Mood:
sadThe first weekend back from India was nice - I got to see all 4 of the offspring. Gave them all the goodies that I brought back. I didn't spend as much as what I did the last go round. Still was able to buy Becky a nice perl necklace. Joe must have had a growth spurt while I was gone. He is beginning to approach my height. He looks to be around 6 feet tall or close to it.
It was a somber day at work last Thursday, a black Thursday for us. We still aren't outsourced enough. They let loose some folks in other departments earlier that week, and we got it on Thursday. In our immediate group we lost 3 people. Our sister group lost 2. It was quiet as a funeral Thursday afternoon. Then to add insult to injury, the Senior VP sends out an email stating that the company is sending out an employee satisfaction survey! Gee, I wonder what our groups response to that one is going to be? Talk about rubbing salt in our wounds.
The Deeters are doing fine at our house. It is different to have a little one running about the house again. Oh how they learn by watching. I was logging in from home to do some work over the weekend. I left the window up when I had to leave. Vanessa found her tapping on the keyboard. She was worried what mischief she may have caused. I had ended the internet session, I think... She also likes the remote controls, you don't dare leave one laying about.
Joe got all passing grades on his first report card. Chelsea seems to be doing well at Sinclair. Vanessa is going to come to ball practice on Tuesday for an hour. Just to help work with the girls. I asked both Vanessa and Chelsea to come for a day or two in the preseason.
