1. I LOVE playing with the money! It's my job to make sure all the money is accounted for and safely stored each night. I'm not 100% positive that my boss appreciates me calling it "playing with the money" but that's what it feels like. I love counting it and strapping it and putting it in little stacks. I don't even mind (much) when it comes to me wet and I have to iron it to get it dry.
2. This year, we have Winterfest and I can NOT wait! The park is going to go from...

this. There will be a zillion Christmas lights. (Have I mentioned how much I love Christmas lights?) Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there. (Have I mentioned how much I love Santa?) And the fountains are going to freeze over and be turned into an ice skating rink. Have I mentioned how bad I am at ice skating? Have I mentioned that I'm about 99.99% sure I'll break a leg? Have I mentioned that I don't even care! I can Not wait for Winterfest! I'm more excited about Winterfest than I am about playing with the money each night.

3. I love the people I work with. Once, I was having a problem with the printer and my boss walked by and asked "Having PC Load Letter issues?"
Gratitude is a wonderful way to "reframe" our attitudes! Have fun playing with the money. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I always do! :)
DeleteWinterfest looks like a fairy tale to me! I would love to visit that park someday.
ReplyDeleteAnd playing with money is really a lot of fun.
I once helped counting money collected for a good cause. That made me so much happier than being the one going door to door ;-)
I can not wait for Winterfest! This year is the first year the park will be doing it so it's even more exciting.
DeleteOh my goodness, #1 makes me think of my grandparents! Every time we visited, I'd "play" with my grandpa's bowling money -- sorting, stacking, counting, wrapping! Grandma worked at a bank and always had coin sleeves. It was one of my favorite things to do and now a favorite memory. :)
ReplyDeleteI always loved wrapping coin as a child (and teen and even adult) too. A tiny piece of me died when the banks started making me deposit my coin jar savings still in the jar instead of wrapped.
DeleteI'm not much of a "park" person, but winterfest looks wonderful! And # 3 cracked me up! Have fun with the $$$
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not where I'd want to spend my vacation but I really do enjoy working there. The atmosphere is terrific. We even have a TPS report! Thankfully, I don't have to fill it out but Corporate named it weirdly so that it's a TPS report. :)
Deletewinterfest sounds like a fabulous event! I love winter :) money in any form including monopoly money is fun to count :)
ReplyDeleteI'm SO excited for winter fest. This will be the first year for the event and I am like a 4 year old waiting for Santa! I am getting more and more nervous as each day passes about the upcoming breaking of my leg because that's just the way things go for me but.... :)
