Well my wishes came through

I am happy to say that I will be keeping my job. I'm sad to say that 4 of my coworkers have lost their jobs. One Paralegal's last day is January 15, the other is February 8th, and the two other secretaries last day is February 12.

Its sad but bittersweet to me in a way. I don’t want to be too happy because they are loosing their jobs and also their benefits. One Paral found a position already which is great. They gave a great severance package based on your tenure and me only being here 3 years I wouldn't have gotten a really big package. Plus my main concern was I just wanted to keep my job. My finances are on track, we are comfortably able to get things done at the house, we just bought a new TV and living room sofa, and in the beginning of the year plan on redoing our Kitchen and getting new windows. All on cash I might add. Yep, not going in the line of debt ever again. But anyways, back to the regulary scheduled program…(see how I get sidetracked). I mean my work load will complete change as I will now support 4 attorneys instead of 2, plus not to mention all the other joys and frustrations that come along with my position. All I kept saying to myself in silent little prayers, Please God, let me still have a job. It probably was redundant but oh well, I like to keep talking ya know. I mean if I didn't have to work, and had someone to support me that would be perfect, but Heather and My salary combined works good. She got a promotion last year and my bonus and raise comes in March not to mention income tax, etc. So yea, that’s about my life at work right now.

But I am very excited about Christmas coming up. I did my first attempt at bath salts for the girls at work, and they came out great, I loved the pastel food coloring that I purchased at Hobby Lobby, and you really didn't need a lot of it either. The glass jars look great, plus the cute little cloth christmas purses I got at the Christmas Tree Shop for .99 a piece. Wow is all I can say on that one. I'm still trying to figure out what else I can make for my parents for Christmas, since I always try to do something out of the ordinary…hmmm we'll see what my mind ponders today!
