I thought this was an appropriate picture to take for today, because not only was it raining, but I definitely felt like singin' by the end of it!
The day started off *early*, with me leaving the house before the sun was even up. We had our holiday breakfast at Eggs 'n Things, exchanged Secret Santa gifts, and basically just had a nice Christmas send-off.
Then, once we got to the office, THE AUDITOR SHOWED UP. I have a feeling a little birdie might've tipped them off that I'd be out of town next week, because this was our last chance before I leave! I was totally stressed out, headachey and shaky-handed, throughout most of the morning. This one day is basically what my entire year is in preparation for, and whatever the branch scores will follow us for the next twelve months. (My 'adequate' last year cost me in every quarter's measurement, as I only got 10 out of the possible 20 points in that category.)
At first, she said she'd be back for half a day tomorrow. Then we found all the documentation she asked for pretty quickly, and she was able to finish up tonight! The best part? ZERO FINDINGS!!!!11!!1! I mean, it's only preliminary. Several more people have to look at the report, and it's possible they could find something she missed. That doesn't happen very often, though, so... SQUEEEEEE!!! I couldn't believe it! You can still receive a 'good' with findings, and it's pretty rare not to have any. It is, of course, the luck of the draw. No one's perfect, and it's just chance which items they pull to look at. But no findings! I am still in shock.
OMG I am relieved and ecstatic and bouncy and exhausted, and I can go on vacation and RELAX, and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME! So happy.
