Eat and sleep is essential.

So is heavy drinking... just my two cents.

Glad to hear you're doing better... can't have our resident melon presser not up to performing.

I need to do some of this soon.

I need me a drunk boy soon.

i have been getting cold up here in the mountains during storm season

my beautiful two-piglets-ago left me 'a small package' (don't laugh, it's not, and it's not, either) at his house ... so much wonderful stuff in it ... including a sweatshirt with a big dog on it to keep me warm

he remembers I get cold here ...

My sister just sent me the following email. It made me laugh so hard my stomach hurts, so I had to share... Keep in mind this happened her second day on a new job.

"so yesterday this guy is trying to help me out (b/c i'm bored otu of my mind) so he went to go make a copy of these papers for me to read that were stapled together. So, he's trying to get the staple out. So i'm like... oh, here do you need help? do you need a finger? (like meaning a fingerNAIL, b/c guys never have nails)

and he looks at me like SOOOO offended, like WTF is your problem?

so i was like... wow. wtf is HIS problem.

So we get back over to his computer, and he goes to type something and ALL OF A SUDDEN I notice that his finger is amputated like at the 1st knuckle. Not super obvious, but VERY CLEARLY a stump finger with NO nail and very clearly NOT completley there. and i'm like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG he thinks i'm making a stumpy finger joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm such a LOSER. "

Sup TAN. Today is going to be an interesting day. I'm starting my new gig as an operations manager on monday, but today I'm going in for a few hours to meet the staff that I'll be overseeing, which is about 25 people.

Then tomorrow I have a Skype video chat with the people I'll be in charge of at the Boston, LA, Atlanta, and Dallas offices.

This is job is going to be the most challenging job I've ever had.

And I can't wait.

It's a very rewarding gig! I've done some operations management before, but nothing quite like this. It's in manufacturing, which is where I've found my talent to be in. Plus this is the first job I've had that involves travel, which I'm actually looking forward to.

What happened to the financial gig? I am confused... or am I confusing you with someone else?

My experiance is in Manufacturing, Chemical and machining. But all process improvements and Lean applications. My strengths are def more on the technical side then the management side. Which is why I keep trying to improve that side of things and grow more and challange myself more.

I hope you enjoy the travel more then I did. I used to work as a technical service Eng for one company and travel to all our facilities to help with major problems and launching equipment and I started to hate it after a while. But it was more international travel. If it was all withing US and Canada I would have liked it more.

Nope, that was me. Turns out I was misled during the interviews, etc. Long story short, instead of working my way towards being a financial advisor, I was looking at being a phone jockey for the next 6-8 months, selling auto insurance in New Jersey.

About a month ago, a company that I interviewed with back in October came back at me with an offer that was basically my dream job. We did a lot of back and forth because, frankly, I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting into this time.

We worked it out, and I gave notice and was terminated immediately. So, I got a weeks vacation, which was nice.
