did I get hit with the lucky stick?

I didn't think that my week could get any better but it did. Towards the end of a conversation with my boss, he informed me that I will be receiving my 10% bonus! Hell yeah! He then told me that I also got a 10% raise. 10%? Good thing I wasn't driving when I found out.

B-Day What??

I got a birthday card today!! For most people that wouldn't be anything un-ordinary, but I don't have an address. Let me start at the beginning.

While I was getting ready for work this morning Shelly called me. I semi-expected she would be the first, but to get five other calls from unexpected people before noon... wow!

I didn't even know that that many people knew it was my birthday. The phone calls didn't stop as the day went on. I feel like the luckiest girl ever. The guy I was working with today figured it out and had the staff at T.G.I. Fridays do the show. Embarassing, I know, but the cheesecake was much appreciated.

I got to my hotel in St. Joseph Missouri and didn't notice the sign until I returned from the bar the first time but, I was the guest of the day.

I asked the nice guy at the front desk if it was because it was my birthday and he wished me a happy one. I went to the bar a second time soon thereafer, why would I sit around half-sober today.

Upon my second return I was surprised by a card (from the hotel staff) under my door wishing me a happy birthday with a Starbuck's gift card. Most people know that I hate Starbuck's but it's the thought.

It has been a fuzzy feeling kind of day. My friends have made it the best. However, I have to say that it is a great feeling that the hotel chain in which I live, however corporate they can be, have made me feel more at home today than I have felt in a long time. THANK YOU!
