Purchase Order for Pizza?

I typed up a purchase order this morning for some insulation. About 20 minutes after I faxed it over to the vendor, I receive a call that went something like this:
 
Julie: Good morning. This is Julie. How can I help you?
Caller: We just received purchase order XXXX-XXXX for (Vendor).... We are a pizza shop.
Julie: A what shop?
Caller: A pizza shop. We have received about 12 faxes for (Vendor) since yesterday. So I have been calling the people who sent them to us to ensure that they are able to still get their stuff ordered, but that they need to call (Vendor).
Julie: Ok, thanks for letting me know. I will call (Vendor) and see what the problem is.
 
After verifying that the fax number I sent the purchase order to was NOT the fax number for the pizza place, I called (Vendor) to figure out what was going on.
 
Aparantly (Vendor) had been having problems with their fax number/machine/line and forwarded all incoming faxes to their branch in Columbus. But when the person set up the fax forwarding, they accidently put in the pizza company's fax number. That explains why the pizza company had been getting fax orders for insulation, not just pizza....

I'd like an extra large pepperoni and foam insulation. Can I get that with thin crust?

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...
