WORK - WORK and well WORK!
Been working my butt off - but it really needs to get to the gym more than two days a week.
Met Molli this morning - man she looks great - she is at her goal weight - I am so freakin' proud of her.
It is the time of the year - that we have to start our budgets, and this year I have more on my plate than ever - I am so crazy to take on the Special Events department - but it is fun planning the events. We are in the middle of planning New Year's Eve. This is fun meeting with decorators - entertainers - AV - food and beverage. There are so many elements. Not to mention we are working on Super Bowl.
Lots of lay-offs have happened and the employees that are left are so down and have to work twice as hard - I get mad because I keep thinking - they still have jobs, they should be grateful, instead of all this "oh poor me" stuff.
We have decided not to coach soccer this year and move Nolan to a competitive team - the search was long - 2 1/2 weeks of practicing with various teams and clubs - Nolan was at a different practice every day except on Sundays. The result is we found a great coach and a good team where he will play a lot, this team is in the rebuilding stages and we are excited to see them all come together.
So work has encouraged everyone to take early vacations - so I am on VACATION - woo-hoo. We leave to long beach tomorrow for a 4 day cruise to BAJA CA. This happened to be a good time because Nolan's B-day is Tuesday - big 12. Just the three of us - Matt just started a new job and just got back from the Bahamas, so he will stay home with the dog.

I've been through a number of corporate takeovers/mergers and the survivor's guilt often seems to loom over the workplace for months on end.
It's hard to be thankful when you're worried that you could be next. As we've seen so often in recent years, there's no such thing as job security any more. In many ways, I often wish the quaint old concepts of loyalty still prevailed. Instead, we manage ourselves like contractors and look out for our own needs.
I wouldn't really call it progress.
Ooh, that sounded negative. Sorry about that: Not my intention. As bad as things may seem, someone else always has it worse. As long as I have my health...
