A Word of Warning

Well, I've finished cleaning off the laptop. I saved anything I really needed to disc and have emailed myself any links I didn't have memorized.

I leave for Georgia tomorrow. Meeting the team at our plant up there to learn about our new line and have a mini-market. (That's when our larger customers come up and we introduce the new line and they place their sample orders. It's supposed to be fun.)

I'm willing to admit I'm nervous as hell. In all reality I fully expect to have them request my laptop and to be laid-off. I haven't heard a word from any of our management about the fact that we are not shipping to my main customer. Now, the no communication is normal. But you'd think they would at least call to let me know they are working on some plans and we would discuss them this week. No, nothing.

I also admit that I am planning for the worst and praying for the best. Nothing would make me happier than to come back Friday night and tell you all that I was way parinoid. I'd love to have to write that. But I'm not planning on it.

It will be rather difficult to post this next week - if I am able to stay the entire time. Last time I was there internet connection was horrible, cell phones also. I'll post when I can and try to let ya'll know what's going on.

As much as I dislike my job right now, it is a job. I've worked very hard this past year, moving some place I didn't want to move. Giving up time with my friends and family to establish myself in this market. Spending countless hours on the computer trying to learn as much as possible, and keep up with the reports and emails required. I'd hate for it to end this way.

I didn't want anyone to worry if you don't see anything new for a while. I'm a pretty crafty kinda gal, so I'll find ways to drop you a note now and again, but it won't be like normal.

Do me a favor, please. Say a prayer, cross your fingers, what ever it is you do for luck. I'm gonna need all I can get.
