Congrats, first of all, to Brianna Marie (Hemmer) Lewis and her wonderful Husband Christopher Lewis. They are the new, Proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, Audrey Joanne Lewis. She is truly a gift from above! Great work you two...what a perfect team! She's beautiful

Secondly, I'm stressed. Today, everyone seems to think it's appropriate to gather in clusters and cluck loudly about their issues and problems and trouble regarding EDI and work. I'm sorry that you're all having a tough time, but I'm having a tough time hearing those customers who are calling in. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if you would utilize your email to communicate with one another, or perhaps, go get a conference room. Your clucking is a bother to me. thanks! At one point i had to cram my ear-buds into my ears and just turn on some music. i closed my eyes and just breathed deep. it was more than i could handle.

I went to Jimmy Johns as a treat for my waning patience. It was really nice. A friend walked outside with me and then continued on to Target once i hit the JJ's. The weather was vrey very nice. THe sun was out, the breeze was blowin, and it was perfect. Now the clouds have taken over and the wind has picked up. there are apparent storm on the horizon. boo. TOmorrow i'm having some friends over to the house after work for tacos and "beverages." If the weather holds out we may try to have a fire in the "firepit" but it looks like it is supposed to rain, so we'll see. Might end up being movie night at the Bowar-Erickson-Olson, or "Bowerickolson" household. We'll see...

Anyway, back to work for me. I have 10, probably 12 voicemails to call back now. great. Sometimes i just love my job. (do you think they're hiring at a tropical resort? i'd even be wait staff at this point, if it meant i could be warm and happy) UGH!

Everyone...the sun is back! justa quick, parting side-note. Have a great day!
