Guess what. Tomorrow is Saturday. And I'm working.
Thank you Jesus that I have a job :)
But in all seriousness... I am so thankful God provided me with an education that allows me to actually have a job in these crazy economic times. I am truly blessed. If that means working a couple months of Saturdays - I'll be the first to volunteer :)
I have a three New Years Resolutions... feel free to call me out on them. In fact I hope you will.
1. Do at least 2 loads of laundry a week (laundry is my nemesis!)
2. Get to work by 8 am, as often as possible.
3. Make a conscious effort not to complain as much as I used to.
Number 3 is the real challenge here, obviously. I've decided that when I list out the things I typically complain about, those are the exact things for which I SHOULD count myself most blessed. Just mull that one over for a while.
Anyways - in an effort to learn something new every day, here are a few interesting, albeit random, facts I picked up along the way today...
- Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's was adopted, and was a huge advocate of adoption - even starting his own foundation. Thomas also worked for KFC in his early career, turning the business around and can possibly be credited with their long term success. Hmm. Never knew Dave was such a revolutionary.
- All US Circuit City stores are going out of business. The company filed chapter 11 bankruptcy, and attempted to reorganize, but have been left with no choice but liquidation. The bad news: 34,000 people are losing their jobs, and we'll no longer be able to buy great electronics online and go straight to the store to pick them up (this is where I have bought all my cameras.) The good news: Massive Liquidation sales start tomorrow - now's the time to get in and see what you can grab... especially if you have a gift card you need to use.
