What a wonderful day I had today. I had to be there at 7 for new hire orientation, then after that I went into a hiring frenzy. I'm halfway done hiring people for the warehouse, and only need 2 more for another department. I really hate not getting to know the new hires, but most of them will quit anyway. I left my desk a total mess, but I had to leave right then because I had already worked over by an hour.
So tonight I'm going out with my temp worker. We're going to the Terminal, which is one of my most favorite bars in town.
Well my dog Maddy almost just ate my other dog. Seems they're fighting over a paper plate. I think it's time to go separate those two.

Things I like:
Anything outdoors
Watching movies
Cooking stuff
Shopping
Learning new things
Taking road trips
Developing my professional career
Playing with my dogs
Dreaming about the future
Making comforters
Visiting with family
Taking part in community activities
Watching people in their every day lives
The Sopranos
Meeting new people

Here's something to chew on...

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Today was pretty decent, could have been better, could have been worse. I try my best not to bring my personal feelings to work, since it has no business being there. Not that there's anything so horrible about my personal life at the time, but I try to make everyone's day a little brighter, and that's hard to do when you're thinking about other crap. This one guy I hired in today asked me if I got paid to be so happy...I thought that was really funny! It seems I use all my friendliness at work and am drained at the end of the day. It's hard work being nice to people all the time.
I'm looking very forward to going to NY for training in February. It will be a lot of much needed fun. My boss said I'll have time to do fun stuff, and I'd really like to stretch my legs out on the town. Watch me get mugged and killed.
Today was the first time in about a month I went grocery shopping. For some reason Wal-Mart just doesn't appeal to me like it did in college. I did find my favorite beer there though, Green Light by Rolling Rock. It's awesome and is low carb, not like I care, but it's a bonus.

Did you ever "forget" to tell someone part of a story so they wouldn't be upset? I have found through experience that honesty is the best policy, no matter how upset the other person will get, they will get more upset if they find out the truth.
At work if someone messes up, people will respect you if you are up front and honest about it.
At home, if you go out with friends, and not tell your significant other who exactly was there, generally that's a sign that something's going on.
With friends, if you need to tell them something that can potentially hurt their feelings, the best policy is to be honest and gentle when confronting them. If your friend found out you were hiding something from them, they'd probably be even more angry with you, and may even possibly end the friendship. What is worth more to you? Hiding something that can be discussed and cleared up, or taking the risk of losing that person forever?
Today I got home early enough to watch an episode of Dismissed on MTV...that is where that tangent came from. I hate reality tv.

A very big thanks to my sister Kristina for changing my blogskin. I feel much more at home looking at the cute puppies on my blog! She spent a very long time fixing some problem and I feel bad. I can't believe tomorrow's already Monday :( I have to go in at 7 again for orientation, so that means I get to leave at 3:30 which is one good thing. I spent my entire day at my sister's house watching the Colts game as well as the first season of the Simpsons. I hate the animation on the first season, but it's still funny. This morning I used my new body wash and lotion and I still smell like vanilla :) (such a relaxing smell)
Very soon I'm going to start posting pics... YAY!
