I know I've been MIA lately... It's hard to believe I haven't posted since August! Life has been kind of crazy, and between work, school, every day life, and the holidays, I just haven't really been online much outside of doing homework for the cost accounting class that I am so glad to be finished with! I think it was the hardest class I've had (mostly because the teacher was such a tool) I had to teach myself the course, but I still managed to eek by an A thankfully! I'm just relieved it's over now, and I get a little break from all things school until the 3rd.

Good news I hadn't mentioned yet; the manager that was making my life hell was pushed to leave on a good note (over getting fired for incompetence and laziness), and I had been given my old position back. I had applied for the inventory control clerk position two weeks after that and was told in the middle of November that I got it! Things have been a lot better in my department as I train my replacement. I could have stayed, but honestly, I'm tired of the way they use me for what ever function they want and cut my hours to give them a better CPH (cartons per man hour) The inventory position guarantees 40 hours a week, it's a step in the further progression of my knowledge that will help me in my career, and it relieves me of being the department's door mat. I should be starting my new position sometime in the next couple weeks! :)

I did write a little something for Christmas for a prompt made by frostydragon! at Spank_World here: http://spanking-world.livejournal.com/384590.html

The family is well, we had pictures taken for Christmas: https://pattoncreek-hoover-al.portraits.com/-jenniferjenks/gallery

I'm excited to see their reaction this year for Christmas. They've wanted to watch the Elf on a Shelf movie practically everyday since 'Jack' (Lucian named his elf last Christmas) appeared about two weeks ago :P The past ten days he's diligently been marking off on the calendar how many days until Santa comes. Too dang adorable :)

I'm going to do my best to be better about getting online more often to keep up with my friends here. I hope everyone is doing well and that your holidays are made of win!

I know I'm missing two questions from the 19th and the 20th! (Sorry frostydragon and ficwriterjet! This past week has been a whirlwind it feels like! oO I plan to answer them hopefully tomorrow, if not, I apologize in advance!

Well today has been pretty rough. I was supposed to be spending it at my family's in TN... but we were awesome and managed to get on the interstate going the wrong way. Can we say major epic fail? :/ Yeah... 3.5 hours of traveling to be getting to the opposite spectrum of the exit we needed when we realized we were going the wrong direction. I've never felt like such a tard in my life. There were tears and in the end after 7.5 hours on the road and $115 in gas and food, we are back home, and I'm missing my family for Christmas. :( It's not all doom and gloom though. I was able to finish my Secret Santa exchange for [Bad username or unknown identity: hanyou-elf> and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Not sure if I'll color it, if I do, it'll be on the computer so I can play with it more ;) <lj-cut> <a href=]
