You winter haters make me sad.
However.
In addition to my normal 60+ hour a week workload, I'm now being asked to go take several days to deliver a training program to people in another part of the company.
In CANCUN.
(I said yes.)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

There's a part of your company in Cancun, Brenda? :P
I myself need to quit flirting over chat with a 21 year old. Who is adorable and wicked smart...and already in a two year long relationship. Besides, they both live all the way across country. Bad meara. Bad.

Who knew? We do have a Mexico City and a Monterrey office, so I assume they've got some sort of conference going on that dictates the location? I'm not asking.

A friend of mine was supposed to be attending a meeting in Cancun. Leaving February 9 ... when all the airports were closed due to snow. And we were supposed to be having a Board meeting in Orlando, which no one from staff - or our president - could attend. oops

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
oh, brenda...the sacrifices you make for your job. They have no idea what you do for them.
I actually enjoy winter and this has been a fairly decent one. Cold? Sure but not crazy cold. Snow? Sure but not crazy snow. At least none that could be dealt with. Of course, Chicago is better equipped to deal with it than many other places.

Our CEO was supposed to be at our latest quarterly meeting in DC a couple of weeks back and ended up stuck in Dubai. (Rough life.)

Getting stuck in Dubai ... better than Dulles! at least in Dubai it's warm (or warmer). And you can probably get out of the airport.

I'm so glad I'm the only person on our team (besides my boss) certified to train this program. No drama!

And no chance someone else goes. Heh. Even if my boss was that type, which she is not, I know this shit inside and out which she doesn't, and she's always been frank about the fact that I'm really good at presenting it. So it's happy circumstance and merit, paying off in the form of tequila and sandy beaches. Score!

Happy birthday, Beverly!

Continued vibes to you and yours, Jessica.
I hate that I can't keep up so much around here. This baby care thing is kicking my ass. Infants are not for the weak, man. I seriously had no idea how hard it would be. I love my guy, of course, but he is a handful. I don't know how single mothers do it. Or mothers of colicky babies. Yikes!
ETA: Yay for baby Ryan! Go, dude!
