you know what the midwest is?
Yeah, no journal entry yesterday. I felt like my ass totally got kicked. I drove out to Canton after lunch. Met with another sales analyst and then
got a tour of our warehouse. It was so overwhelming. Made me really appreciate how big the company I work for really is. I kind of get caught up in
our little office environment (we have three warehouses and three offices spread across the country). Plus, everything I deal with is on a much smaller
scale than the US...so it was, again, eye opening. The drive back to work was awful, though. Traffic wasn't 100% terrible---only about 75% terrible. I got back to
work like 35 minutes before 5. Talked with my boss for a few, answered an e-mail, and took some product out of boxes for my pal Lauren since she's been out of the
country and I told her I would help her out if I had some free time. I just knew when I got back to work yesterday, I couldn't do anything constructive: I had to
do something mindless.
Anyway, the point of blah-blah-blahing is because I got a headache yesterday and I spent most of the evening on the couch. I went to Marshall's and TJ's with my mom...thinking
that might wake my ass up...but it didn't and I went to bed at 11...
Mindless work was anything but what I did today. I spent all day comparing our products in Germany, Mexico, and Japan. Trying to figure out what models bleed into
each country. I didn't have much info to work with...so it was a lot of stone-age-methodology. I'm just glad that project is over and done with.
So my brother's birthday is Saturday. I just ordered his gifts. Does that make me an awful sister? The date just crept on me...and while finding him something has been
in the back of my mind...I didn't know what to get. Shit, I'm already keeping my eyes open for Christmas presents. I did that last year and it made the whole Christmas
shopping fiasco a hell of a lot easier.
We're not even doing anything on my bro's birthday. Like to "celebrate." He's been helping out with Dondero's Marching Band and they have a competition this Saturday and he's
intent on going. I'm supposed to go to Dally in the Alley with Krystn. Hopefully it doesn't rain (or else there will be no dallying in the alley). The season finale of Six Feet
Under is Sunday. Even if it's not sad, I am going to cry...almost a year without new episodes of the best show ever?!? How will I deal? LOL by maybe playing The Sims 2. Perhaps
I'll make the Fisher Family...
Though I'm not sure if The Sims 2 is gonna fly with my current video card. I do not want to buy a new video card. But I guess I will have to. Pooey.
Why do I check my work e-mail from home? I so should not do that.
