I love Tuesdays!

For those of you on Facebook, you may have seen my statuses of Massage Tuesdays at work. Every Tuesday, two massage therapists come in and all employees get a 20 minute massage. I find this benefit to be one of my favorites. I work part time and appreciate them allowing me to participate in Massage Day. I feel more companies should provide massages to their employees. It's amazing how relaxing and uplifting it is. I come back to my office feeling quite refreshed. I also found out today that I receive some paid time off! Being part time, I figure I wouldn't receive any benefits - so I'm pleasantly surprised by my PTO.

Work is going well. This week I worked on a Cultural Diversity presentation for one of our clients. I also worked on Medicare D notifications and an FMLA/ADA issue. I'm learning so much at this company. I'm a true HR geek and am so grateful for the opportunity to learn the different facets of HR.

This weekend, my friend Christine and I went to a chili cookoff. I'm not a huge meat eater, but did partake in the judging of the chili dishes. My favorite was a pork chili. After the cookoff, we went to JoAnn Fabrics and Hobby Lobby. I attempted to sign up for another sewing class, but as I looked into the class further, I decided not to go forward with it as I feel I need to practice some more before moving on. This class was making a fleece robe and pajama bottoms. Sounds like an awesome class, but I don't think my skills are quite that advanced yet. Once a month, JoAnn Fabric holds a '1/2 off classes' day. The next one is December 5th and I will sign up another beginning sewing class. The next beginner class makes a reusable gift bag. This could be handy!
