Yippee!

Got a 6% raise at the Credit Union. I'm that much closer to my Trans Am now. I've been meaning to post for the last two weeks. At the CU we got $250 Fun Bucks that we got to use any way we wanted. We went up the Mt. Roberts Tram and I've been meaning to post my pics, but I forgot my camera at the gun store. Here's the one pic I have. And we still made it to the Wednesday meeting on time.

Notice the knife in my hand to back up our Fearless Leader. Also notice how I'm at the back of the pack ready to outrun my companions should said Fearless Leader get eaten.

Airline Miles

Got my Alaska Airlines Visa today. Those crazy SOBs gave me an $8,000 credit limit! That's nearly twice what my Cabela's card limit is. Got my 20,000 free airline miles too. Yippee! They even gave me a cute baby credit card to carry on my keychain.

Tellers

The employees are dropping like flies at the credit union. It's gotten so bad at the other branch in Juneau that they've pulled people from accounting to work the "front line." Even the President and CEO pulled a teller drawer. And today their most experienced teller put in his two weeks. I think they've lost 5 or 6 people in a little over a month. We're now offering referral and signing bonuses for new employees. Where was that when I applied?

At my branch we went from 5 employees to 3 in a week. So I'm the head teller of all two of us. The other teller is going to be moving soon, but we were finally able to hire a new person today. So I'll be the seasoned veteran having been there a whole 5 months.

Not a post for the faint of heart

Just got my wisdom teeth yanked out at noon today. I was nervous enough going in, then I see the doctor had a bad eye. Like a cat that got hit by a car. "Oh great," I thought. The man is going to perform oral surgery on me with one eye.

He said my roots were growing in towards each other so he had to cut them out. But I was knocked out for the whole thing. He stuck the IV in my arm and I was able to get out that I don't like looking at needles and that I'm originally from MI and I was gone. I woke up an hour and a half later and I remember before I was even completely lucid that I put on chapstick.

It's now 2 1/2 hours after the surgery and my tongue and chin are still numb. Finally got the bleeding slowed. Bled all over my shirt and in the sink. I couldn't swallow the blood 'cause it made me sick. Been using a pack of frozen green beans to help w/ the swelling. Not all bad, tho. At least I got to stay home from work and watch Judge Judy. Nothing funny with this post at all other than my boss said he'd be pulling for me.
