stinky

I am back on the road - traveling to LA. So far not too bad. Mind you it has been 2 weeks! But I have been able to see a lot of my LA co workers for dinner which is nice...and not having to pay for food is always nice:) so on my flight home today there was a stinky man that must have been sitting like a row in front of me. the plane is so damn small that you can smell it first thing when you walk in! that was quite annoying, it was one of those nasty stinkers - just full on bad BO. I am damn thankful I was not sitting next to him.

So I am one to pretty much never talk to the person sitting next to me on a plane. I feel bad sometimes, I feel like some people really want to chat it up the whole ride. not me, I turn sideways, close me eyes and I am out in a few seconds.

In celebrity news, it is really sad what happened to Anna Nicole's kid. to accidently OD is just terrible. Find it kind of odd though that she went ahead and got married supposedly this week.

anyway...Oh so last weekend was in SD for a wedding - and it was the most quaint, down to earth, personal wedding I have ever seen, it was just great. Everything was pretty much made by hand. here's a good example = for the ceremony, we sat on hay stacks!

suspense

I totally was not trying to keep you all in suspense but I haven't logged in to this site for a while! Anyway - so after a whirlwind of interviews with various cos for recruiting positions, 1 formal job offer, 1 informal offer, I decided after HOURS of discussions with various peeps that I can't leave consulting just yet. Weird huh? I whine whine whine and here I am deciding to stay. I need to stop whining first off. Secondly I need to embrace the projects I am staffed on cuz so far I can definitely say I have learned a ton. Thirdly I need to stop ragging on MBAs (mind you I would never rag on my friends with their degree!) that are being hired at my level and getting crap load more $.

I actually had an hour long coversation with one of the partners (which mind you was huge given that over 5 years I have spoken to him a total of 5 minutes) and I walked away from the convo feeling a lot more confident in my decision.

So off now I go to Burbank for my new proj. only a few months so doable. Anyway...today is the American Heart Assoc Heart Walk! THANKS to all of you that donated for this important cause. I raised ~$1800!!! I am very excited about that and all the support people showed. Much love:)

hectic

umm I just had met with 3 difft companies in a week timeframe. Interesting how the world works. Nothing official yet - but things have been going pretty well. everything all at once AND I just got staffed on a new project. the timing for change might be perfect or horrible if I get too far into this project...

$$

I am pretty much taking time off until I get staffed on my next project. Might as well since I truly need to use my time otherwise I stop accruing and that is just a waste. I have had a very relaxing past few days/weeks. Always so hard to transition back to work.

Sooo it is a LOVELY day today and of course I have to go outside and enjoy the weather. I now realize me leaving the house by myself is NEVER a good idea. Why? Cuz all I ever do when out and about enjoying the day is go shopping. And although I keep on swearing I already had my monthly spree where I buy in bulk - I found a way to spend a pretty penny at just one store. immediately after I ran home. Get me away from union street! I need to find something else that I can do that entails me being outdoors and NOT spending money. Thoughts?

Ohh and I had an awesome run today cuz I FINALLY put together my gym mix for my ipod. It makes such a big difference having every song pump you up:) ANDDD I have a ton of great new songs downloaded thanks to a very nice belated bday presents from my gals. Thanks MC and GE!

Oh so I had 2 interviews last thurs for recruiting positions. neither of them seemed like an interview but guess they were. I asked great questions - both interviewers said so! - but I am still so unsure if this is what I need to do at this point in my life. I really feel like I have to make it to manager at my co and only then can I move on. I don't know...so much to think about.
