Monday, Monday

Ahhh it's Monday morning. It was nice this weekend, not rushing around and being able to simply relax a bit.

No flight today, but I am heading out tomorrow afternoon.

The good news, as far as I'm concerned, is that my trip to North Carolina has been cancelled and there isn't anything on the horizon until the end of January. January. Ohhhh the relief.

There is just so much to do here, and with us moving our offices next month I didn't know how I was going to get it all done. But now, now I have some breathing room.

Oh, I have a couple trips planned, but these are personal. Fun. That's a whole 'nother ball game.

Here's the funny thing - well, at least to me it's funny. In every other consumer product job I've had, this is the beginning of the slow down. Christmas product is shipping, no one is pulling in stock since they don't want to carry it on the books for the end of the year. But with this industry? VERY busy. And we're working Christmas product. Christmas 2007. An entire year ahead. And everyone is wanting to meet with us, get samples, put together displays. Holy Cow. How on earth can you enjoy the holiday when you're already thinkin' a year ahead, for cryin' out loud. What ever happened to living for the moment. And it's no wonder we feel attacked by the season so early. Hell - they want product to start shipping the end of August!

Anyway - I'm just glad I'm not gonna be jet setting all over the place for a while. I'm ready to slow down a bit. I don't mind being bored. Seriously. Oh, I'm sure something will come up, it always does, but for the most part? Nice and calm.

So it's Monday. And I only have to get through one more trip. It'll be a doozie, but knowing that rest is waiting, it's not as bad as it could be.

What's your week lookin' like?
