So today...I Googled myself, and my old self

So today at work, I thought it would be interesting to type my name into Google and see what came up. I tried my old name first and it came up with the following:

1 - Laura Krutzig - Linkedin

2 - Derick Doberstein and Laura Krutzig wedding (Bed Bath and Beyond wedding registry)

3 - Jigsaw business contacts (which I have never subscribed to before, but they have some info on me and where I work...creepy)

Then I tried my new name and it came up with things for different Laura Doberstein's (guess I am more 'unoriginal' now than I was before I changed my name after getting married! Who knew!

Well, those were my useless things I found out about when I decide to see if anything comes up about me on Google!

I am kind of excited about friends recently. I have had a bunch of people that I have not talked to in a long time kind of come out of the woodwork and say that they want to get together, and here is the kicker, we actually PLAN a day and time that we will be getting together to catch up and hang out. Unlike all of the other times when you talk to someone and say hey, we need to catch up and or hang out, call me! So that is interesting and eventful! Since Derick and I have been homebodies pretty much since we got married, it is nice to get out and do more things as well. Not having money really helped that part out - the staying home, not going anywhere or doing anything part. I will be SO glad when I have money to spend again! Then maybe we can plan an actual vacation or a honeymoon! whoo hoo!

Tonight Laura is coming over and we are having a Mary Kay lady come and talk make-up with us. I guess she was pestering Laura to have a party, so we decided to have it at my house because it was closer to the rep. Then Friday night we are having Paul and Jenny over to play our new trivia video game - BUZZ and on Saturday, Sabrina from camp is coming to hang out! I will get to finally get an update about life in CA and working for Medtronic out there!

Both VMUs are done today! So that was a nice thing to get off my plate! The bad thing, dealing with the economy and work right now is that there are a lot more last-minute changes that need to be made to things we send to the stores. Also, recently more people have been let go, mostly out in the field in the stores, but a couple here and there in the building have been axed. It kind of sucks because it is like, ok, who is not going to be at work tomorrow...at least I am pretty secure in my job and in my area. For heaven's sake, they were completely freaking out when they found out that I might have to be on jury duty over one of the next VMU periods! So I know that I am indespensible and highly valuable, but sometimes that gets to be a lot too. I have "hot projects" that I get put on all of the time and my boss even stated to me, yeah, no one will be able to look at your schedule and tell you that you are not busy! I have something to do just about every day for the rest of my life...so...what does that mean about my vacation...we shall just have to wait and see about that.
