Now that I'm through with the burial and memorial and caught up at work, I have a chance to breathe and post here. Whew.
Kat, I understand your loyalty to the folks that got you through a very tough time in your life. As an employer, I would totally appreciate you! However, I also have understood when employees have had to leave for opportunities that benefited them more. I urge you to reframe that one so you can sleep a little better at night. You're being upfront about your needs, and they *will* understand.
Heck, even my D20 got a better paying job back at Maggiano's than I could pay her for working here. You have to take care of yourself.
Today I've been taking a little detour from work to make some travel plans. First on the agenda is to head to upstate NY in October for my D20's volleyball tournament on home court, which will also have to be parents' weekend since the real one is a week later and they'll be out of town. Mr. Wonderful, D17 and I are traveling together again, LOL. It's been awhile, and it still kind of cracks me up. Anyway, she's thrilled.
My credit cards are getting an additional workout, as she booked her flights home for Christmas. I feel like I should own some stock in the airlines.
Gineen, next on my agenda will be to book my trip to the NYC area. I'm trying to add a couple days prior to meet with clients on Long Island and in Brooklyn. I need to confirm those appointments, and then I'll confirm with my travel buddy and clear with you. Then I'll be good! I'm excited about that one.
Other than that, same old same old. Nothing exciting to report.
