Seems like a long time since I wrote here, even thought it was really only a few days. I'm back from Vegas and feeling well-rested (time change is nice) and productive. Kristen picked me up and we grabbed some dinner so I could do a quick pouring of my thoughts on the weekend...though there weren't too many. I got home and checked e-mailed and paid my bills online. It was nice to see that work is definitely surviving well without me. In my opinion, that means I did a good job transferring info over. I've never been one to hide knowledge as a controlling mechanism. I hate that so many people do that. Be wanted because you can do the job, not because you're trying to make it so that no one else can. I got a nice e-mail from a person on my new team saying how excited they were that I'd be joining the team. Very nice.
Oh, so I was away. First, before I left, I spent Thursday eve with Scott. We went to Arundel Mills and did some shopping...I got two new "work shirts" but am still in search of some good shoes and a new purse and a belt or two. I need to diet too 'cause I didn't buy the pants loose. Oh, so we walked around a bit and then went to see "White Noise." I thought it looked stupid, but we both enjoyed it and thought it did a good job of making you tense the whole time. I got home and packed and asleep by 1 to get up at 7.
Lots of traveling to get to Vegas. We got there and it was rainy. We did a lot of walking Friday and Saturday....found some good restaurants and checked out the casinos. Unfortuantely all the walking in the rain gave me YUCKY blisters. Ouch. So, by Sunday I still walked but wasn't feeling it. Last night Chris went out on his own. He did lots of stuff that I wouldn't have minded doing, but at the same time I enjoyed my evening in and saved some $$. I did lose my max amount set, but I do enjoy the chance of having a bunch of extra money. heh. So, yeah, I can't go to casinos too often. Oh, Sunday the sun did come out and it was AMAZING how much more you could see. A lovely area once you look past the fancy casinos....their nice mountain back-drop.
I'm glad to be home. I'm excited about February. I feel a bit out of sorts with myself, but think that's changing soon. Yeah..
