Not a lot of time but a few things.

Got my balance transfer money. Took about 2 weeks from credit card to money market (should get to MM by Friday). APplied BT to Citi card, then asked for a refund. Refund arrived yesterday (right after I deposited my paycheck - figures - dh will run it to the bank for me today) and I will deposit it to my checking, and then give it a day or 2 to make sure and transfer it to MM Friday. It should get there Friday.

Which reminds me I bought my lifetime supply of deposit slips a few months back (for a few bucks - not a big purchase I will add) BUT yesterday at the bank they said, "Did anyone tell you that we no longer require deposit slips?" Um NO!!!! Good and bad I guess. I got them for mailing in checks which I would still use them for to direct the money properly, but you have seen me rant and rave about the post office enough. With my credit union right down the street, I probably won't ever use a deposit slip again. I still had to waste a piece of paper to write down the account number for dh. Best make him memorize it.

I have been in a real funk lately and I can not exactly put my finger on it. I think mostly work is killing me. Then again I have been in such a funk I have barely been working 40-hour-weeks, which doesn't help. It's like a cycle I guess. More behind, more stressed. Just unlike me though. Anyway, then returning from vacation with this whole training thing and many issues and Tuesday I was pretty much whining to dh that there was nothing I rather do less than go to work. I could barely bring myself to go. 90% of the time I LOVE going to work. I knew I was being whiny and unreasonable, but just how I felt. I was trying to think really long and hard about it. I thought, gosh I have worked so many worse stressful job situations and I just put up with it. When did I get so LAZY???? LOL. I realized I have been working in a really comfortable and slow work environment for a good 2-3 years (maybe a year or 2 to learn all the ropes and get so comfortable). Anyway, my conclusion is I have just had it really easy of late and I am not used to it. I haven't challenged myself of late and though my brain knows that a challenge is good the rest of me is just like, why can't I keep it easy?

Anyway my son told me I had to go to work to pay the bills (my always answer to him why I go to work - to pay for the house and food on the table and cars and all that). He has a point so I went to work. & it wasn't so bad. I wish I would stop feeling like a whiny 2-year-old though. Interestingly though my discussion/whine session with dh in the morning gave me some ideas how to deal with my training job. Sometimes it just helps to TALK - it made all the difference in my day yesterday and things are going better.

Then my part-time coworker came in yesterday and I thought O.M.G. She recruited a new client and he had called me over vacation asking when (been putting it off 3 months already) when we would set up the accounting software for him, etc. I promptly forgot his phone call and when I saw he OMG. Remembered - hehe. I went home for lunch yesterday which was very pleasant BTW. I told dh when I got home, I said, you know on top of this training and aLL my regular work (which thank god no clients are complaining on how behind we are) - on top of all this I still have an audit to complete and apparently I am the only one in the office who can set up this software too. Lord knows WHY we have a new client. In general my boss does not accept them these days - we can't handle it. So BAH! Young co-worker recruits a client, he doesn't want to discourage it because it is key in most firms to bring in business. So I understand he is trying to help. But all the same there is no bringing in business here and my workload is just through the roof. The only "blessing" is I called the buy back and has computer had crashed anyway. Buys me time...

I was trying to slow down my writing a bit but I have an article BURSTING out of me today. Lord knows when I'll have time.

Oh yeah, and yesterday we went swimming finally. Was nice. MB is back to terrified of the water but okay with me. LOL. Well middle ground would be nice. Usually in the past BM and I would go down to the pool, so it was quite a caravan with all 4 of us. My bathroom got swallowed by beach towels - hehe. Work may be busy but I had a nice lunch at home and a nice swim after work, not too much to complain about overall...
