Training for someone else's maternity leave

    So I have 10.5 weeks left till one of the lady's in my office goes on maternity leave. We will be having bi-weekly meetings to make sure that we are prepared for her departure and extended absence. She is due December 7, but depending on lots of different factors (if she goes early or goes on time or late, weather or not she has a C-section, etc) she could be gone anywhere from the week of Thanksgiving to the middle or end of January. So I am in the process of being trained on some of the things she does. A lot of it I already know how to do, but some of it is stuff I haven't needed to know because she has been here (payroll, hiring process for the shop, etc.)
    The next several months will be very busy for me at work.... but I know I can do it
    *added bonus info: I was talking with my boss a few weeks ago about when I needed to use my last vacation day before I lost it. she informed me that I had till the end of the year to use it, but October 27th =(my 1 year mark with the company) I will get an additional week (5 days) vacation (yeah!) that need to be used by the end of the year because.... .... .... I GET ANOTHER 2 WEEKS (10 days) COME JANUARY 1st!
    It is easier for the company to have everyone's vacations start on January 1st rater than to try and track all the different start dates and year marks for everyone.
    **double bonus info!!!! If I don't plan to use the days by like the middle of December, I get any unused days paid out to me (talk about Christmas Bonus!$$)

New Printer?!?!?!?!?

Can it be true? I'm getting a new printer at work?!?!?! I realize this might not be as exciting for you as it is for me. but what you must understand is that I have the oldest computer at work... by like 3 years or more (and in computer age, 3 years is a long time!) I've only been without a printer for like 3 days at work, but even when I did have a color printer, it didn't print on cardstock which ment I couldn't print the business cards, or the time cards. Now I can print color things at my desk that I would either have to have someone else print, or I would have to print them on the other side of the building, meaning I would have to go to the other side of the building, load the correct paper product in the printer, go back to my desk to hit the print button, back to the printer to collect the printed items, then back to my desk to do whatever I had planned on doing with it. (that is if I remember what I was going to do with it)

I am His. As I pulled into camp today, I was listening to some LDS Hymns. When I pulled my car by the lodge, these words were sung: Fear Not, I am with thee oh be not dismayed for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand up heals by my righteous omnipotent hand.

Rough Day

I can't say it's entirely been rough... just the last 20 minutes. The rest of my weekend was great! (that's for a happier blog post later.) As I was on my way home from a birthday party, I realized tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I don't want to. Going along with that is I'm sick of my job and I'm sick of complaining about my job. I'm grateful for the ability I have to work and provide for myself. I really am. But this last year, it's been really rough. Between a new boss and new rules and procedures I just dont want to be there anymore. I really dont! I'm sick of disliking Sunday nights so much because I know what the next day will bring. Frustration, anxiety, loathing, genereal dislike, feeling underappreciated. I dont know how much more of this job I can take! I was so worked up about this on the way home that I was crying. Then when I walked in the door of my house, I was to the point of being angry. I practicly threw...
