happiness of the day
no, i wasn't told not to come in. i still had to give up my day off. and no, the happiness is not that i get time and a half for today. the happiness is that the happy thing i said would not happen today, happened today. :)
last night, while whining to chelley about having to go into work today, i listed all the things about today that would suck: i had to go in on my day off, we would still be short-staffed, it was grocery day, etc. i also added that there was no way good-looking maintenance guy would be coming in for anything. he's been around some lately for snow removal, and happily, he has gained some weight and no longer looks ill. in fact, i would venture to say that he is once again good-looking. no more does he look permanently 43, but he does look like a handsome 50. and he's still fun and flirty. but it would not snow today, so there would be no redeeming factor to having to go in.
and so we survived breakfast, and, after warning them things would probably change when they commented on how surprisingly non-crabby i was, i gradually got crabbier the more work we had to do, the more i saw my lunch break floating away, and the hungrier i got.
and then, at about 10:30, who should pop his head in but good-looking maintenance guy. he was there to pick up our facility's van to bring to our sister facility, and to ask if we had pancakes. sadly i had to tell him no, but i did say that he should come back tomorrow, as that is when they are next on the menu. (although, now that i think about it, they might not be - 1 out of every 5 wednesdays is biscuits and gravy instead.) he then wished us a happy new year and went on his way.

and, of course, immediately after this interlude, the cook accused me of being a "flirter." what can i say? at least it put me in a better mood for the rest of the day.

Isn't it amazing what a friendly face can do??? ;-)
or a friendly voice. my mother's a flirter, too. good-looking maintenance guy called before he came to ask if someone would warm up the van so it would be ready when he got there. when my mother answered the phone, he asked how she was doing, to which she replied, 'better, now that you called.' :)
Ha! I love that you get your flirter skills from your mom. ;)
Hey, since I got you hooked on Chuck (*sigh*), I thought I'd see if you know this guy as well. Do you know Matthew Bomer? Also known as Bryce Larkin from Chuck, or more recently, the guy on White Collar. I just saw a clip of him singing and if he actually liked girls, I might think he's even cuter than Chuck himself.
But he doesn't.
Hurray for the happiness of the day!
Katie was VERY pleased with the picture of Prince Daniel and Princess Victoria that you sent her!! Thank you!!
We can still find the video of their waltz and some speaches but the abstract seems to have disappeared from SVT. Any idea where I could find something more comprehensive?
mary - bryce is too pretty for me. i didn't know he doesn't like girls, but i guess i'm not surprised.
kimberly - sorry, the postcard was supposed to be in the mail 6 months ago, but i forgot, then lost it, so it was a bit delayed. i don't know where you can find wedding stuff now.
