There were lots of things to be thankful for this weekend. Several good meals, good naps, no alarm clock, my Dad who takes care of my dog, Gaffney High football, Krispy Kreme, etc. I needed this 5 day break so bad. I needed a break from my small apartment and my crazy neighbor and my job. Being away from work at any given time does make me that much more thankful for it, though. A job is hard to come by these days. A job you love is pretty much unheard of. And a job that pays you enough...well I don't know what that feels like yet. I've watched a lot of Parks and Recreation this weekend as I've been all sinus-ish and laying in bed and I got season 2 for half price at Target. There was a whole episode about Leslie wanting to be the first female director of the parks department one day and she just went on about how much she loved her co-workers and the parks and her town. It was scarily similar to the way I feel on any given day. Working in City Government where nothing can get done and progress moves like a snail, really isn't so bad. It beats the crap out of being in a pointless lockout for 149 days where lots of people lose their jobs and selfish people don't care. Example: I now owe the city of Cowpens a few pennies for speeding home Friday night. I felt like I let my country down or something. I thought to myself, "I'm a public servant, I shouldn't be breaking the law." I can't imagine how awful I would feel if officer Stinson, my fave police officer in Rock Hill were to pull me over. I would probably bake him an "I'm sorry" cookie cake or something. Anyways, that's how much I love my job. So THANKS City of Rock Hill, for paying me what you can, so I can in turn, pay the City of Cowpens all of my money. I wouldn't say I've missed you over the past 5 days, but it'll be good to be back in the K-cube.
quote of the day from Amanda:
"This is why we're friends. I have zero tolerance for stupidity."
