Eminent Domain

Well, I've always heard the term eminent domain, and now I'm having my first experience with it. Our local government has evoked it, and is taking my office building and tearing it down. So, we will have to move. We have now been thrust into searching for new office space. I now have a big project in front of me. I'm sad in a way because we invested so much time and money into remodeling and moving into our suite just 4 years ago. I'm excited because, well, it's exciting - finding a new location, designing a new space, etc.

It will be a lot of hard work - but I've done it before.

Work Woes

There's a lot of stress at the office lately, we're short handed, and I've "inherited" some new duties until a replacement can start. A good friend of mine, Edna, accepted the position, and she starts on February 2nd. I'm looking forward to the help, and most of all, I'm looking forward to working with Edna - she's smart, she's a hard worker, she's fun, and she makes me laugh.

Back to the real world

It was back to work today, business as usual. Now that I've got the end of the year corporation close done, I can concentrate on other projects. I worked steadily all day, feeling good, getting things done. Before I knew it, it was almost 7 pm, so I packed it up and headed for home. Felt good leaving work with a sense of accomplishment instead of a sense of being overwhelmed.

Did ya happen to watch the Sugar Bowl last night?!?! GO DAWGS!!! Just in case you don't know the score, the University of Georgia Bulldogs beat Hawaii 41-10!

Can't believe it, but our forecasat calls for 10 degrees F tonight! It got into the 20's last night, and is supposed to be in the teens again tomorrow night. The wind was strong today, it was hard crossing the street when I walked over to the bank. Winter kind of snuck up on us - we were wearing short sleeves just the other day.
