Tuesday-Monday

Today was Monday Tuesday and despite having a sign-up day in one of my more distant towns for work, it kinda sucked. We started the day off with not getting paid. Apparently our paycheck payer people thought it would be funny to identify checking accounts as savings accounts and vice versa....causing my check to be rejected by my bank. Maybe by Thursday folks.

Then of course we made it to Big Piney.....without half our folders. Apparently yours truly thought it would be a good idea to forget a whole box....along with blank paper.....and the extra printer cartridge. That's how I roll. In disaster mode. By the seat of my pants. Do you think it has anything to do with it was 11-12-13? Is that anything like Friday the 13th?

Good news is I got caught up on my annual golfing stories, cows coming off the forest stories, stories of babies filling the voids of lost husbands, hunting stories and sincere thank yous. Let us not forget the laughing at ourselves. We salvaged the day and we will be back tomorrow. Please pray that Thursdays sign-up day has all its folders, blank paper, extra printer cartridges. I'll be throwing in extra blank forms, some paper clips and a few "borrowed" pens.

Good bye Tuesday-Monday and welcome in HUMP DAY!

    That stresses me out just thinking about it. And I would have bounced a crap load of checks had my paycheck gotten rejected by my bank. Come on, pay-check-writers!

    Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine! Sorry, but as a borrower from FSA I probably wouldn't have been very happy! Hopefully tomorrow goes better for you. We've gotten all of our paperwork in for next year's loan, so that's exciting :)

    As far as the paycheck, that REALLY sucks. Mine got messed up a coupe months ago and it jacked up a bunch of my direct payments out of my account. NOT FUN. Hopefully it gets resolved soon!

CARRY! On Monday my phone rang with an unknown number, I don't usually answer these, so I guess since I was really over the place of employment project I was working on I decided "what the hey" "Hello" "Is this Jennifer blah blah blah?" [ah, crap] (see here how I'm protecting my PII) "Yes, it is" "This is the Sheriff's Office, calling to tell you your concealed carry permit is in" "Great!, I'll be out to pick it up today!" And now, I am officially licensed to conceal carry......and put a rush on that Dirty 30 list item to find a pretty gun and a super cool shoulder sling! And yes, PII....that's what working for the federal government will do to your blog.

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is...

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a...
