going strong....
