Almost there, and sliding down hill

"It's all downhill from here."...or so they keep saying at work.  Yeah, it's slowing down, but there are so many last-minute stress-out moments, and they keep me stressed.  Every order we shipped yesterday got delivered today....some of them with problems.  That means, I pull the file, have something reprinted, and ship it out.  They still get it before Christmas.

We made the second part of our three-part incentive.  All local orders were finished today.  That means that they are on deliveries in the morning.  Only one part to meet.  We must not go over 4% remakes by Friday.  Let's all hold our breath!

Today, I received another cool gift.  I HUGE cheesecake, in a styrofoam cooler on dry ice, all the way from Georgia....McDonough, I think.  It got stowed away in mom's freezer for my houseload of company New Year's weekend.  I also got two cans of Pringles from my secret santa...boy, they know me pretty well!

We will go Christmas shopping Friday night.  We have a sitter and it's all planned out.  We are limited enough on funds that we were going to grab a cheap burger for dinner...but not now!  Another customer sent me a $50 gift card to the Outback.  WooooHoooooo!  Now we get a dinner that we can NEVER afford on our own, and we don't have to pay.  Thank you, dear customer in Texas.  What a sweetie.

Yeah, people are letting me know that I do a good job.  I appreciate it.  I appreciate being appreciated.  ROFL  Life's good, and I'm almost done...almost there....2 days from a 5-day weekend.  Ahhhhhhh.

Oh, and one more thing.  I found a funny site.  Have a hi-res head shot handy somewhere, and visit this site.  It seems to think that I resemble Charleton Heston.  WELL!  I NEVER!  Oh well, it's the internet, after all.

You sure you want to hide that at your mothers?  Dieters are the worst people to store sweets with you know.  I know because I can smell chocolate in the freezer if I even think of going on a diet.  lol

That site said I looked like Frank Zappa. I posted the pic I used in my blog at JAD, if you're curious.
