Going Away Party

Friday night was lots of fun and a little bit of sadness. Erin organized a going away party at the Dubliner and quite a few people showed up. Saying goodbye before your actual last day of work is a little odd but I am the crazy one who chose a Monday as my last day. I did it kind of intentionally. I think I would have been insanely sad on Friday to have to clean out my desk and then go the party. Instead, I focused on Friday cleaning up my emails, computer, files, and just mentaling preparing.  Eric and I went shopping right before the party because he had a stain on his shirt and I needed pants. Rob & I's laundry hadn't yet been picked up. 

It was a nice evening and didn't get too cold so we sat on the patio and eventually the heaters got turned on. Lots of guiness, heff, and car bombs were enjoyed. The Dubliner really has a laid back atmosphere. I had to say goodbye to Mr Crocker and is was really sad. On the plus side, I probably will see him when I am in TO right before flying out. He also gave Rob and I a framed picture of himself in Instanbul. (It was a really good angle of his crotch - haha) 

Below is a little slideshow of some of the decent pictures that came out.

Jello Pranksters

I have been meaning to blog about a little prank E & I pulled at work and when Tyler was gone on vacation. Any fans of the office are going to appreciate this. We encased some of his most prized "office supplies" in jello. Extra gelatin was necessary to pull this one off. Here are some pics....

He took it pretty well. I am also trying a new slideshow feature on the blog!

I passed!

I passed!!!! You can officially call me a LEED Accredited Professional! WooHoo!

I was so nervous all last night and this morning. I was especially nervous to press that button on the screen that said "Done", since I knew the results would be instantaneous. As the questions seemed to get harder and harder in the middle of the test my confidence that I had it nailed got smaller and smaller. 

The woman next to me seemed to be clicking her mouse really loudly and fast as if she was skipping a bunch of questions. She also coughed a ton and it was hard to ignore.  I took the test at one of those testing centers where not everyone is taking the same test and there are multiple exams going on at once. The girl next to me in the waiting room was taking the CPA exam and a few students in the waiting room were studying for the GRE. I think I might have been the only person to be taking the LEED exam.

I am looking forward to work on Tuesday and telling everyone I passed. Most of my immediate coworkers already know. Brian, Shawn, and Toni asked me to text them right away. They all texted back within a matter of minutes with congratulations.

Off to more adventures. I am glad I have this behind me!

Trailer Zoo

*Trailer Caos From My Desk*

* Too Many People In the Trailer*

The trailer reminded me of a zoo today. Lots of wild animals. Even a sub who likes to visit just to eat candy commented about the caos. Haha.

Going to SD tonight to celebrate with Ana and wish her many birthday wishes.

Saturday brings wedding wishes to our receptionist - it's going to be beautiful and so will she.
