A Lovely Night
Mar. 4th, 2006 09:01 amI'm sitting here this morning, queasy stomached, cotton-headed and dry mouthed--with a huge grin on my face.
I had such a great time last night!
After work, four of us met up at a local steakhouse. Said local steakhouse had Happy Hour with two for one well-brand and they consider Jack Daniels a well brand!!! OMG!! I had them put the two into one large glass and damn. Their bartender was generous. Or maybe I'm not really used to drinking much anymore.
Anyway, the girls and I ordered appetizers (by the way...who ever heard of putting chili on potato skins? Gross) and drinks and then we started talking. We talked about work, ourselves, our past...it was really amazing how much we revealed to each other. We were at the restaurant for a couple of hours. (I had two of the Jack and coke doubles, and NO, I won't be doing that again any time soon.)
I just have to say that last night reminded me of why girlfriends are important. You can say things to other women that you just can't or won't say to a man. And my hubby is one of the best.
We agreed to try to meet like that at least once per month. I can't wait for the next time.
Later today, hubby and I are going to the country to visit his folks and to see his brother's new house. *jealous* Hopefully, it will give my hubby the kick in the pants he needs to write the check to get the survey done on "our" property so we can start our house. I'm not sure what's happening with him, but whenever I bring up the subject, he either changes it or refuses to talk about it. Something is going on with him about that subject, but I'm not sure what. (And I have told him that if he doesn't want to have the house, an apartment is fine with me--no it honestly is--as long as it's not here. If we are going to live in an apartment, I want one with at least a dishwasher, and preferably one with both a dishwasher and a washer and dryer.
As far as the whole thing that happened at work...well, the management keeps saying they "didn't find any reason inside the building or classroom" for what happened. But they have kept us out of that room for the past week while they cleaned it from top to bottom--walls, floors, ceiling, computers--everything. They also fixed the duct system, adding more ventilation. But, the memos going around are all "as far as we can see...nothing is wrong..." Meanwhile, several of my classmates were rushed to the ER and had high levels of carbon in their blood. We believe it was carbon monoxide poisoning. But, the company may never admit that that's what happened. Oh, and we were informed that we will have to use our own sick time for the days we were out...even the days when we were SENT HOME. That really sucks.
Other work news, the training is going well, at least for me. I seem to be grasping the concepts pretty well and I am feeling better about the whole thing overall. There's still a lot to learn, but I was able to obsorb the lessons and tasks this week pretty well and I'm glad. *sigh of relief* I was afraid I would be slow to learn and embarrass myself, but I seem to be one of the quick ones in the class. Whew.
Guess that's all for now. We're off to the country in a little while.
