It is your call and the only thing you can do is what is right for you. Transition. And part of it can even be fun, food choices that you prefer, hair length, decor, things you wanted to try but didn't. It isn't all bad.

Wishes for comfort for your family, Sail. RIP Chewie.

Within a month I had cut my hair to the length I like. I love my hair now. And I never have to eat his version of quiche ever again.

Congrats Glam!!

Connie I'm glad you like your hair and are feeling comfortable in the role of decider.

I got back from the vendor training I went to near Boston. It was good for the most part, disappointing in some parts.

There was some sales training that took away from the vendor time so I didn't get to see some of the vendors. Plus because of the time contstraints they divided us by what we normally sell so I didn't see any of the home theater or gaming stuff. Except the Kindle Fire TV that has games and a contoller.

It was also mostly "connections" (ie phones, automated home and tablet) related but there was some computer stuff. I impresssed the Intel, Microsoft and the Samsung tablet reps. The company divided us in groups and I was paired with one person so we got more time with the vendors. With the above mentioned vendors they were talking about stuff I sell everyday (or in the case of Samsung something I want badly the Tab S) so it was easy to pay attention and the Microsoft rep asked if I could explain the differences between the OFfice 365 products so I did and I explained the value. The intel guy was demoing a Yoga 2 pro, which I sell and now quite well so I showed him how I demo things with it and we talked about the intel processors.

I think I actually acted a bit fan girl-ish over the Samsung Tablets. It was the same thing - I knew most things but not all and then I also said "oh when I demo this for customers I do X or Y because blah blah". One of the reps made a comment about my enthausism and I joked "I'd come work for you guys" and mentioned some other event that she wanted to invite me too. I'm not sure if it's something I'll be allowed to go to (there are rules about certain things) but it sounded like a training thing. And she made sure she had my email address.

Which was a pretty awesome feeling.

I also learned we're having an all store meeting on Sunday AND that I'll be expected to share something that I learned durign the training. I think it's going to be assigned to me, but whatever, I'll figure out something.

Now I have to go to bed so I can get up and go to work tomorrow.

Sounds like a good meeting- you'll know what to do next time.

peace ma ~~ in sailaway's direction.

and I am in the not-dealing corner for elections. Too much of it does not make sense

Peace~ma, SailAway.

and I am in the not-dealing corner for elections

Right there too. I have totally avoided news and have watched a whole lot of Big Bang Theory.

It is good to hear your enthusiasm,askye. Very good to hear.

Sail I'm sorry about Chewie.

Laura, thanks I'm feeling so much better now that I'm tooth situation is healing. And I rode down with a supervisor I really like and respect (she started off as a sales associate) and another sales associate who I shared a room with. So it was just a fun, positive experience over all.

RIP, Chewie. Good dog.

Good night sweet Chewie. A flight of angels wing thee to thy rest.
