I Learn from the Best....

I wake up goin' a million miles a hour. Every day. Seriously. That's just wrong.

Most mornings it pays NOT to talk to me for a while. Let me get my coffee and actually turn my brain DOWN. Otherwise, I'll make you crazy. I know that and try to warn folks.

This morning was no different than most. Well, except it was worse.

I was sitting up, wide awake at 5:00am. Brain already sorting through all that is my day.

** Vote.

** Meeting at 1:30 with new boss, DVP and 2 other reps in this area. THIS makes me very nervous. Last time we had a meeting to discuss budgets and territories I got the big "D". I cannot handle anymore cuts. Seriously. Plus, this is my first face to face with the new guy. I've been thinking and printing like a crazy woman. I *WILL* have all my bases covered and a ready answer for ANYTHING they might ask. I *WILL*. But that doesn't cut back on my nervousness.

** Seems there was a bit of a screw up with my state taxes. Kinda of a BIG bit of a screw up. I. am not happy. And that is about as much as I'll say about that. I do have a meeting with the head of HR while I'm there to discuss how important it is to let folks know if your going to screw with their paychecks.

Yeah. That'll be fun.

** Then, let's not forget my big training class tonite. It's on a product I've sold before, however I can't seem to get anyone to share details with me. Details that I need to have to train in an intelligent manner. And some things have changed on these models. The sales people at this store are sharp. They have a lot of questions. Being the "expert" they are going to expect some answers. Truthful answers would be GREAT.

Yeah. I got nothin'.

Throw in the 8 total hours of driving to accomplish all that today, and well......I'm alREADY exhausted.

So....it's off to the races. I will be engaging the magic ass to insure that I have everything I need to get through my day.

Hell. I'm starting to feel like one of those Marines I admire so very much. It's all about AIAO. (Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome).

Which is actually rather funny as my DVP calls me the OooRah Girl.
