I know, it’s been awhile

After staying late at work a few days, I started to think if me working in 2 divisions was such a good idea.  I spoke to my mentor and she told me if it was too much I could give something up. She also explained that if I were to work in project management that it too would be just as crazy.  I completely get that, I know that.  And I also know that every organization has its problems.  I told her I’d tough it out some more before I make a decision.  Everything else was fine, it was just month end.  Maybe if I adjust my schedule during that week, everything would be okay.  I went back to my desk and worked.  Time flew.  I finished an assignment I was working on.  I had to track some contractors’ cost see if it was within a certain budget.  I personally didn’t think it was a big deal until I received an email from one of the IT directors.  He told me he appreciated my help tracking the contractors’ cost and that it was a part of a $1.3M budget for his division.  I had no clue it was this big, I figured I was just doing my job.  He went on to say he looks forward to working with me on the remainder of the project and thanks for the support.  I was in shock. I told him he was welcome and that I look forward to assisting him. Sometimes when you feel like giving up, don’t.  The light is just at the end of the tunnel.

After dealing with the craziness of month end last week at work, I decided to take a little break.  Good thing I had a ladies night planned.

We stopped and got fish and chips from one of our favourite places.  Because I was so tired from my draining week (I think we all were) we headed home to nap before our night of fun.  After my nap, I got ready and headed over to Lola’s house for some predrinking.  We finished a bottle of wine (Ménage à Trois, a go-to favourite) in 20 mins and then off to the club we went.  As soon as we walked in we were dancing, the music was great.  However we noticed that our friend (Lola’s roommate) Nicki didn’t seemed like she was having as much fun as we were.  A visit of to the bar was needed.  After our shots Nicki was feeling great.  We had great night, no hassles.  The next day I woke up and my ears where ringing and I had a slight headache. I guess things change as you get older.

I spent the rest of the weekend relaxing because I knew that starting Monday I would be back to night school, something I wasn’t looking forward to. Speaking of which, I have some homework I need to get to
