Audited.

Yesterday was a very stressful day. We finally had the day that I, as an assistant branch manager, had been dreading...we were audited. Those of you who know me, know that I tend to be a little high-strung, and yesterday definitely brought me to the edge, and tangled me a little.

Now as a disclaimer, in terms of audits and auditors, ours really aren't that bad, in fact our auditors themselves are very nice, but having someone punch holes and find mistakes in the work you do, all day long, doesn't make for the best day.

According to the auditors, we overall, didn't do too bad, just a few minor things.... but as the girl who still doesn't understand why people say "no ones perfect", this was like a punch in the gut. I can't get into too many details of the audit due to confidentiality, but there was one thing particularly that came to light that involved the honesty of a couple of my colleagues, and that really bothered me. I am a very trusting person, mainly because I don't lie, and if I try, infants can read through it, so the idea of being deceiptful escapes me. And I'm not completely sure that my colleagues were intentionally being deceiptful, but I'm having trouble understanding another point of view. (One of my flaws)

Needless to say the action yesterday resulted in 2 glasses of wine and a bowl of icecream last night. I also managed to wake up at 3:30 in the morning and wasn't able to go back to sleep for about an hour due to worrying about this situation.

Now that I am fully awake and into the groove of my workday everything seems a little better, and it's not the end of the world, but boy to I have trouble convincing myself of that when I'm in 'that' place. You know 'that' place, the place where it seems that your problems are bigger than anyone elses in the world and you would gladly trade places with anyone because there is no solution. I tend to go to this place when something bad and stressful happens, but after a goodnight sleep, I usually realize there are people a lot worse off and I am a total drama queen for thinking I have the worst problems in the world.

Anyway, as previously stated, I'm doing a lot better this morning, and looking forward to Devin and Sarah's nuptials this weekend. What makes their wedding weekend even better is that I just had a chef from the Aberdeen Barn (where they are having their rehearsal dinner) come into the branch, and I was able to change my healthly order of salmon, to the not as healthy, but so much more delicious prime rib, yuuuuummm :)
