Tammi's World

Goin' In.....

So this morning I'm getting ready to head out to the plant for our big LAUNCH SALES MEETING.

WooHoo!!

Not.

I'm tryin'. Really I am. But as late as yesterday I was sittin' on the plane waiting to get to the gate dealing with.....with......shit. It's so damned frustrating. Because it's the SAME shit I've been dealing with for the past 9 months.

But the word on the street is that, even after all the cuts, if you don't have the right attitude you're gone.

I really can't afford to be gone. Nope. Not one little bit.

So....I was talkin' to a friend in Tampa during the drive to the airport, hoping for some encouragement.

You know what I got? Huh?! I got the old "Shit, you can do it. You're charming" line.

Trust me folks....I really don't think I'm *THAT* charming.

But I'm gonna give it the old college try.

I *DO* love the new line. Really I do.

I *DO* have some customers that are gonna knock those bean counters on their asses with their performance this year.

I *DO* have some pretty good prospects.

And I *DO* love a good free meal. And we've been promised a "special" one this evening.

So yeah, I'll be fine. I'll just be really glad to be home tomorrow night......I'm good, but I'm not THAT good. This is what you might refer to as a smash and grab. Pop in, smile, ask intelligent questions (and YES, I *can* do that) and get the hell out.

It's all in the timing........
