yea! i love 3-day weekends!! :) especially when the weather is nice outside (well, it's still only in the 40's, but at least it's sunny!) we've had kind of a strange winter this year. there's been lots of days of snow, about once a week, but just a light dusting for us, nothing really major (it's only accumulated maybe 3 times so far), but then it gets REALLY warm, i'm talking 50s-60s, which is not normal. i think our trees are confused. i just hope they don't start budding too soon!!

so last week at work was full of "change." last thursday was the unofficial last day for the rest of our colleagues in wholesale and conduit, so now it's just us. we found out our move date, february 29th, yippeeee!!!! and we also got news that we're shifting things around and no longer will be working in teams, but rather centralizing everything. i think it makes more sense, but i'm not happy to be losing my boss. well, i don't think it will be for long. when we went into my director's office to see the new seating assignments, she said she didn't have a place for me yet! at first, i was thinking, "omg, they're getting rid of me" but then i realized there is no way they're getting rid of me because a) i'm the only one that does what i do, and b) i got a REALLY great year-end review, so i'm sure they'd get rid of some other yahoos before they got rid of me. at least i would hope they would! so when i went to talk to my manager i jokingly said "i don't care about this change cuz i'll be a processor soon anyway and will be working for you again." and she gave me this look like "shhh...not so loud" and winked at me. so...that makes me think they're finally gonna give me my promotion (that they were supposed to give me last summer, but of course the mortgage industry took a nosedive and so did our volume of business)...but i'm not holding my breath. i'm getting used to empty promises. but...i can't complain, i'm happy to be employed in this market. so i will continue to be a happy worker bee. :) plus, my job is so stressfree...i'm kinda getting used to not having so much pressure on me. okay, maybe i'm just getting lazy. so i'm hoping for good things to come in the next 2 weeks...keep your fingers crossed!! :)
