Well, I survived my first work trip.  I was away from George for two nights and I managed OK.  Of course I missed him and was anxious to wake him when I got home last night.  My main personal goal for NY was SLEEP.  What was I thinking?!?!  I hadn't seen these people in some time and we needed to catch up, socially.  So dinners started at 8 pm and went easily until midnight.  Then work started at 8 am.  So much for all the sleep.  I sleep better at home.  But, it was fun, good to see everyone, and excited to start thinking about WORK again!

One interesting point . . . there was a lot of work drama.  You know, the usual political work stuff.  What's interesting for me is how much less it all matters now.  Some are upset about the change in things for our team, but I am excited!  I'm rare I guess because I usually embrace change.  With the right attitude, change can be fun.  In this case, I get to work with some new people, focus on some new projects and learn some cool new things!  That's exciting!!  I just want to keep earning my same salary, stay working/living in Denver, and START CONTRIBUTING again!!  Now, who I work FOR is important as well, but I REALLY LOVE the new boss-lady I will have and I'm excited about her energy and her ideas.  It will be a fun time and a good way to come back to work.  I hope between the two of us, we can inspire others with our optimism and ideas!!  ;)
