Another day...

And another day to head to the gym... how exciting!
I was there last night... migraine and all... and had a very good workout.
I can tell that I had a good workout when I wake up rested in the morning. Tonight's workout of Zumba should be a good one. I am looking forward to it.

And as I wrote all the goals for this new year, I found myself thinking of even more! LOL! How strange the human mind works when you start something and believe that you have completed the task at hand. I am amazed how much that I can learn about myself when I just sit down and begin to ponder about things.

Like my expanding my vocabulary.... I decided to Google "word of the day" and came upon the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary and they actually have a word of the day.

Today's word, ladies and gentlemen, is festoon (fess-TOON), a noun meaning a decorative chain or strip hanging between two points. 

Example: Festoons of colored paper were draped along the classroom's walls.

So now I will need to figure out how to use that word in the next couple of days... I will have another word for you tomorrow. :-)

As the day progresses, I realize more and more that just because some people have a higher education, does not make them smarter.
Case in point, this person that I have been emailing from work back and forth... instead of just calling me and walking me through the steps that I need to make, it (cause I can't tell by the name if it's a he or she) continues to email me and it thinks that this situation is the only one that I am dealing with today. Well IT, I have other work that is more important and if you need to have me do the steps correctly, why don't you call me after all the different times that I have asked you to call me for assistance?!?!? UGH! So annoying!

And why I don't call this person myself, you may ask? Because IT is new to the agency and IT's name doesn't come up in the directory that is only printed up every couple of months. I started here in August and my name finally showed up in the directory in NOVEMBER! And don't get me started on the fact that I do not have voicemail on my work phone.

For being an educational entity, they are so behind on the times!
Other than that, I am completely happy here than at my last job! LOL! Thank goodness for that because I was miserable at my last job.

Well, I guess that is enough for today. Almost time to go and I need to finish up some things around here before I get out of here. My boss will be gone tomorrow, so I am hoping that I get a lot of work done and now worry about the things that I need to get done over the weekend.

Have a great evening! :-)
Hasta la proxima!
