…so i was rushing around today, needing to get out of the house by 3:15 pm to get to work on time. It’s 3:10 and i’m still getting dressed and it dawns on me that my two friends at work pestered me last week to take a night off so they could work (they’re vultures, yes… actually, they both just used up all their comp time so they’re antsy to rebuild their comp time). So, the more i think about it, the more i think i’m off but of course, i can’t just assume. So i call in to ask.
“Hi Jen, it’s denise… i gotta a stupid question”
“okaaayy….”
“Am i off tonight? I put in for a night off last week but can’t remember it it’s today or not!”
Jen is trying to not be obvious, but her snickering is just audible as she’s walking over to the schedule…
“um, yes Denise, you’re off tonight!” <gives up any pretense and is laughing at me now>
“Oh that’s too funny- i was all rushing around trying to leave the house and suddenly thought i might not have to!”
Both of us are laughing now… and when I called Lori (one of the vultures working for me) we had a good laugh too. And so did my hubby and my sister. Not that it surprises any of them, only that it’s a “Typical Denise Misadventure” and you just gotta laugh.
So, my time off was well spent. I finished up extra packs of my Christmas SAS class cards and am well on my way to finishing the Christmas Card Mailings. I have a new one to share!
The card was inspired by a small gift bag i found at my favorite time-wasting store, Target. When I saw the sky and the tree- instant inspiration! Can we say Soft Sky DSP? Merry & Bright Christmas Tree? Hee hee hee!
ingredients: Merry & Bright, Season of Joy stamp sets, Kraft CS, White Textured CS, Soft Sky DSPrints, Wild Wasabi, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White cs. Certainly Celery and Old Olive Markers, and Soft Sky classic ink.
