I'm in the Mood for.....

WooHoo!! It's Friday! AND We're done around 1:00 or so! I cannot begin to tell you how happy that makes me! It's the weekend and I am NOT exhausted!

So this afternoon I'll stop on my way home and do a little tannin', then run to the bank to cash a check and hit the grocery store. I have some projects at home I really need to get done and I just have hadn't the energy.

I think (knock on wood) that I'm starting to find the balance in all this. Now that the meeting is over for this year, I won't be working until 9:00 or so. Most of what I have to do is review and improve. A few analysis thrown in and that'll be my day to day. Of course there's still all the travel, but there's a few changes there also.

You see, the most important thing that came out of this week is that I've proven myself. I've gotten a lot of crap for not being overly aggressive. For not pushin' my way into the limelight. I won't play that game. I'm pretty confident that I can do the job I was hired for. I don't need to push anyone out of the way to prove that. Also, I'm comfortable in my own professional skin. I've been to this rodeo a time or two and know how to ride that horse. In order to earn respect it's got to be more than words. If you can't walk the walk then, well, it's nothing but a lot of hot air.

The meetings yesterday went exactly the way I wanted them to. The results will be seen soon. The majority of my reps have finally taken their blinders off and we're gonna be opening some new accounts. Accounts they knew were there but didn't think our product would sell in.

The boss said he wanted new and diversified distribution. Well Dude - here it comes.

Anyway, it all boils down to the fact that it's Friday and I feel pretty good. I'm thinkin' a pot-o-somethin' and maybe a pie. I'm in the mood for pie.
