so, i'm finally in my new digs. i say new, but it's actually right where i started with this company over 3 years ago. heh. at my old job, i had my own office. i felt a lot more important there than i do here, but hey -- at least i have a job, right?
so this weekend will be filled with lots of family and lots of food. also trying to get together with zero and halo, so should be good times. i took off all weekend from the restaurant, so i'll have a nice long weekend with no work interruptions. will probably catch a few flicks, too. oh how i love holiday weekends at the movies. got this via email and thought i'd post it in honor of the holiday. hope everyone has a great weekend - and think of at least one thing you're really thankful for. if it's a person, or has to do with a person ---- make sure you tell them about it. it will make thier day. :-)
