Monday, March 27

Media Kits at work!!! I love big projects that I can call my own.
I was told by Sara today that things come to a halt when I'm not there...it seems like I keep some projects going, keep meetings running...either that or it's an inconvenience that they have to wait for me to come back to meet about things so that I know what's going on. I guess that's how teamwork works. I like coming into work and knowing right away what I can do and what needs to get done. I spent an hour filing on Vocus, the internet media filing program, but I don't mind doing it, because somebody has to do it. Sure, I'd rather just get going on the big projects, but it's good to have little things to work on while I'm waiting for confirmation about something for the big project.
I'm typing really fast tonight. That's nice. So I'll have to take a picture of my cubicle right now because there is SO MUCH going on in there!

I'll have to try to get off work an hour or so early so that I can have time to get out of the loop before 5 for Ontario this weekend. I'm getting kinda stoked for it because I can get more Kraft Peanut Butter and eat a Tim Hortons Canadian Maple Donut!!! I'm also ready to finally be considered an adult again..in terms of bars/clubs. I just want to go for a casual drink with Pam. I'll also see Chad again. It's been about a month since I last saw him, and I'm glad he's willing to hang out with me for an afternoon or evening and even go for a run with me, considering all the nasty things I've said to him the last month.

Two more meetings this week! yay! I love meetings. I cook tomorrow...I have to use up my huge stash of pasta...or I could feed the girls from my unlimited supply of honey bunches of oats....hmmm...
