Wow, what a day!

Well, today was very interesting. On my way to work this morning (to a meeting, no less) I hit some sort of road hazard with my car. The car seemed fine so I proceeded to my meeting. When I got out of the car, my front tire was hissing and getting flatter by the minute. So, I was meeting my boss here but she was running late, and I was a mile or so from my cousin's garage that he runs. I ran inside and asked the girl at the restaurant to give my boss a note if she came that said I had to take my car before the tire was completely flat and I'd just drop it off and walk right back. I also told her where my cousin's garage was and that if she didn't want to wait or was just feeling nice to come get me. So, I drove to the garage, dropped my car off and started walking back. She did find me, which was sweet. And we went back and actually had a great meeting. I just love my boss. She's absolutely great and wonderful to work for.

I was a little terrified about the repair bill for my car because I wasn't sure if it'd done more damage or not. I figured if I were lucky I'd get off with a new tire, which sucked because that tire WAS a new tire. Oh well. However, when I went to pick my tire up it was only $5 because apparently whatever I hit had just somehow ripped the valve stem on the tire. I guess all those prayers as I walked back to work from the garage paid off!

Work is so busy right now. We are all working so hard, but surprisingly the stress levels don't seem to be too high yet. Our little team works very well together, and we make sure we have time for fun too. Since Stephanie got there, we stop whatever we are doing at 3 p.m. every Friday (and sometimes other times) to dance to whatever song's on the radio. Great stress reliever and gives us the energy to make it those last two hours before the weekend.

Oh, my point? I love my team. They're great. Not just today, but everyday. I think it's important to still have fun even when you're all under a lot of pressure and working very hard.

I'll post the song of the day when I get home. I'm off to the funeral home for my uncle's calling hours. Just one more thing to add to this not-so-great day.
