the next 2 days are going to be interesting.
by interesting i mean craaaaaaazy.
we have meetings back to back for two days straight. not just any meeting. we are talking about pretty much the whole company being flown out to a more central location for these meetings. all the head honchos from the states are coming in too.
everyone is probably here as i type this.
it’s the type of meeting where you dress a little fancier, watch your p’s and q’s – and apparently refer to some of these higher ups as “Mr. so and so” god forbid you use someones first name.
i’ve debated taking out some of my piercings – but screw that. this is me – the person they hired. if they don’t like it – oh well.
(i don’t think anyone i am referring to reads this blog lol – it’s a little too lowly for them anyways)
i looked over my agenda and they never indicated any breathing time. this is going to be intense! i am looking forward to putting some faces to voices…and seeing some of my favourite people in the flesh again.
The Hilton by the airport is probably happenin’ tonight. i am not sorry to be missing the shop talk but a little sorry i will be missing the ever flowing wine.
i think the hotel is completely booked with us. i opted out of spending the nights there.
a sure sign that i am getting older. i would rather sleep in my own bed and be in my own home.
so with these meetings comes the what the hell do i eat panic.
i can assure you that when break time comes i will be teased with bagels, muffins, donuts and anything else that is so not carb friendly.
we are getting lunches catered….but they only make exceptions for vegetarians.
this is where i get a little irked.
how hard is it to make someone something without…say rice or pasta?
anyway, i can always just not eat it…but then i hear my Greek mother yelling at me in my mind about all the starving children in the world…
and i swear i can feel her smack me.
true story.
dinner is a buffet so i am sure i can work around that.
the beverages will be flowing – but i feel no pressure partaking in the drinking festivities…as i have to drive home.
oh my boys will be so disappointed in me…
i leave as the real fun begins.
boo.
keep me in your thoughts. i could snap
i’ll be up extra early tomorrow morning. first stop – McDonald’s (for coffee) and then Shoppers for some snacks that will hopefully get me through the next 48 hours.
let the games begin!!!
Good luck…in everything. Keep some of those small packets of nuts in your pocket. They’ll fill you up and help avert your cravings. XXOO
Susan i was prepared with nuts 🙂
Good luck!
hmmm….Did the BEE end up at the Hilton?
haha 🙂 i did not spend my nights there…but it was a loooong 2 days!
