I said WHAT????

Well, today I received a quite disturbing phone call from my supervisor informing me that a co-worker from another office had expressed a few concerns to her...about me. She then went on to tell me that that this employee said that I had said all kinds of rude things during a conversation we had last week. After I recovered from being stunned, I asked my supervisor to tell me what I had supposedly said...the words that she spoke after that point were absolutely appalling to me.

The very crazy thing is that most of the things I supposedly said were originally uttered by the person who made the accusations against me. I am a bit confused here, I must admit. First of all, the conversation that I remember having did not even involve any matters that were confidential...in fact, my assistant was in the next room and heard pretty much the whole conversation.

Why is it that people cannot just do their jobs? Why do people try to make themselves look better by trashing others? I just cannot even comprehend why on earth this even occurred today. I put my entire heart & soul into my job & always try to do everything to the best of my ability. All of my actions are to improve our team and the service that we give to our customers. It is completely absurd how my words have been so badly twisted that there is not even a shred of truth in them.

Even with everything that happened today, and after venting to my mom and several close friends, I have come to a conclusion...God is still on His throne. No matter what happens, no matter what people may say, in the end, God is still God & He is still in control. The events of today do not change that, nor do they change how I feel about myself. I do everything to the glory of God and as long I know I have been true to that...in then end, nothing else matters.

Peace Out,
Jenni :)

Waste not...want not

Today, I had a manager's meeting...yes, I am a manager of...well, something. Anyway, the only thing I can say about today was that it was a complete waste of time. For the first hour or so, our regional manager was out running errands...and then after lunch, they decided to have a Mary Kay party. That's right, Mary Kay...and on top of that, I was not allowed to leave. First of all, I cannot wear MK because I am slightly allergic to it...and secondly, I have actual work to do rather than spending an entire day that was a waste of time.

I really wonder what the president of the company would think about this wasteful attitude. What was even better was when my regional asked me why I wanted to leave & I told her that I had work to do...she then proceeded to ask me what. WHAT? Now, this is the same woman who came to do an inspection last week and gave me a huge list of things that she wanted me to do...so WHAT ON EARTH COULD I POSSIBLY HAVE TO DO? I am really confused here.

Can anyone save me from this horrific downward spiral of time wasters?

"Have you thanked God today?"

Ok...to begin, I must vent for just a moment. This morning @ 8am, I awoke to the obnoxiously loud sound of lawn mowers just outside my window...so not cool! Do landscaping companies know the only day I have to sleep in? Are there satellites or cameras beaming down into my brain looking for such information? If not, the thought that it is just coincidence is completely absurd. Well, at least it was an exciting way to begin the day...annoying, but exciting none the less.

So, after some cereal ~ wishing I had strawberries or peaches for color and oh-so-yummy sweetness ~ I have finally named my site & the world of Everyday Excitement is born! What exactly is Everyday Excitement, you may ask? Well, I believe in celebrating daily! Those celebrations could be for a number of things, both large and small...I think the smaller they are, the more dear to my heart they become. I have a sign by my front door that I look at each time I leave that says "Have you thanked God today?"...to me, it's the same thing.

If it's raining outside & I can get to the car without getting wet...WOO HOO ~ celebration time, baby! Or, I so have to get a bank deposit in by 2pm, and there are 3 people in line ahead of me with exactly 3 min. 25 sec. left, and the bank tellers fingers are moving at light speed...it's finally my turn in line and my transaction goes throught without a snag! I walk out of the bank, look at my receipt and the time on it is 2:01pm with a processing date of TODAY...WOO HOO ~ time to celebrate again!

It's the small things in life that keep me going...so, thank God today for His everyday excitement!

Adios,
Jenni :)
