Sometimes you make me angry

Yesterday my boss came to the branch store to prepare for the open house today. All went well until two minutes before his departure when an order I had taken came crashing down. I had sent the order to a flower shop in another state and the shop forwarded it to another shop. When I called to check on the status, the sale associate could not find the order. It was late in the day. My boss called several shops, no success finding one to deliver. He was angry on several counts. I had only given the shop 3 1\2 hours to get the order delivered. The product was for a loose wrap and most shops prefer vased arrangements and he ate the difference. Also the order is going a day late. I called to explain the situation to our customer and she was most understanding. The boss said, "Sometimes you make me angry." I'm sure. I enter the wrong data at the end of a long day, and the boss, not an accountant, does not know how to correct it. The branch manager told him, "at the end of a long day,I sit here just thinking how I can upset your day!" Between my boss, martial arts master and husband, I am always in bad grace with someone. It is a chronic condition.

A New Great Niece

On Monday, my new little great niece was born. She is beautiful with her blue eyes and dark hair. Congratulations to my brother and his family! This new little one is his 7th grandchild. Perhaps I will see her later this month when my family celebrates Thanksgiving. The event will be at my mother and dad's home, and we will have turkey and all the trimmings. I hope many of my nieces and their families will attend. A bit different for my family this year. My daughter is flying south to spend Thanksgiving with her sister who just got married and my son is driving to celebrate Thanksgiving with his partner and family. I'm not sure if my daughter who is attending a local university will be home on that day, since it is a Sunday, and she has classes that week. Thanksgiving...a time to be grateful for all the blessings that I have been given. I have everything I need and perhaps even everything I want.
