Insomnia and cake!

Today was one of those really long days. I had to actually go into my work’s office today to get trained on some  software for our new account. We were supposed to be there at 8 am.  Of course, that meant I slept terribly last night, waking up every half hour and then laying there for 45 minutes before the alarm went off.  I hate that!

Anyway, training was done by someone who wasn’t used to training, so I think we all left fairly confused and have been figuring out things on our own.  I have pages of notes and need to sit down tonight and try to organize them into something coherent. I spent a lot of time on the phone this afternoon with my fellow workers getting stuff all figured out. 😀 It should all work out once we get used to it, though. It’s just a very different platform than we are used to dealing with, but is certainly is useful to learn it.  Helps pad the resume. Things will  feel all over the place for a while, so I have to have some patience.  We are all smart and can learn anything given enough time.

We had John’s birthday cake tonight. I used this recipe.  You know how so many recipes are “The Best XX Ever” and you try it and say ‘meh’?  Well, this cake really is pretty amazing 😀

The same one he requested last year. So John stretched things out for his birthday with more presents and the cake.  Now I think he is done 😉

    After every vacation I sleep terrible the night before getting back to work. No idea why.
    I would be annoyed if someone trained me who wasn’t used to that. Hope you figure everything out soon.

    And the cake looks delicious!

    Pretty much any time I have something different on my agenda, I don’t sleep well the night before. Such a pain to not be able to turn off the subconscious and saw some logs!

    John’s cake looks really good!

    Insomnia–I hate it. Pretty much is an irregularly regular thing around here. Sometimes melatonin works. But most of the time I am too tired or stubborn to get up and take the melatonin 🙂

    Got the cake bookmarked! Someday I know I’ll need to bake a chocolate cake 🙂
