Yeah so today is supposed to be the first day of spring and what kind of weather advisory do we get...a winter weather advisory and our dear meteorologists are predicting 3-5 inches of snow and right now it is getting ready to sleet. What the heck! I definitely need to go south! But, I have more important things to worry about right now, so I'll just move on.
Last week was a blur at work and by the time I realized it, it was Friday afternoon and I'm trying to figure out what I've been doing the entire week. The President of the company called me into his office on Friday to tell me what he envisioned for my job and my department and wanted to get my input on everything. He also told me that starting this Tuesday, I'm going to have weekly meetings with our Controller (my boss), Director of Operations (C) and our billing department regarding accounts receivables and billing and report back to him summarizing our progress. I'm a little nervous, especially considering my first meeting is tomorrow afternoon at 4 pm. I'm leading these meetings and letting everyone know what needs to be done in order to improve some of our business procedures. Little ol' me...the one with 8 months of trucking experience telling men who have been in transportation for years the changes we need to make to be even more successful financially. However, I have also been informed that there will be incentives for the progress that I make, so I'm a little excited and hoping I can pull off something to make a noticeable difference. Wish me luck!
So anyway, after work on Friday, M and I hit a place in St. Charles for drinks before we went to see one of our favorite bands play at the Bottleneck Blues Bar. I was feeling really good by the time we left the first bar and all I can say is thank goodness I didn't drive! 4 Margaritas do quite a number on me and the Smirnoff Ices afterwards did not help either! We had a great time dancing though.
Sunday ended up being a pretty fun day too. M came over and we baked cookies for our friends down in Laredo and brownies for the office up here. C took our care package to Laredo today when he left on his business trip. Hopefully the boys down there will enjoy them. Pretty much it was just a little token of how appreciative we are that they continually help us straighten out our jobs up here. Then we talked about all of the crazy stuff that has happened the last few months. She and I have been through a lot and it's so great to have a friend that can relate to everything that the two of us have gone through, especially now that more and more people are giving me crap about a certain aspect of my life. Although I do think I'm going to have to have a talk with a few of these people that are starting stuff because for one, it is not professional and two, it could cause waaaaayyyy too many problems if anything else gets said, even jokingly. I guess this is the kind of stuff that people have to put up with in the real world.
One final note, I would like to wish my baby bro (who is now taller than me and much cooler also) a Happy Belated 19th Birthday! I know I called you on Friday and wished you a happy birthday, but it never hurts to say it twice. I hope you had a great time out with the guys and whenever you have a free minute, I'll take you out to celebrate too!

"and much cooler also"
It's so true.
I know...I don't lie about things like that.
Now, if you only you would start taking my advice on music.
