Ray is SUPER nice. I see him once a week (he only works weekends). I'll make sure to tell him we've met!OMG Denise,,,,Stephanie and I are riding with him from WDW to the Ship and then back. We are so excited because we are doing one meet called Capture the Magic and it looks to be a lot of fun. We cannot wait to meet Ray. He seems like such a nice person..
Our church does a Christmas play that Emma really wanted to have a speaking part in. Well because practice falls at the exact same time as her Girl Scout meetings she can't have a speaking part. She does however get to sing in it and some of the kids have been picked to play the handbells. Since that practices on Tuesday nights she is going to do that and is very excited!!
While she was at the church I went up to her GS meeting to get all the stuff I needed for the Cookie Booth sale we are doing tonight. Please pray that I survive 3 hours in the cold with the girls, the first 1 1/2 of which I will be by myself with 4 or 5 girls!Oh and the most fun part~ I get to drive a full size, 9 passenger van that has all the cookies in it. The one mom has the cookies loaded up in it and since she lives on my street I get the fun job of driving it. She can't get there to later as she recently started a new job and can't ask for time off. I hate driving my mini van so I imagine driving this big of a van will not be fun at all.
I am off to work on Emma's costume a bit more. I am almost finished with it.
Good morning, DDA!
I know it is afternoon, but it took me this long to get on here. I think the wireless card on my laptop has gone bad. I had to ferret out an ethernet cable and hook up that way. Anyone ever replace the wireless card? Any idea if it is difficult? Or do you think I need to take this thing into the shop and wait forever for it to be returned???
There was a cas tmember team. I sat this game out.
Let's just say I had a blast and stayed out till the music stopped every night. I had cast members and other guests stopping me all over the place. Before the second day of the cruise I was dubbed party animal by some cast members. It was quite amusing. 
I guess I should share my news with my DDA friends. I couldn't post anything earlier since I was not allowed to tell ANYONE! I have been asked to take a promotion. Normally, it would mean moving to Lansing. I told them I can't move to Lansing anytime soon so I turned down their offer. They feel that it is so important for me to be in the job that they are willing to have me be in Lansing half time but still get the promotion. I'm already in Lansing almost 1/2 time (some months more, some months less) that I took the promotion. Well, actually it is an acting position with a required interview and they have to interview at least 3 people. It is possible that someone else will be better qualified (but not likely). I start in the new level on November 3 as the acting working out-of-class (which means I get a pay increase even during the acting period).
It was very hard to tell my team that I was moving up. They are the greatest team ever. They have been one of the main reasons I have been so successful. However, I feel I can do more for them (& others at their level) if I take this position. Several of them told me I have been the best boss they have ever had. And they are all 29 or older so we aren't talking about people who have only had one or two bosses.
