Appreciation

Although I have thoroughly enjoyed my training in Sarasota the last week and a half, I must say that I will be glad to get back to my office and normal routine. Sort of. I did get kind of spoiled by being around so many great places to have lunch...and by the Starbucks where I grabbed my mocha's on the way home each evening. But, it is going to be nice to only have a half-hour commute each day instead of an hour. And my boss has been telling me how much she's missed me while I've been gone. Ahhh....it's nice to be appreciated. But, I got a taste of appreciation while I was in that computer training this week. A couple of ladies who were rather high up the ladder talked to me about offering me a position as a corporate trainer, although it was probably just idle talk. Still, it made me feel good, and if the offer came with a raise to counteract the additional fuel and travel time, sign me up! We'll see what happens along those lines...

Ooh, and that dining room table I made reference to in my last post? It now has a home here at La Casa del Hollomans! It is so pretty, and I am such a happy girl! I picked it up in my vehicle yesterday, and Shannon came over to help us unload it and set it up. Today, I assembled the chairs, and I'm feeling like a rather handy girl. Wrestling with the Allen-wrench left me with a sore thumb, though. Perhaps next time, I'll talk hubby into springing for delivery, 'cause then they'll put it together for us. I'll probably have to wait for a while before the next time comes, because I think Matt probably thinks I'm getting spoiled...and maybe I am. But, I am appreciative.
