RYN: [Elaine Benes]–Krab Kakes is on meds that keep her from having breakdowns. Since we share a cube wall, I can hear her every move, and vice versa. She can hear me tapping out this entry right now, and I can hear her crunching on something crunchy right now. I hear her phone conversations with her boyfriend (YES! She has one and he is super-sweet to her…I love him for that because he keeps her pretty happy when he can). I’ve also heard her cry–many times. When she gets overloaded with work, she cries. When she feels like it’s all getting to be too much, she will shed some tears, stand up, and walk out of the office. That behavior is accepted from her for some reason. I think it’s because she was once a big-time vice president for another company and feels that this job is somewhat beneath her, so she doesn’t mind risking anything. Still, she says she needs this job for a few more years in order to retire.
Strangely enough, that kind of attitude is pretty rampant around here, and it blows me away sometimes. People think that they can just skip out of here for most any reasons, and I am kind of resentful of that because I take my job very, very seriously. But I’m hoping to be able to take advantage of some of that attitude during the course of this year because I do have a wedding to plan, after all. Yes…I think I’ll play that card occasionally. Hmmmmm. This could turn out oaky. In fact, there was opportunity to interview for a Director position that I opted out of for two reasons: (1) becuase I’m in charge of developing Wedding products and I’m getting MARRIED, and (2) because I have a WEDDING to plan! Once all of this wedding stuff is done, I’m sure I’ll be so sick of All Things Wedding that I’ll want to move out of this area very quickly. Until then, I remain faithfully in this position.
Aneeeeyyyway, it’s Wednesday. I’m still working on getting my stuff together for TWO gigantic meetings that I have tomorrow. I’m having a bit of a procrastination bug–because I can (see attitude, above), and I feel like I want to document this time of my life.
Have I told you lately that MY LIFE ROCKS right now? I’m loving almost EVERY single moment of it! I promise to never, ever take this time for granted. I spent a little bit of time looking back over old entries, and WOW what a difference some time makes! Life is soooooo delicious right now, and I’m savoring it.
SexyPants I had did our mani-pedi date last night and it was such a fun time! We giggled like girls the whole time. I just love that guy! He makes me laugh like no other.
OH, and for the other RYN to [Elaine Benes], yes, I do plan on changing my name to Mrs. Pants. I didn’t think I was going to in the beginning of the engagement, but when SexyPants and I started joking around a little bit about it, I discovered that it was very important to him that I change my name. I’ve got a little bit of time to get it all resolved, but I know for sure that I’m not going to hyphenate becasue I’ve seen too many travel issues/problems happen to too many co-workers. I’m just going to go the full route and probably keep my last name here at the office because they seem to not be able to get a grasp of the whole name change thing here (email addresses and such).
Other RYNs:
Yes, I do have a Pinterest. If you are FB friends with me, check out my Pinterest via my real name.
And YES, those drinks were like crack! ; )
Love and JOY!
