Why hasn't Thanksgiving started yet?
There is one amazing thing that has started to happen at work -- I'm not really sleepy when I start work. The first month or two were really rought when it came to getting up early -- I was sleepy almost every day. Now it's not so difficult -- I think the more frequent Starbucks stops before work are also helping the matter.
I still haven't talked to my boss about the whole Manager issue -- though I did get a few minutes to talk to the CEO about it. Basically I just explained that I wasn't interested in the longterm and that I didn't think I would be a good choice long term for the company either - but that I, of course, would do whatever needed to be done in the short term to keep the company going, and if I didn't know how to do something I would figure it out. I want to talk to my boss to see what their long term expectations are of me and where they see me in 5 years in the company -- because it seems like they have little or no plans for their employees and their decisions always seem to be reactionary instead of proactive, which just goes to show me that they aren't thinking about their employees at all and are not planning for the long term -- which really concerns me.
I have to say talking to two of our sales people was really helpful and nice b/c they have been in similar jobs as I am now and are much further along in their careers -- so it was nice to have someone confirm what I was thinking, and make me think of other things, along with seeing what the total situation is and knowing the players better than I. It was nice to be able to have someone like that to speak to.
I'm so glad thanksgiving is coming up this week -- I only have a two day week -- I really need the break from work. With all this crap going on it has been very stressful.
Poor Joshy OSU won yesterday -- must just add to his crappy weekend -- can't help that I called to gloat -- sorry Joshy I didn't really care who won so much as I wanted whoever you weren't rooting for to win.
I think I'm going to go back to bed where it is nice and warm and not at work.
