Poppin' In
Huh. I can breathe. That's kinda nice.....
Thanks for all the well wishes and advice. I've been taking MucinexDM, Dayquil, and TheraFlu at night. Like everyone else, I just can't kick this bad boy - and I don't think the flying helped at all. I still just have no energy at all......and just about no voice!
I did, however, get a shitload of work done yesterday. Three line proposals finalized and sent out. We're havin' a sale, so I customized the info and sent it to the appropriate customers. Fixed some credit issues (again). Prepared my presentation for this afternoon. Scheduled appointments to show the new line next week. Oh, and while 2 hours late, got my boss the damned weekly report he harps about constantly.
This morning I bounded out of bed at 5:00. OK, bounded might be a bit of an exaggeration. I got up, put on my Marine hat, pulled on my boots and a coat and went to the gas station. I've been out of coffee for most of the week, and there was no way in HELL I was going to try and flat iron my hair without some caffeine.
Since then, I've reviewed today's plans and paperwork, sent about a dozen emails, and am preparing to start on my presentation for Monday.
It's only flippin' 5:55 in the damned morning!!!!!!!
Someone asked me yesterday when things will lighten up. I said I'd love to say in a couple of weeks. Or even the middle of next month. But that....would be a huge lie. If I'm lucky, and if I work THROUGH my vacation (paperwork and phone calls) I may, just MAY be in a spot to take a breath by the end of March.
1 1/2 months.
The good news is, it'll make the time pass quickly. There is that.
But damned, it's gonna be busy around here......

Posted by: Richmond at January 11, 2008 07:34 AMTalk about a kick in the teeth. I have been emailing my boss, ALREADY this morning, gettin' my ass chewed because, while I got the report done, he doesn't like the results.
Like I'm supposed to be in Columbus for 2 1/2 days, launch a new line and STILL hit 10 prospects this week......
This is unbelievable.
I'm not worried about ME being to hard on myself....it's the powers that be that are killin' me!!!
Posted by: Tammi at January 11, 2008 07:51 AM{{{HUGS}}} Sending lots of good wishes and karma your way. It's too bad your area doesn't include the northeast. Over a decade ago I worked for a furniture company and still talk to some of my old co-workers. At least they would have been leads for you.
I hope you have a spectacular day!!! :o)

Now... please tell me specifically which medication worked best, because Arthur and I seem to be getting sick. :/
