Only a week in the life…

June 29th, 2008

Hello, hello! right on, been only a week since my last post, and curious to find the last one never saved. Wondering also how the comments got turned off, as I don’t remember having done that. Oh well, life goes on.

Last week was killer, and not the good kind. Trained and did a ride-along with a rep up in Northern New Mexico, cover another reps route, be overjoyed with one and the complete and utter blessing of being able to invite them to the team, and not quite as happy with another.  You know of course I have a team of 8 peeps to manage?  There are days that are so ADC, or Adult Day Care.  You who have not spent at least 6months in people management, or had children (mine are 2 and [-]3months) you probably cannot relate.  Two long drives to T or C and back finished my week off, and Saturday couldn’t of come sooner. Had a melt-down of sorts in convo with my boss, we mutually decided if Jess would agree, adding her to the team in a very part-time manner would be a brilliant way to keep some of the “details” of my responsibilities in check. This would not only alleviate frustration on my end with aforementioned details and free me to concentrate more on my other duties, but please the office in Deming that was ready to string me up at times over my mistakes. God is so good!
Yesterday went to the flea with the fam, even had Asher’s “PapaBruce” along. Scored a better than current “travel-system” (Stroller, car-seat/car-seat base) for $35 buckaroos, a few non-fictions to add to the manager library, and a couple of trance/progressive CD’s for a buck apiece. Cannot complain, and all happily gained with less than $50 dollars. I love the flea, it’s like one-hundred garage/yard sales all lined up for perusal and purchases. Also gained Asher his first pair of DC Shoes (I can dream he’ll turn pro-skater at 11), what might those cost? $2! barely used, and clean/good to go! EEK even got him a starter skateboard that fits his 27month-size just right. Can life get any sweeter?

I oughta quit it with the procrastination here, I’ve work to do this afternoon to be prepared for the next 48 hours. Don’t really want to fire one of my salespeople, but it might just be the crisis they need to see God and His plan for them more clearly. Have another employee ready to be promoted, so that might commence this week as well. Eventually I’ll get back to my mid-week Bible study group. Naturally I’d be really excited about the study materials and direction the group has begun to take and I’ve been really too busy to be able to attend. My quiet time is still there though, Praise God for that!
