Well, really on my mark! Tomorrow is the big day. The first day of July and the Survivor Quilt Challenge! I was afraid that work was going to get in the way of the first few days for me. I actually thought that I wouldn't be able to sew until maybe Wednesday night, but probably not until Thursday. I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised at work today.
I had some information that I needed to get and some projects in order and balanced. When I left one of the projects yesterday, I was out of balance by more than $6000, but since the project was around $92,000,000 in total activity, I wasn't too worried about it. I am happy to report that every last project is in balance to the very last penny! I still have a lot of clean up work to get done tomorrow, but I am confident that it won't be too late of a night and I will be able to come home and get started on my hours for the month.
I was also teasing the big boss about the amount of work that has gone into balancing these projects. We had a meeting this morning and once my boss told him how much work I have been doing to get them balanced, I said, "Ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie dough. I'm just gonna put it out there." Well, when the big boss went to leave tonight and I was still working, he stopped and said, "Ice cream, right?" My co-worker said that she will crap herself if he brings me in ice cream. She has worked there a long time and doesn't believe that he will do it. It will totally crack me up though if he does!
OK, I guess that I should get some rest so that I can get to work early and get started! Wish me luck on the challenge!
