MESS

Oh my goodness...I'm SO sorry to say that I have had ZERO time to give my time-off blog the attention it needs.  I touched down Thursday morning and have been in a whirlwind of playing catch up - starting with my 782 emails waiting for me (just finished reading this morning...yuck!)  

All of this plus the fact that I TOTALLY slept through my alarm this morning and work up at 7AM (OMG!!!!), means that my Idaho/Iceland blog will be on hold until next week.  That said, it's been a great few days...who doesn't love hearing 'we missed you' even if it means coming back to work early!    

3 days down, ?? to go!  xoxoxo...

chitchat

So almost every night I go downstairs to the quality team office to visit with the Korean inspectors about issues and whatnot that I had come across that day.  A few weeks ago I said something about coming down to chitchat - which required quite the explanation of what chitchat meant....and they loved it.  Now every time I walk in the guys like to announce that I'm here for chit chatting! 

Wednesday night I was super tired when I went down.  It was a particularly busy day, so all of the guys were asking me questions about this and that.  At one point I just completely zoned out and stopped paying attention.  They realized I was super sleepy and gave me some chocolate (which they do pretty often) and said that we could chitchat about non-work stuff.  So I sat down and the lead quality manager said, "So Alli, how big are your feet???"  I just immediately started deliriously giggling and making up some kinds of excuses like "these shoes just make my feet look big...they're not THAT big!!!"  They in turn started giggling, and one of them said that I have HOBBIT feet!!  Since I'm no hobbit-expert, I made them google what hobbit feet were.  Reluctantly, they did and this is what appeared...       


OMG ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
Needless to say, I am SO beyond thrilled that this is my last Sunday and I'll be on a boat heading to shore first thing Tuesday morning :)

40 days down, 2 to go!  xoxo...
