Today Has Been Interesting.....

I'm going to start off first with a very positive and happy note! Austin found out today that he is going to be promoted into the engineering department sooner than we had hoped. He was originally not going to get to move until May or June, but he found out today that he will get to start training next week and move over there full time as soon as they hire & train the replacement for his current job. So I am so proud of him and happy that he is getting to move up in the company. Plus, I really think he will enjoy this position much more than his current one - less math which I know will make him happy! ;) And a new group of people to work directly with and whatnot. So congrats to my hubby!

Let's see - what else to report......well, this morning when we came in, we all had this interesting e-mail from our boss saying that the hours are to be 8:30 to 5:30 and that we all need to be coming in then and staying until then, etc. Which confused me considering I've been working here for two years and worked 8/8:15 to 5/5:15 depending on how long my lunch break was. So I asked him what the deal is and supposedly it's not the actual time he is worried about. It's just that he thinks some people are coming in at 8:10 or 8:15 and only working until 5 and he doesn't like that. Even though previously, we were told that we are only REQUIRED to take a 30 minute lunch so technically you could come in as late as 8:30 and leave by 5 if you only take 30 minutes for lunch....but at this point I'm not going to bother arguing any more. So I will still come in as usual, but I will be forced to take a full hour lunch (and I will take every single minute of it too!) and then leave at exactly 9 hours from whatever time I walked in the door. Just to make him happy!!!! Whatever, I'm sure next week he'll have something else to complain about! I swear, it's something new every day at this place! ;)

Other than that, not too much to report. It's entirely too cold for my liking with the wind blowing but at least it is supposed to warm up a bit by tomorrow. I am supposed to start my dance class tomorrow night but I might just wait until Monday to go depending on if I feel up to it and if I can find my knee brace tonight! We usually don't have class the first week anyways so we'll see if I actually end up going or not.

Guess that's all for now - I'll write again this afternoon if I can come up with anything else interesting! By the way, wedding gifts are great once you finally get them all out of the boxes and start using them - we have such nice things now - it's AWESOME! :)
