Vacation over!

So today I go back to work after my 1 day vacation which wasn't.  I got in about 7:20 on Friday and just punched in so I could get started with the information needed by the guy who was coming out to the facility that day.  And of course, he didn't show up until almost 9 so since I didn't know exactly what he was looking for that meant I was working on day-to-day stuff to kill time.  When I walked in I had to play 20 questions with everyone who knew I was supposed to be off as to why I was there.

Did the conference call, then sat with this other guy for 2 and a half hours going through SAP and taking screens of different transactions at work and at different moments in theprocess.  I finally got out at 11:30.  Heh, a couple times when someone would walk past my desk I would ask them if they were going to ask me how I was enjoying my day off.  But in the end I got paid for the entire shift and was given my vac day back so that worked out fairly I thought.

Now, Thursday night after I left work I made a stop at a local La Z Boy dealer and scouted out a new couch.  I knew our bonus check (and my tax refund) would be in my account the next day so time to get new furniture.  I wound up getting a 3-cushion reclining sofa with the fold-down cushion tray and a nice big comfy recliner.  Tossed in 5 year fabric warranties on both and an extra $50 for the delivery guys to take out my old couch as well.  Did some wheeling and dealing (they had a no sales tax sale among other deals) and got the guy to take another $220 off the whole thing, so I got a good deal overall.  So as soon as I got off Friday I headed straight up there to pay off the furniture.

They brought the furniture yesterday morning, so bonus.  I wasn't so picky about the color so I was willing to take what was in stock at the warehouse.  The delivery guys were fast but sloppy.  They knocked the doorknob off my pantry in the kitchen and almost broke the hallway light and this mirror my neighbor had hanging in the hallway.  Anyway it feels weird actually sitting on good furniture for a change.  Its nice and comfy but I don't really have the room I want for both pieces.  I might post pics to illustrate that later.

Ok, off to the showers then to work with me.  Have a good one.
