Healthy for the Heck of it

Today we are going around with apples, oranges and bananas for the staff. There wasn’t really a reason so I called it “healthy for the heck of it.” Next Tuesday is National Nut Day, so we will go around with nuts and candy corns.

Last night, when I got off Nick had made Burgers and fries for Kat & himself, and a bunless cheeseburger and zucchini w/ onions for me. Then we all watched The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown special. At first I was honored because Kat had asked to spend the night at a friends since they are off school Thursday/Friday this week, and I had said yes. But when I made it home she was there to watch the movie and family time. Turns out her friend had plans in the morning she didn’t know about. So Kat went shopping with my grandma at 9:30 this morning.

Speak of the devil! Kat just ran in the front door. Apparently grandma found a sale on sweaters and bought a couple to see if I liked them and if I didn’t she would bring them back. They were super cute and who can say no to free clothes?

I didn’t sleep well last night. I tossed and turned to fall asleep and then I woke up at 1:00AM with the worst pain in my stomach. I cried and whined and tried to take a shower but they flushed the fire hydrants in town yesterday so our cold water wasn’t working and all that came out was a trickle of boiling water so I laid back down and writhed in agony until about 3:00AM and fell back asleep. When my alarm went off at 5:00, I thought I hit snooze but I shut it off. I woke up with 10 minutes to get ready and out the door for work. Luckily it is casual Friday.

I had a meeting this morning with our new recruitment specialist and they are going to start giving me incentives. Because I am the first person people see when they enter the building, and I am the one that hands out the applications they are going to give me a bonus for every new hire that stays at least 30 days, another bonus for 90, another for 180 and then 1 and 2 years. Just for doing what I am already doing, by being welcoming and being someone that new people can ask questions to. Um heck yeah.

I received news that I was chosen as one of the 150 people to be in the Women of Villa Group. I didn’t realize it was out of 40,000 applicants. It’s country wide, not just the 11 buildings in Minnesota. Although I was against the “female” part of it, more on board for the “leader” part, I do feel honored to be picked out of such a high number.

I can’t wait for 4 O’clock. Hello weekend!
