Happy Tuesday,
Louis - thanks for starting us. So sorry your vacation is over, it looked like so much fun. I hope the work day wasn’t is bad.
It’s girls beach day! Two of us bought the super German bike locks and we are riding to the beach. No long bus ride today. I am so excited. We are trying a new restaurant today as well.
CBL,
Debbie

Good morning.
What makes the bike locks super?
Re-entry was a bit rough yesterday, but I made it through and am back at it today.
Virginia - I meant to ask, are you being hired by the new folks into the same role you had or are they changing things up?

Hi,
Louis - the lock is heavy and can’t be cut with bolt cutters. The first day back is the worst.
The ride to the beach was a success, the bikes were not stolen.
I’m tired.
Debbie

Happy Tuesday,
Thanks for the daily start, Debbie. I'm glad that you enjoyed your ride to the beach. How was the new restaurant? DH has started riding his bike around the neighborhood daily. I'm glad that he is getting out and getting some activity.
Thanks for our weekly start, Lou. I'm sure it was a bit of a bumpy ride to return after your vacation. Good question about the role with the new company. None of the new hires have received very much info and the position names are pretty generic. It is going to be the same role, at least to begin with.
I'm enjoying the second to last day of vacation. My two appointments from yesterday are good. I'm getting new contact lenses, woo-hoo. They'll be ready to pick up next Monday. I'm going to HM training this evening and will make a quick grocery run on the way home. Probably will wash the car since I will already be hot and sweaty. May as well make that nice shower count extra, right?
Waving hi to Brenda, Vicki and Lori. Hope you are all doing well.
Take care,
Ginia

Good morning.
Seems like they could be doing a little better at the care and feeding of their new hires, Virginia. Especially when dealing with people that were facing job loss. 🙄

Happy Wednesday,
Virginia- happy vacation. I hope you have a great day. The new restaurant was great, we will go there again.
Louis - the bike lock is made by Abus.
The drug myself out of bed at 7am for a walk then body pump.
Then it was laundry, errand and meeting friends for happy hour. Soon everyone is taking holiday and we won’t be together for a while.
Debbie

Hello,
Happy Wednesday!
Lou, I am in hopes we will get more info. I have a feeling we will be drinking from a firehose over the next few weeks. I am also still in hopes that we will see more of our team receive offers at the eleventh hour. I agree with you 100%.
Debbie, enjoy happy hour. DNiece and I are going to a new restaurant today for lunch, I hope our new restaurant experience is as good as yours was at the new place you tried.
Yesterday's HM training was nice, thankfully we had a breeze to help cut through some of the heat/humidity. Today is the last of my vacation days. As mentioned, I have a lunch date with DNiece. I have PT w/o later this afternoon. I'll probably sign on to work this evening to cull through e-mails. My peer is going to be out for the next seven business days, and I definitely need to be as up to speed as possible before hitting the ground running tomorrow morning. Having e-mail at least somewhat tamed will help.
Waving hi to Brenda, Vicki and Lori. I hope that you are all doing well. What are y'all up to these days?
Take care,
Ginia

Hello,
Happy Thursday evening.
Hi, Lou. Nice to see you check in...I hope that you had a good day.
It was back to work today and it ended up being a rather somber day. All of the team except two who hadn't heard from the outsourcing company received rejection letters today. One received an offer late yesterday and the other is on vacation this week, so we don't know about their status. I know that some of the ones who didn't get good news today are still looking seriously elsewhere. I hope that everyone lands in a good spot. The whole team is bummed out about it.
I did HM training tonight after work. I definitely needed to get out and get active after the workday tension.
Waving hi to Debbie, Brenda, Vicki and Lori. Hope y'all are doing well.
Take care,
Ginia

Good morning.
I'm sorry to hear about your team members, Virginia. Prayers that they find something soon.
Debbie sent me a note to let everyone know that she didn't bring the iPad on her trip and can't check in on her phone. Based on her FB pics, she seems to be having a good time.
Cecilia is booked to head to Brazil next Wednesday, so this weekend will probably be spent shopping for last minute stuff.

Happy Sunday,
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend.
Lou, are you out assisting Cecilia with shopping for those travel needs? How excited is she to finally be heading to see her mom and the rest of the fam? Thanks for passing the word about Debbie. She has posted some beautiful pics of her trip on FB. Thanks for the prayers for my displaced teammates. I hope the weekend helps them. Rest and relaxation are needed for sure.
Yesterday was 5 miles of HM training with the group. Even though we started at 7 am and it wasn't hot when we started, I certainly felt very melty by the time we finished. The forecast is bringing more heat and humidity this week. I think we are on track to see our first weather induced training cancellation of this training season on Thursday evening. If the NWS issues a heat advisory, the official training is cancelled.
Today is DH's birthday. I'm going to double check but I don't think he wants to go out to celebrate this evening. Laundry is nearly done, and I intend to get more housework/organizing done today. I dropped off two sizeable bags of items at the Goodwill donation center yesterday after training. That always feels like a nice accomplishment.
Back to work tomorrow, only two weeks left before starting the new gig. There are lots of loos ends to tie up.
Waving hi to Debbie, Brenda, Vicki and Lori.
Take care,
Ginia
