AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 8/29/2004 08:19:00 PM ----- BODY: last week sucked ass at work. not only did i have to work on my birthday, but it was a murphy's law kinda week. everything that could possibly go wrong at work did. monday was crazy busy and i was in the office with 3 temps as everyone else was at a training seminar. i had 2 loans that i had to get documents out on and one of them was in florida, so i had the 3 hour time difference to deal with. i got done what i needed to, but it was a big pain in the ass. the day wasn't all bad, as i got to have birthday cake for lunch. heh. i figured that the rest of the week would be fairly easy as the 3 other loans that were going to be funding had already had documents sent to escrow. boy was i wrong. first, we got a call that one of our remaining 3 loans wasn't going to fund because it had been cancelled. my boss and i were like wtf? we didn't cancel the loan. apparently the funding department had called the escrow company and were told that the people didn't sign, etc. so funding cancelled the loan without contacting me or my boss to double check. needless to say, we were pissed. we got it all straightened out, but it was not a fun time. then our other 2 loans were in danger of having the rate lock expire. i swear. when it rains, it pours. as if that wasn't bad enough, i screwed up a file that i sent down, and while i was able to rectify the mistake, it upset me a great deal. i take a lot of pride in doing my job well and i still can't believe that i fucked up that bad. my boss was great about it though. still, i stressed myself to the point that i gave myself a headache. i guess that comes from being a perfectionist. oh well. i know i'll NEVER make that mistake again. the weekend turned out much better than the week was. friday i just stayed home and chilled out. saturday i met my friend for a belated birthday lunch at claim jumper. after screwing up the appetizer and my meal (not once, but twice) my friend actually bought me a birthday root beer. (after all the mistakes, my meal and our appetizer was free. oh well.) we went to the movies and saw the village. can anybody who's seen this movie explain it to me? my friend saw one thing at the end and i saw another. i need another opinion! it was a damn weird movie. she gave me my present and it was awesome. i still think it was a little much, but she gave me a $200 gift card to gene juarez salon & spa. i'm not quite sure what i'm going to have done (massage, facial, etc) but i'm sure it will be relaxing and enjoyable. on the river boy front, i think that is pretty much over and done with. it's not turning out to be as much fun as i thought it would be. oh well. i guess it was fun while it lasted. i hope this week goes fast. tomorrow i am going to the prince concert in seattle with a friend that's in the fan club and we'll be going to the after party in the hopes that his "purple highness" will show up. i'll let you know. i guess the chances are pretty slim seeing as how he's added a show and is doing another one on tuesday night. we'll see though. it should be fun even if he doesn't show up. i can't even remember the last time i was at a concert, so i'm really looking forward to it. the only thing i'm looking forward to more is the 3 day weekend! --------
