Week end drawing to a close

Our long week end is drawing to a close. In the morning it will be back to the grind stone (At Least for 3 days next week.

Month end, year end. I am sure there are a lot of reports that I will need to do.
The boss will want to go to Florida on the 7th of January and he likes to see as many of these reports he can before he goes.
Will I be able to get them all done? Don't Know.
My question to me is "Do you remember all the reports that need to be done?"
I don't think I have written down all the reports that I need to do at year end before the books go to the auditors for tax time. Sometimes I think I'd best make myself a list to refer to, but have really never sat down and did it. Somehow I always manage to remember all of them and they all get done in due time.

My first priorities in the morning will be doing the time book from last weeks time cards as I know one of the first reports he likes to see is the Productivity Report.
Who has been productive in 2008 and who has been a slacker?

This reminds me of a report I saw years ago, when he graded everybody on a scale from 1-10. I was being compared to his own daughter...wow.... Appearance....well daaaa...of course she got a great grade. I don't specialize in make up and perfume. But I do know my clothes are clean and presentable.

But when it came to Dependability......OH YES ! I out ranked her!!!!
I've always said, I am not at that office for my looks --- I am there to work and do my job. People will just simply have to accept me for being me.

I don't remember all the other categories that he had on his list, but these two have always stuck out to me. It also makes me know, Never judge a person by their looks. (Never judge a book by it's cover--- it might be a great book). And the personalities and characters of people, they may be the sweetest people you know.

It's been a wonderful 4 days away from the office. But Monday morning, back to reality. You have a job to do - so off to work we go.

But before the day comes to a end. I will join the church ladies at Carlos O'Kelly's for our December meeting. We postponed it from the week day night that it was scheduled for due to the ice and snow. So, we still have another Christmas celebration to go to. With a white elephant gift exchange. It could prove to be rather interesting. But always so much fun.! Don't know if we will make it to Sunday evening service at church or not. The Gates family is singing tonight. And since Amy and I went to Red Lobster for Lunch, I do believe it will be desert only at Carlos....FRIED ICE CREAM HERE I COME..........Diet must start tomorrow.
