While I'm in Colorado this week I have some down time at night. My original plan was to get caught up on chapters for my book, but I just can't bring myself to do it on my work laptop. Something about it doesn't feel right. I need my personal laptop to work on my book and I didn't bring it with me. I mean who would want to carry around two laptops in an airport. Not this girl.
So the things I couldn't talk about until they're officially announced was one I'm officially moving to Colorado. Hubby and I are in the process of buying our first home and everything. I'm meeting with the inspector for breakfast tomorrow actually. It seems like we have gotten most of the hard stuff over with, now we just have to wait for the closing date to get here.
The other thing is that my site is going virtual. Meaning all of the employees will get to work from home. I'm pretty excited for the change. It's something I have never done before and I'm looking forward to the new technology that comes with the virtual platform.
I'm of course not working from home as I'm moving to Colorado, but my site there will get to use the same techologies. And I was on a call today that said we might be going virtual here too in as little as six months....but who knows. So many things could change in six months.
The more time I spend at my new site the more I realize how much I'm needed here. There is just so many things here that need my attention I feel like I could be there open to close 7 days a week and still not get all of my work done. I have to force myself to go home otherwise I would never leave. Around the time someone asks me, "Why are you still here?" is when I go home.
I have learned that some people are scared of me here. Some say it's because now they know they'll have to do their job and some just don't know me and think I'm going to be a real hard ass. Well I know I have to play the politics and be sensitive and not burn all of my bridges...well not right away at least.
I have been pretty stressed out recently with all of these changes coming and I find it hard not to show it to my friends and co-workers. I know everyone knows it so they try not to bother me, which isn't always a bad thing. It's just with the whole process of buying a home, moving 600 miles away, the transition to the virtual platform, getting used to the ways of a new site, the 20th anniversary company celebration where the Governor of CO, some State Senate, and CEO of the company will be there, the bachelorette party, bachelor party, and the wedding going on all by the end of April. Oh and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be going to Cincinnati soon to visit i-wireless head quarters. Yeah, my head is spinning just a little bit.
Okay, deep breath I only need to last two and a half more months and things will start to slow down. Or at the very least things will slowly come off my list and hopefully not as many things get added to it.
And I think I'm going to stop here. After reading through my post I realized how disjointed it is, but I'm not even going to bother trying to fix it. My thoughts are pretty jumbled right now and I needed to get them all out there. Next time I'll just pick on topic and stick with it.
