I feel like all I do any more is work, work, and more work. And my pre-approved overtime hours haven't even begun yet! That of course, is the good news; I have been approved for some overtime between now and the beginning of July. End of the year is always nuts and I have a feeling this year is going to be pretty bad.

I've also been approved to work overtime hours for our Purchasing department helping out with some of the backlogged orders. I'm going to get to learn the program used by the state for all the procurement, which will be a nice addition to my resume.

So, as you can tell, I will be working some long days in the next few weeks. It'll be nice to have the extra money with the new house payments coming up. Oh, and that little trip to Hawaii!

The house is looking awesome! We had an issue with the recessed lights in the kitchen, but before we even met with the building supervisor this morning, he'd already had the electricians' come in and fix it! By this afternoon the drywall had been patched and we're good to go. The light fixtures, switches and outlets have been installed. Supposedly carpet is scheduled for Saturday!

Since we have elected not to move our closing date up, the house will probably be ready and waiting for a few days. I guess that just gives us a chance to make sure all the little problems have been fixed.

We met with SunTrust today to work out options in case the townhouse doesn't sell before we have to close. It seems we do have some outs, just in case. I hope we don't have to use them, we'll see.
