Off for the holidays? 

     This has little to do with my divorce, but I wanted to share some good news for a change.  I just found out in the last few days that my days off will be changing.  I have griped about work a bit here, so some of you may be familiar with this.  I have the least amount of seniority at work and I understand that it's a 24/7 operation, but choosing between Monday-Tuesday and Tuesday-Wednesday for the past year has been stressful at times.  I decided to grin and bear it because I enjoy my job and knew that I would move up sooner or later.

     I will finally have Thursdays and Fridays off!  My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving and I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to work that day.  I pictured a nice dinner with my Mom followed by me rushing to be at work by 4.  Nope.  I will be off all day and even have the next day to hang out with her(shopping, eating too many turkey sandwiches, or whatever we decide to do...)  It turns out that Christmas falls on a Friday this year, so if all goes well, I will be off the 24th and 25th of December, too. 

     Wow.  I am so psyched that I don't know where to begin.  There have been so many disappointments in my life this past year.  To have this happen is just too good to be true.  When D moves out of here I might even start going out on Friday nights like a normal person!  At least, I think that's what I think normal people do... I'm not sure if I know any normal people.
