 Given the weekend that I had, I decided to focus on work today. I worked on my weekly reports for the next two weeks, since I will be gone when they are due. Plus I have to reports due for this week too to get done.  The management meeting went well. It was announced that Clara would be taking maternity leave starting the end of April.  Clara is the lead for the accounting department.  I wondered if they will do a temp hire or if they will ask some poor soul to take on the added work load to cover for her? 


At lunch, I saw Larry in the break room and I sat down with him. I asked how is daughter was doing. He said that they  finally found what is wrong with her. She has a tumor pushing against her spine. She is scheduled to have it removed on Wednesday and they won't know if it is cancerous or not until next week, after the biopsy. I told him that I was praying for him and his daughter and that he has the day off so he can be there. I will make sure that he gets the day off, paid. 


Cheers for now.

  Today I met up with Maria for some pickle ball. Neither of us is very good at it but we had a lot of fun. We started by just playing the two of us, but after a while, an older couple asked if we wanted to play against them. I think they didn't have a court reserved and wanted to play. Neither Maria nor myself had an issue so we said yes. They were pretty good and gave us some great tips and pointers.  After our match, Maria and I headed to a little cafe where we had lunch and talked. After that, I went home and worked on housework.  Cheers for now.

      Today was my last round of dealing with the auditors. Today it was the procurement team. Again, they went over every penny and every day off that was taken. I don't know what they are looking for but if they don't find it, it won't because they didn't look hard enough for it. I am glad I am done with the audit. I spent the rest of the day getting as much done and getting ready for me being on vacation next week.   I talked with my sister tonight. We are both excited for my visit to New York City on Saturday. We plan on doing all the tourist thing and eating way too much good food.    Cheers for now.

  I was glad I had no meeting today as it allowed me to get a lot of work done. I managed to get all the proposal reviews done and presentations scheduled, I also got a lot of work done on my end-of-month reports. I did read in an email that our division HR Manager is leaving. I am sad to see her go. I called her and she told me that she got an offer for an HR Manager with another company in town and she said the pay was really good. It will be sad to see her go but I wished her the best and told her we needed to stay in touch.   After work, I got a call from my mom and dad. They had heard about Lee and wanted to make sure I was okay. Apparently, when it comes to my love life, there are no secrets.  My dad offered for him and Uncle Bob to come to town and "re-arrange the guy's face." I smiled and said that would not be necessary, that I had it handled and would be fine. My mom gave me some advice on how to deal with a bad break-up. I asked her if s...
