Yes, it is on my sweet tea drink. What of it? This is a really great idea. Instead of using the cardboard coffee sleeves that come with your hot drink, get yourself one of these. Not only will you be reducing waste but you can wear your personality on your drink! Check out the website at www.coffeecover.net and order a few for yourself and friends. This baby is going to get a lot of use this week since I'll be living at work. For the sake of humanity Hubbards and Cravens better open on time this week.
I'm really excited to move in over Labor Day weekend and start decorating!
*no, I didn't by this house or any other house for that matter. However, should this one ever go on the market, feel free to buy it for me :-)
Dad and I went berry pickin' this afternoon. We were aiming for blueberries, but evidently they are out of season. Instead we picked and ate our way through the raspberry bushes. After almost an hour of picking in the hot, hot sun we ended up with 4 quarts of fresh raspberries.
The Big Cheese came yesterday and told us who would be reallocated and who would be laid-off. All privately of course. I will be moving to "corporate" at the end of October. Before I go on let me say that I am grateful to have a job and I am thankful that there is room for me over at "corporate". So, yeah. I'm not sure of what to think of the whole situation. I've really enjoyed working in a clinical setting the past year and now I am moving to more of a "real" laboratory, sans patients. I'm sad that many of my co-workers won't be moving with me and the awkwardness that is in the air when we are together is something that I don't like much. In reality, I guess I feel that this didn't come as a surprise to me. For the past three weeks I have been pretty much at peace about this whole situation. I was okay with letting whatever happen happen, but I was prepared to lose my job and start over with a different company. Now, that isn't the case anymore. I'm looking for the pros in this new path: I have the opportunity to work closely with scientists. I will be able to learn new procedures and get a different perspective. I'll be working regular hours, no more nights and weekends or 2am calls. The cons: no more overtime, no more clinical setting, and having no clue about what I am supposed to be doing or how to do it.
I'm in between being mellow about this and not being o.k. with it. I should probably save my energy and just roll with it because I know that there is something bigger and better after this. I am supposed to learn new things and make the most of this opportunity because on the other side of the bridge is something that I was made to do, something that has been and is waiting just for me. I just wish I knew how long it is going to take to cross.
I heard this song for the first time last night and it really struck a chord with me. Just thought I'd share it if you haven't heard or read the lyrics before. The song is called Give me your Eyes.
