One more week.....

One more week (actually 6 days but who's counting?) until I am actually in Albany, New York. Most of our plans are getting more and more set in stone. There are places that Dustin and I both want to go, so we'll get as much of that done as possible. I was doing some research and it costs either $14 or $18 to go to the top of the Empire State Building and look out from the observation deck. I am sure that it is a spectacular view...but is it worth that kind of money? I dunno. When it is all said and done, it's still just looking out the window of a big, tall building. Will I go? We'll see.

Definitely want to go see the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero and Central Park. Time Square is of course a natural. If any of you have been to NYC and have other suggestions, let me know. I may even try to take in a museum or two. Most of it just depends on time, and walking distance. I am getting more and more excited.

Tomorrow is gonna be a crazy day. I have to do my regular duties at work, and then it is off to the college with my regional HR rep for a job fair. So I will be pretty packed in until 1 or 2p.m. Add to that the fact that due to the job fair, I have to bail on a conference call with the Regional Director of Operations, and it's just gonna be a lovely day LOL. Adrian, my direct supervisor suggested that after the job fair I come back to work at 430p.m. for the second conference call but I told him no way. The thing is, I am considered part-time. I am paid salary, based on a 30 hour work week (or less). If I do that, then that will have me at about 13 hours tomorrow. I told him I would do it if he covers me on Saturday since I will be WAY over my hours by then, he said no...so I said no too. Simple as that. I put in far more hours than I am "paid for" as it is...and to add to my already stretched work load would be unfair. So, they will just have to gimme a run down later.

By the way, the lip is healing up very nicely. I still have a small knot/swelling on my upper lip but it's nothing major and it is going down in size. Thanks to all of ya who called and checked on me. Thanks for all of the jokes on my inability to say certain words too. That was MUCH appreciated :) LOL It's all good though.

I'll leave ya with a good one today. Go read the 23rd Psalm. I sometimes read it during frustrating times, and it reminds me of who is actually in charge and leading my path :)
