Ever have one of those days?

June 15th, 2006 at 06:57 pm

I've had the worst day at work today. I knew I should have stayed in bed! Frown I made an error that cost my department some money. My boss said not to sweat it (she's a great boss) we all make mistakes. But I just hate to cost our department money. Usually the mistakes I and my co-workers make can be fixed at no or very little cost, but that wasn't the case today. We fixed it and the travelers were able to get a flight, so on that end it worked out okay, but it cost us money to get it done. When I get home I'm having a drink! And that's saying something because I don't normally drink...

On a brighter note, I paid $1000 to the credit card that has the highest balance and interest rate today! That's $300 more than what we budget for, Tim's overtime is a real big help. Also, he was going to work OT tonight but he decided to stay home, so I get to see him all night tonight (he works overnight). Overtime money is nice, but I do like to see my husband now and then too! Smile

Another help is that June is an "extra paycheck" month for us. We both get paid on Friday, Tim is every week and I get paid every other week. June has 5 Friday's so Tim gets 5 checks and I get 3, that's two more paychecks than we get most months. This happens 2 times a year for me and 4 times a year for Tim. We budget based on 6 paychecks (4 for Tim and 2 for me) every month, because that is what we get most months. So the extra checks are like "found" money that we don't budget for. I love that extra money! Smile I feel like it's just really rolling in this month. Wish it did that every month... Wink

Tomorrow is Friday, I can't wait for this week to be over. Hopefuly it will be quiet at the office the rest of today and all day tomorrow, I couldn't handle another crisis.

    Sounds like you're too conscientious to ever really screw up, so don't worry too much.

    fern,

    Thanks, but I really did screw up on this! Blush Well, it wasn't 100% my fault, my mistake should have been caught by other people and it wasn't. But it was my mistake to begin with! It wouldn't have been so bad if it had cost us so much money...

    But thanks for the words of encouragement! Smile
