Peanut butter eggs and jell-o

Once again I find myself reading all my favorite blogs and bummed that there isn't anything new. And once again I figure the best way to get you all to write is to write something of my own. That and life is going on and there are a few random things I want to write about. Not of particular importance, but life I guess.
This past weekend was very busy and crazy and wonderful! It started with getting off work early on Friday! I love it! Stacy picked me up and we went down south to Corvallis. We made it just in time for the Good Friday service at Faith. It was a good service, but I'll be honest, I got more out of just being with friends and family than anything else. (This wasn't due to any defficiency on anyone's part, just my lack of a spiritual focus...) Stess and I stayed in Lebanon Friday night as she and my parents were leaving for Denver on Saturday.
Saturday I drove back up to Portland with my family and took them to the airport. They're headed to Denver to spend Spring Break with some of my family. Lucky them, they get to spend the week in the mountains. Snow, sunshine, not working, and family. On the plus side, I got to use my parents truck to get a futon! I'll ad pictures later. It's a very nice futon and will work as an extra bed for Stess when she comes to visit. (Or anyone else who wants to...)
I drove back down to Corvallis Saturday night and spent the night at Stacy's. We went to Faith on Sunday and stayed for an amazing worship time. Afterwards we headed back to her parent's for a great dinner and fun playing Apples to Apples.
Lastly but not the least, Monday was an aweful day at work. I was on the senior line and it felt like every other call was a supervisor call! My first one of the day, had a guy screaming, litteraly screaming, at me because I wasn't going to refund him his money for support that we gave. Left me feeling like jello, you know the feeling after you work out really hard and your muscles are just mush. Yep, that's what it felt like. Honestly that call was more fun than anything. I wasn't going to budge and he gave me reason to hang up on him but he hung up on me fist. However, after that call came others. I'd guess about a third or my calls were supe calls with upset people. I don't mind a few a day, but every other call? I gave myself permission to cry after work. And Tuesday was a better day and today's going pretty good.
So all in all, had a great weekend, the weeks going good and I'm off this Friday and next Monday so I'm happy!

Crybabies!

Some adults are such crybabies! I've been teaching a new product training class these past few weeks and it's amazing how some people are flat out crybabies when it comes to doing their job. This class has a test at the end, 12 questions. True, some of the questions aren't that great, and there are a few that are wrong, but for the most part, the test is fine. This week I'm working on having those people who didn't pass the first time. They are a bunch of babies! Now granted, there are some great people who know it's a test, know there's not a lot they can do about it and know that I'm just the messanger. However, it's the people who come in griping and grumpling about how they're just stupid tests and they've never passed one before so why worry now that really frusterate me! It's not my decision to test you. I didn't write the test. I didn't decide to make the product work, or not work, the way it's designed. Just...

Home Sick

Right about now I get a little bit "home" sick. No, it's not for my childhood home or where my parents live, though I miss that home too. But today I miss my Mongolian home. For the past two years I've either been there now or headed there soon. Unfortunately, this year, I'm not going and that's sad. I'll readily admit I can see why and I see God's hands in this (especially since I'm going to the Philippines!!!) but still, I miss my Mongolian home. I've been looking at my pictures tonight and thought it'd be appropriate to post some. So, though you may have never been, I hope you enjoy them even half as much as I do! Ulzi and Moogi and their family. They're in the Philippines right now! Our breakfast table... Having fun in the river I'm pretty sure one of the kids was taking this picture... :) Turtle Rock in the background goofing off while playing cards... again, I think the kids were taking this picture. Ruthie's nickna...

Mongolia Part 2

I spent quite a bit of time last night trying to upload some more pictures for all of you, so here they are! The first four is an attempt to show you the view as we saw it from our ger. The fourth picture shows you Lotta and Doljin's ger and the house he's building. Also in that picture are the goat and sheep stalls. This is our shower. May is peeking her head out of the stall. Bimba and the kids loved to help us. Here Bimba is bringing us wood for the fence we built. Isn't he cool in his sunglasses? Kate "The Arm" checking the depth of our post hole. Dani is standing by ready to keep digging with a piece of rebar. Stess and Howard using the posthole diggers we brought. They were a great help until we got to the large rocks a few inches down. It got hot during the day so we worked at night on the fence until it was done. This was probably one of my favorite projects because we were all working on the same thing at once. Bada, one of our translators, worked alongsi...
