I hear my house in Florida is gone now. Hit by a Big T during Wilma. Huh. Kinda glad I wasn't there for THAT.
Then I talk with a girl I used to work with. As bad as it was during the hurricanes last year - it's worse now - business wise. There is a foam shortage. So everyone's sales are down. No pity pay this time. Oh, and you better hit your flippin' numbers or you'll be on the street. Kinda glad I'm not there for THAT.
My last boss was mean. Not in a whiney girl kinda way - I'm talking cruel. When I saw his number on my phone my stomach hurt. He yelled, he screamed, he insulted, he humiliated. He was not a nice man.
My current boss - not the sharpest tool in the shed. But I'll take that over mean any day of the week.
So today I'm out on the road calling on some of my customers. Introducing myself and learning their business. Offering new opportunities. Outside sales.
With my boss.
It's gonna be a long, long day. But the worst thing I've got to worry about is him embarrassing me with ridiculous questions/comments. And, for what it's worth, I've got a home to return to.
I'm kinda glad I'm HERE for that.

Posted by: armywifetoddlermom at October 26, 2005 08:13 AMAs I said before, I am so glad you are here even if it is getting chilly... Good luck and hope the day went well!
Posted by: Laughing Wolf at October 26, 2005 09:26 AMI'm so glad you're not living back there if only bcause you escaped the big T.
More importantly, I'm glad you're living where you are 'cause your much happier and have a life. the cold & snow will be a welcome change & when you return to FLA you'll be even happier. of course by then all of them might be sick of living in Hurricane alley. ;-)
