Im still feeling like I cant quite keep my head above water. And now the sudden rush of men has me reeling a bit. Im not quite so sure how I feel about all of it, and Im sure Im going to do something to screw things up (if I havent already), so why even put forth a ton of effort and energy into the man thing when Ive got so much other stuff on my plate anyway? Though, the attentions been a nice distraction from the work woes.
Tomorrow I go back to Dallas. Just for meetings. And that kind of sucks and makes me sad that I cant see any of my old friends. I was hoping to at least see Lovely Leah for a few brief moments, but we have dinner with our customer and I dont even know where thats gonna be.
Im bracing for tornados tonight and tomorrow morning. We fly out at 7:30am on the little, tiny corporate jet. I hope the storms have passed by then. Those pilots are sort of daredevils and they tend to fly through anything. I have work to do on the plane too, but I have trouble concentrating when theres turbulence. I suppose Ill deal with it if and when it happens. Why worry about it right now?
Im more worried about what to pack. I swear, working for a company that is extremely casual in dress code makes it hard when I go back to these big corporate pow wows. What the hell am I going to wear?
Heres another dilemma that Im struggling with: Ive been invited to a girls weekend with a few co-workers. Its my counterparts 40th birthday, and Im actually very flattered that she asked me to join them because she has a tendency to be extremely exclusive with her friendships. I would loooove to go, but we would be leaving on a Friday night after work and coming back to town on Sunday. The destination is a three-hour drive away. Ill be flying in from Chicago on Friday afternoon, and Ill be flying back to New York probably Sunday night. That leaves me no weekend free time to decompress. I so value my decompression time. And I know that the four of us would inevitably be constantly talking about work because thats what we all have most in common.
What do I do? Do I say no and look like a selfish beeyotch, or do I say yes and endure a weekend that will be kind of uncomfortable and have to immediately turn around and spend another full week of days and nights with my co-workers (note: the NY trip is for customers and vendors and it is a weeklong meeting, dinner, and partyfest ugh .yes, fun..but exhausting and many times annoying)?
Well, tornado sirens are going off, and looks like the big storm is on its way, so Im going to sign off for now.
