A Blah day

What a day! In the morning, everything went fine, like a well oiled machine. I woke up, prepared the lunch bag for my kid, chose what to wear, left home at a decent time, read some nice articles on the train and went to work at a decent time. Answered some emails, started some work that I had on my To Do list, scratched a couple, had a nice lunch and then my manager told me that he has a good news. I will be promoted to Signor level and my salary will go up. Me and a couple other people on my team, have been asking for an increase for a long time. Although this is a good news, it is not as good as we expected because the increase is not where we were aiming to be. So I am left with a desire to move out of this place. On the way back, I didn't read anything on the train, I was just thinking about my options and what to do. Start finding another job, I am tired of that. Continue staying with at this job, hurts me when I think that there are people at my work that can't select text, and make more than I do. Arrived home and my kid said: I think the hamster is dead! I said, let's go to karate and will check later. So we ran to karate class and I was thinking what to tell her when we get back home. While she was at the dojo, called my husband and asked him to handle the dead hamster before we get home. I kept thinking about my job. We came home and my husband had put the hamster on a small plastic box, wrapped with tin foil and inside the freezer. We can keep the hamster there until we decide how the funeral will be done. While checking my social stream, I noticed that I had an answer from Space!! A couple of days ago, I asked Col. Chris Hadfield on Twitter to put a picture of my country from up there. He is on a spaceship that orbits Earth 16 times/day. And today he put a picture of my country!! It was really cool, very nice feeling! I thanked him and shared the picture with a lot of my friends.

Looking back, this day was a roller coaster of emotions!
