Happy Anniversary Yesterday

Yesterday would have been my tenth wedding anniversary with Jim. Wow, that means we've now been apart as long as we were married. I did really good yesterday for the most part. I've gotten to where I can hold it together at work. But then, I'm getting very good at 'faking it.' I had to learn to do that when I went to work at 7-11 six weeks after Jim died. Brandon, Lala and I were watching X-Files last night when, for some reason, she made a comment about me liking men with big bellies. I immediately started to cry. She felt bad about it, but it didn't last long. I went to bed shortly after that and shed a few more tears but also fell asleep thinking about the good times. Jim was a good man, and I hope to see him again someday. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the spirit world and just how much they are aware of us and what we're doing. I like to think that both Howard and Jim can see me once in a while, know the changes I've made and are proud of me.

Today was my Friday at work which was nice. It was also a really good day, not too busy, not too slow, time went fast. And I did a lot more troubleshooting than I've done and most of them ended with the customer having everything working. I felt like I'd won the lottery. Wow, what a high those calls were. I had several customers and even a couple of installer pay me compliments. There is one installer in Texas who is a little rude, but most of them are wonderful. And I love that accent. One of them asked if he could somehow get transferred to me because I was so fast. I said I'm not sure if it helps, but I do type at 90 wpm. He laughed and said that must be it, and the guy that he got three times in a row yesterday must have been hitting one letter every fifteen seconds. We had a good laugh over that. Another one told me he likes getting those of us in Wyoming cuz we're so much more helpful and more cheerful than the Utah CSR's. I guess I won't pass that one onto the other office, but I did share it with the CSR's in our office.

Two days off now and lots of plans. So I'm gonna go get a long nights sleep and get started tomorrow. Well, working around conference, of course.
