Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my job?! I really do. I enjoy the different challenges that I face every day, and sometimes...sometimes, I get to be the hero. I take pride in the work that I do. That being said....I HATE when I receive a phone call in the middle of the night for anything that does not at least resemble an emergency! Most staff have realized that I am not much of a "NO" guy. I have no problem politely declining a mid night work invitation in certain situations, but the majority of the time I will just take care of it. At least I find enjoyment in the faces of the night shift whenever I am in the building at that time..Rumors of fire drills start to spread, people frantically grab their coffee cups from the handrails, and move their carts out of the hallway..It can be fun.
What a wicked crazy week at work so far... I am gearing up to take over an additional department, and I am fascinated by the responses I am receiving. Some of my very near future staff members are excited, some have mixed emotions about the change, and at least 2 are downright upset about it! Some people are resistant to change, and there will be a lot next month. Should be an interesting month.
This weekend, a Saturday golf tournament and some much needed time with my boys!
On a different note, I have been working out only lightly this week due to the problems I had last week, I am supposed to "take it easy" I know I am not able to do that at work, so I toned down the workouts. I weigh in on Thursdays, but I cheated today and weighed a day early. I am so close to meeting my first stage goal, and I am so excited! Went for a couple drinks with one of my account managers yesterday, and he started cross-fit a month ago and had so many great things to say about it, so I am seriously thinking I might have to give it a try..which, unfortunately means changing gyms, but we'll see.
I spoke with an old friend recently who got me a job interview with a pretty big corporation. Great pay, a lot of travel, but a possible relocation to Arizona...Today, I turned it down. This is one of those roads in life that I feel I made the right turn, but there's always going to be that...let's say, curiosity about it. It was nice to be considered, and the big mistake was turning it down today, and not waiting until after a free trip to play golf in Scottsdale. Too late. :) There really is a delicate balance between the importance of salary and satisfaction.
