How's the new job, you ask?

Ever have one of those days when you wake up and your head hurts so badly that you think you might hurl? That was yesterday for me. Oh yeah, I was out the night before but if you hang with me, you know I don't drink that much (3 is puhlenty) and I don't have hangovers anyway. This was something else entirely. Okay, so I was struggling through the day at the still-kinda-new job. I've been there a month now and there's still a lot to learn but they have me doing these projects that make me a seriously overpaid secretary but whatev. It got to be around lunch and there was no way I was going to eat anything. So, I was working on this same day deadline for an expo in Milwaukee and I needed a signature from the owner for the charge card. I went to his office and he was working diligently (Right). I asked for the signature and he was upset that I was expediting him. (Huh?) He doesn't like to be expedited. (Again, huh??) So, while he was 'explaining' that he, too, has deadlines and while he may look like he's not doing much there is actually a whole....... wait-I'll be right back! I went running from the room into the bathroom and blew stomach juice. Ewww. I have a toothbrush and paste in my desk so I took care of that and then went back to his office. First he said 'that sounded productive'. Then he asked if I threw up because he was yelling at me. Obviously he doesn't know me as someone yelling doesn't change my course of action whatsoever but I was tempted to say yes. I've never been the frail willow of a chick that gets all torn up so everyone kid handles and that was a tempting moment but he would soon learn how I really am. (I'm going to go with the word tenacious.) He suggested I go home but I declined. I (he) had a deadline I had to meet. Sides, I felt better!

In the meantime, really, I love the job. I love my boss and the people I'm working with. The industry is wayyy more interesting than I thought it would be. Wire and Cable. Who would have thought? They have so much potential, it's unbelievable. All of the business is inbound! No one develops new business and they have still managed to stay open. Amazing. It's an excellent product, obviously. I'm going to come off looking like some incredible genius that increases business by 40%. That's my plan anyway! :)

I have to get going... there's house cleaning to be done and then I'm taking the kids for new bikes. Then we may go to Gettysburg for a bit. It's battlefield season:) After they leave to go to their Poppyseeds (their dad), then I'll go out and have some fun.

I hope you have an excellent weekend!! Thanks and take care......!
