Week in Review

I know I'm not the most consistent blogger, but I'm an important person, and I have alot going on in my life, so please just bare with me. I've decided to combine my last week's events into one blog. This whacky weather has definitely put a spin on my regular weekly activities.

Basically, I knew I was in for a long week when on Monday I was strolling to the Verizon store as a little break from work, and an obsession I currently have with the need for a new phone. I was honestly 10 steps away from the store when I felt a slightly painful "PLOP" on my arm. "What the crap?" I said out loud... and literally "crap" it was of the bird kind, directly on my sweater sleeve. I think I hung up on whomever I was on the phone with, ran to open skies, and set my purse down, only to find that crap had amazingly made in inside my bag, on my wallet, and in the little inside pocket I keep chapstick and gum in. Amazing. I actually applaud that damn pigeon for his/her stunning target skills.



Then it was Tuesday, and a rather chilly Tuesday from what I remember. I had an early morning because I like to get my haircuts before work, so on my way to work, with my glamorous new hairdo I stopped at my most favoritest hot chocolate spot in the valley. (I had to cover the label for protection purposes), this is a quaint little coffee house, with it's own style and I prefer to keep it that way. This was my first stop of the season, and even though I dread fall and winter with every fiber of my being, my "hot" spot has helped me through the forever long dreary season. Special thanks to my peeps at my coffee spot.


Wednesday was just a regular ol' day at the office, nothing much to report.

Then, it was Thursday... A big day for a "Newbie" sales rep at IKON. I had

my first sell! I went out on Thursday morning, got the lease papers signed all by myself (after having co-worker, Eric, tell me exactly what to say), and before I left the head of sales thought I did such a great job he decided to offer me a job. I guess there are just very few of us amazing working women out there and I now have people pleading with me to work for them after only 2 months in the business. Sheesh. Anyway, not only was this my first sell, but it was also the biggest sell of the day, which awards me as BANANA OF THE DAY! I have no idea where the whole "banana" idea came from, but I got to sit with the banana balloon on my desk all day... and I felt like a winner.

Only problem is now the office assumes I know what I'm doing... this is far from actuality.

Fridays are always the best day at work. For some reason no one seems to think it's important to actually "work" on Fridays, so the day consists of co-workers showing up late, taking a couple hours for lunch, and then taking off around 3. I, being the newbie, don't feel quite comfortable enough to take advantage of all these traditions, but I'm sure my day will come. However, since Friday was the last day of our fiscal year our manager let us leave at 2... and no one complained or refused.

Things to look forward to: PUMPKIN CONCRETE at Nielsen's Frozen Custard (only available for the month of October.) I was supposed to refrain from desserts for the month of October, but on October 1st I couldn't fight my craving for the long-awaited pumpkin concrete... I gave in... and it was worth every calorie :)
