Last week, I had to turn in my UTHSCSA nursing school questions. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to do them, but every time I came home I felt so worn out. Luckily, I had the weekend to complete them and send them to my dad and my aunt to triple check everything made sense and was good to go. Now, I have to wait til the end of the month til I find out if I got in or not.
One night, I decided to bring some work home with me so I wouldn't have so much to do the next day to where I could possibly leave early! Well, it must have been a sign from God because as I am cleaning up my email somehow it jumped from the trash folder to the inbox and PURGED everything! ( Yes, I cried.) I couldn't believe it. I put my face in my hands,had a little hissy fit, and wanted to crawl into a hole. Devin comes over to see if he can help since I am computer illiterate when it comes to 'fixing' what was done. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do. I tried calling the email tech support and they couldn't help me because I didn't have my work's account information. I couldn't believe I had just lost everything I had received from July 23-Aug 7. Devin advised me to just go to bed and not worry about it. He said, " Everyone makes mistakes." I was just so damn worried that I was going to walk into work and tell them what happened and looks of "what the hell?!!"
The next morning Devin tells me that I never left work because throughout the night I was yelling in my sleep, as if I was talking to people at work, telling them what they did wrong and so on. I was obviously very stressed about trying to get all the work I needed to finish done and then it was just the cherry on top having 3 weeks worth of emails gone forever!
So I go into work and talk with the IT guy about my little mishap and he spoke with the email tech support and supplied them with the information I couldn't give. All they could was get my emails up to Aug 6 back but hey that was better than nothing! I did some recon to figure out what I had lost and so forth, so no I wasn't banished from work for eternity nor was I objected to have my head chopped off like I was expecting. :) ( Yes, I tend to over exaggerate)
Last night was a good stress reliever. We went to downtown disney for a kiss tribute concert at the House of Blues. It was so much fun. I had a cherry vodka sour and Devin had a 24 oz budlight and it was freaking $17 for that! I was like hmmm I think this maybe my only drink, until I sipped it and it tasted like cough medicine. The first time I had a cherry vodka sour was at New Year's and it was delicious! This one not so much. So I tried something else. I got a whiskey sour. Yea, that sucked too. It was like I drank spiked water. Seriously. Oh well, other than the awful bartender we had a blast. There is just something about seeing grown men wearing platform shoes and face paint that makes everything better. :) The poor guy that was being Gene Simmons could barely walk in his platform shoes. Devin and I couldn't stop laughing! He would pick his legs up high as if he was a giant when he would walk. Too funny.
This morning I decided I should get a mani/pedi to be the cherry on top of my stress relieving weekend so I did. I have never been to such a huge a spa! I felt like royalty being so comfortable and luxurious! I love walking out and feeling like I have slept for days. You just feel so relaxed. It's truly amazing. I get home and Devin has mowed the grass, done dishes,and packed up laundry to go to the laundromat. I couldn't believe it. Now he is making dinner on his bbq pit while I write on my blog and watch shark week. Have I mentioned how great my husband is? Well he is pretty awesome!
I'm glad I went and treated myself today. It had been awhile since I did that. I think next time Devin and I are going to have to get swedish massages.
Remember, always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.
Getting promoted at your work is always a good thing. But like everything else, promotion has its own pros and cons. It can help boost your confidence and your motivation to strive better at your work, though at the same time, you'll have to shoulder more responsibility. But it shouldn’t hinder you from giving yourself a little pampering once in a while. I think you should include it to your schedule, maybe at least once or twice a month seems fair. It can be a good way to get rid of all the stress you have accumulated at work and other matters. What do you think?
