     Wow another long day. glad it's over. I'm home I've cranked up the heater to combat the cold seeping into our windows. We sorely need new ones. I am already excited for spring and winter just started with it's bitter cold and icy snow. I feel likes it's been going on for months but it really hasn't. I'm sure we haven't seen the worst of it yet either. So far it has managed to snow either after I get home or before I leave work and they have it cleared before I have to drive. It hasn't been bad so far though, knock on wood.
    Work was work it was long and boring although it wasn't as slow as yesterday so I was busier after all and that always makes the time go faster. They gave us 2 movie tickets today at work,  To celebrate the end of the year they said. I'll take it. I think I've gotten more from them this year than in most years past.   I got picked for a 100 dollar gift card at the holiday party, then they gave us 50 dollar gift cards to honey baked ham for Christmas and now we got the movie tickets. I hope that keeps up. I don't mind them giving me extra money.   It is one of the few perks we enjoy there. I used to get the monthly incentive every month for highest commission but no longer get that because our call type doesn't earn commission. They do however still make us take those calls however.  Just like they refuse to give me my promotion but make me do the same work without the higher pay and then when I complain they write me up and refuse my promotion again. It's a good time there. They say they have the worst communication on the surveys and they don't understand. It's because everyone is afraid to say anything for fear of being written up and punished. Nobody wants to lose their job over an opinion but we shouldn't fear speaking up if we need to.
    Christmas is this weekend and while everyone is excited for the holiday I'm actually excited for the four day weekend. Two days paid!!  Yes!!  I have plans all day Friday, Saturday and probably Sunday but Monday and Tuesday are mine. Don't know what I want to do yet but it won't involve going to any kind of party or get together. I'm going to have my fill of hosting parties by the time Christmas is over and we still have New Years the next weekend.   I'm exhausted and glad that it's almost over although then a new year of birthday parties starts up. That's exhausting as well....  Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky. .. Ya that's probably it.  I'll be a cat lady soon ha ha
