So I had a fun trip even if I didn't get much sleep and had to do a lot of work but sadly I think it has made me sick. We were working in freezing cold weather and it seemed that a lot of the time it was either snowing or raining so my boots were always soaked! So now I am sadly at home and sick with 102 degree temp. I am hoping I will be fine soon seeing as I have already missed a week of work with the guard and next month I am taking a month vacation to visit people in DC and my parents. I am definitely ready for the vacation but I wish I would hear about grad school already! Anyway I guess I don't have much to update, so Happy Holidays!

So I have come to realize I have an quite expensive addiction. I am totally addicted to traveling. I haven't really gone anywhere because lately I have been going to classes and work so that makes me pretty busy and not much time to get anywhere. Well all work and no play had made me start to get a little cranky. So luckily I am taking a work trip next week. While it is still work it will get me out of Kansas and I will be doing a little me time. No more worrying about school or anything I need to do other than just relaxing, catching up on sleep, and reading. Of course the work I will have to do will be involved as well but at least during flying time I don't need to worry about any of this.

Also, there is a list of things I have been meaning to write about but haven't had the time. First of all I took my last final today so that is probably the most exciting thing currently. Then there is the fact that I had a talk with our manager yesterday about the new position I am applying for. I couldn't make the interview today so we are just rescheduling it for Feb, it is so far away but at least well get to try out the job now for a couple weeks to make sure we both still want it. But on that note she told me something I wasn't aware of and actually kind of appalled to hear. She said that people have come to her with the concern that I will be too lazy to do a good job as a secretary! WTF. On more than one occasion people have told me I am one of if not their favorite person to work with. I just listened to her and told her I was surprised to hear this but didn't want to sound defensive even though I was about to get quite angry. Anyway on a new note. First snow that stuck was today, and I really can't remember a lot of the stuff I had wanted to blog about before so maybe I should start making sticky notes to remind me of what I am going to write so I don't keep forgetting stuff. :(
