Today at work I got a pleasant surprise while I was leaving!! Little did I know I would be receiving a Bonus check from my company!!! I have to say Merry Christmas to me!! See the last year has been very trying. We lost 2 physicians and the Physicians Assistant and I held the fort down for the last year. Stressful huh?? I thought no one cared. No one cared that we were busting our butts trying to keep the practice from going under. But today, the thoughts have changed a bit!
I also got my evaluation today and I have to say it was a good one and I will be getting my raise!! Woot!
On the other side of it, I have an interview in the ICU Next Thursday...BIG DECISIONS to make now!!
Enough about work!!
Tonight I was going to go get my swim on at my local gym. Let me tell you I cannot stand Friday nights mainly because they do not have day care open and they Close the Pool at 7PM!!! Little did I know the Pool Would be closed!! I was not happy when I got to the gym at 6:45 to see the pool would be closing in 15 min!! I hyperventilated, looked at the paperwork at the gym again like it was some mistake, looked around and said screw it Im leaving!!
I was so upset that I would be missing my swim because I feel like Im getting stronger in this aspect and really want to see how I nail those workouts!! Wed I did my 5X100s (meters) in 1:45!!! That is 15 sec faster than last week! I was feeling good so I ran with it! I love those days!!
I still got my Functional strength training in tonight. At least I got something in!!
Tomorrow I have a 1:15 ride on tap and According to the weather it will be either a cycling class or trainer ride as it is supposed to be wet and Snowy and I don't do well on my bike with that! Running maybe!!

Gah! Did you say "snowy"?!?!? Keep that stuff away! haha!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been so frustrating to get all the way to the gym, just to have to turn around and go back home! Bummer!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Snow?? We've been so lucky not to have snow yet, but I know it's just a matter of time!
Yay for bonuses and raises! Boo for the pool closing early!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the bonuse and raise! That is always welcome news!
ReplyDeleteYuck to snow! We are supposed to get some next week and I am not happy about that!
One of the things I don't miss about upstate NY is the snow. I still have nightmares of the blizzard when I was in Oswego and seeing snow plowed to the tops of lightposts in the parking lot on campus.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff on the bonus, raise and great review.
My pool has crappy hours too and I HATE it!! I'm constantly rearranging my schedule around the frickin' pool!
ReplyDeleteYAY for the bonus and good evaluation at work!! congrats!
