Tammi's World

So What HAVE I Been Doing...

This really has turned into a great trip. EXACTLY what I've been needing. Lots and lots of meetings. Yesterday afternoon was about the first real free time we had. They have us going so hard all day, that most nights I've been crashing in my room.

But last night we went to the Bellagio for a fantastic dinner, then we saw Cirque Du Soleil "O" and then a group of us went exploring. As I'll explain in a bit, I'm feeling a bit more comfortable in my own skin again, and I decided to just be Tammi. And, as I'm not a huge Vegas fan I figured I might as well live the experience. I've only gambled a bit - a few spins at the slots, and yes I lost. We saw the fountain show - and it was very cool. All I could think of was Ocean's Eleven.......damn I love that movie. Then we walked the strip.

It was kinda cool.....being there with all the lights and casino, hotels......I'll admit I got caught up in the excitement. We ended up at New York New York. We had a few drinks at The Bar at Times Square, listened to the piano players and watch the people. What A Hoot!!! Then I did the one thing I really wanted to do......yes folks this road warrior danced on the bar at Coyote Ugly. Yep, I sure 'nuf did....and sober (ok kinda sober) to boot. I'll have to tell you the story sometime about me and bar dancing, but suffice to say, I've now hit the mother lode. Yep, my dream has been attained.

Now, the meetings have been incredible. The funniest thing is I can't wait to compile some of my notes and share what we have been learning. It really is good stuff.

I started to work for this company because of our management, and the CEO. Our CEO is an incredible man, and I am damned lucky to work in a company led by someone of his stature. Now....my problems have not gone away, nor have they been white washed. I still have the same issues I had a week ago. BUT.....I've been giving the opportunity to address them. We all have. Our company is changing directions. I've been to many, many sales meetings in my career and I've heard all the shit you could possibly hear. But I also know our CEO...he has never made a statement or laid out a vision that he doesn't make happen.

I'm very excited to see what's next. I have hope again. Oh - and I have the T-back for dancing on the bar!!!

More later.......................
