Two Days Short

Ooops. I never did claim to be perfect though. Tonight after work 3 of us girls ended up going out for Mexican food and margaritas. Oh and they were sooooo good. It was a busy day. Lots of patients today. I also had my yearly review (I've been here almost a year). It went pretty well. My raise sort of sucks but it sort of sucks company wide. It was all pretty much good which I was fairly worried about due to the first 9 months of no one liking me etc. No problems there though and I got some very nice peer evals from some of my coworkers. I also may end up being able to pick up some extra hours which will be nice. It would only likely be a couple hours in the evening after my regular shift is over but it could add up. It would help to make up for the amount I lost in changing jobs and help to fund the FET. So hopefully that works out ok. I could use the extra money. Especially since my bathroom in my house in Washington developed some sort of a leak and affected the entire bathroom. Ugg. Luckily the renter is handy and has been fixing it and getting a good deal on supplies too. That helps.
I'm still working on organizing my recipes. I've tried 3 different soft wares so far. The first I didn't like at all. The second was ok. The third seems more like able so hopefully it will work. I basically have been downloading trials and trying them by entering a few recipes in and seeing how they work. Then I have to combine everything on one. That and trying to organize my house more and get more settled. I get a little more done every weekend. I might someday be able to leave the second bedroom door open. Oh and next weekend (or some evening this week) I need to figure out how to take apart my vacuum and clean the filter thing. I'm supposed to do it like every 6 months and haven't done it yet.
See, that's my boring life lately. Now off to bed.

Glad the review went well. We have really sucky raises, too. It sucks but I figure at least I still have a job so I can't complain.

TB recommends mint.com for money management.

It seems like the new folks you work with are nicer people- are you guys getting out together often?

Even a little raise this year would be nice. I'm hoping with the takeover that we at least get cost of living...

I swear, not five minutes ago, I was telling Hubby how badly I wanted (needed) a margarita.

Let us know when you find a good recipe program. I need something to organize all my random newspaper clippings and scraps of paper.
