Sorry about your week :-(

Thanks. The cheeseburger and beer helped!

It worked for me! I felt much better! Sorry the appraisal didn't go as well as you hoped. That's the worst. At least you had an office you could have cried in. We're open plan at my office, so I would have looked like an idiot!

Yes, the cheeseburger helped!  ;D
We're open plan as well, but everyone was gone, so i *could* have cried undetected, but i pulled myself together and managed to get through the night tear-free!  :)

1. Friday, Friday, Friday!  :D
2. I'm broke until Monday - but I'll be broke then, too as soon as I pay bills.  :-\\\\
3. Think I flubbed my science mid term last night - won't know until next week.
4. The job I applied for two weeks ago today said I would hear something by today...fingers crossed. Since I have not heard until now I'm not that confident I got it. [smiley=anxious.gif]
5. We are babysitting DD's friend tomorrow and I am so not looking forward to it - the kids has no manners and only knows one volume - top of her lungs.  :-X

3. It's lovely and sunny today, but supposed to rain all stupid weekend.
4. My day started off with an earthquake for an alarm clock.

1. TGIF! 8)

2. My work schedule finally reverts to normal next week - phew! After a month of being all over the place (and working extra hours) for various reasons, so I can get back into some home/side projects that were put on hold for the past month. :)

3. No plans this weekend - save snuggling in with DH (for what looks to be yet more cold & miserable weather). [smiley=love.gif]

4. I need to start training again (soon!) because I'm going to walk 70 miles in one week in June. :o

5. I need a drink! :P

There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

Wow!!

1.  I am very hungry right now and dinner isn't for two more hours. :P
2.  I'll be working overtime next week, but at least I have Saurday and Sunday off this weekend. :)
3.  My hubby just made me a cup of tea. [smiley=smitten.gif]
4.  I will probably fall asleep on the couch tonight because I only had 3 hours sleep last night. :P
5.  We will be driving over to MiL's in Manchester in a little while.

1.) Currently in sunny, warm, Miami, Florida- not looking forward to going to the cold UK tonight
2.) Flying back to the UK tonight on Virgin Atlantic's UpperClass - ahhh that's the life- but it sucks when you fly business class on business but have to go back to coach when you travel on your own because you can't afford the £2500!
3.) I presented and won my award this week :) :) :)
4.) Funny how it takes 1 full day to get to Inverness from the east coast of the US
5.) I may finally get to pick up the car I bought this weekend!
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

Happy end of April Friday.  Time is flying by!

Great day so far, despite spilling coffee all over myself this morning
1.) Took my Theory/Hazard Perception test this morning and passed, thank god.  It stressed me out to no end. Funny enough, I passed the hazard perception test very easily, but really suck at knowing what UK road signs mean. 
2.) Got a passing grade on Module 101 of my British Sign Language Course, which is great, it means I can continue onto the next level and hopefully continue into my full certification in British Sign Language. 
3.) Due to issues with insurance, I haven't been able to get my car yet.  But it will definitely be ready on Sunday, so I will finally be able to drive!
4.) Back to having to have late night Friday meetings with California
5.) Going to Ullapool next weekend for a Feis (musical festival)- going to learn to play some celidah music on my fiddle!   :) :) :)
