Sounds ominous, but I guess it really isn't... Just another day... Interesting day, indeed!
So we are 125 days until we are leaving for Spain. My current job is like a ton of bricks on my chest and out of the blue a new opportunity dropped in my lap. Training. Yep, standing at a desk, in front of a class of people training on how to use our software. Its almost a flashback to when I was the client! So, maybe "its just another manic Thursday" is more like it... Oh, except that the manic day is supposed to be Monday. :) Now I just need to figure out how to position myself as the best person for the job. And, I need to make sure that I am not signing up for a crap-ton (very technical term) of travel. Looking at other people in product instruction, it looks like 8 weeks a year. I don't think that is a lot, my wonderful husband is worried. I guess I am too - I have a teenager and a 6 year old (who wants to be a teenager) at home. I can't be gone all the time. I can't afford to be gone. And, as much as I want the opportunity, I need to make sure that I can sell that training in our start of the art training center in Alpharetta, GA is the place to be! The other thing I need to figure out is how do I deal with the consulting group? Now that my gentle readers could be the biggest challenge...
So, enough about work. Lets talk Spain! I can't believe how fast the time is going now. I am so far behind in what needs to be done - I have the basics, but that is it! Air arranged, check. Hotel in Barcelona, check. PIF for the cruise, check. Rental car to get home from PC, check. OBC confirmed, check (800.00 as planned). Anniversary noted on ressie, check. Magnets? nope. Packing lists? nope. Plans for Barcelona? nope. FE gifts? Yep - the last of it came today! Candy for exchange? Yep - bagged and ready to travel. Pirate outfits? Yep for the girls, nope for the estrogen challenged. :)
So, getting there. Luckily I have some help available in 8 days! I have pulled a list of things the concierge could do for us (and hope they will) together. And, I hope that they can make some magic happen for us!!
Have I mentioned that we are about 125 days until we fly to Spain and 128 days until we sail? WAHOO!!!!
