Working, Running, Sleeping-- in that order.

Hellllllllo! Wow-- So one thing I've said since I started working for this international technology company is that I never want to work as many crazy hours the Executives I support do-- they never sleep! One thing that is so unique about my job is that even though it's my first one, I am working for General Managers and Vice Presidents of the largest technology company in the world! I am having top level discussions with people who don't even know that I am a SUPPLEMENTAL employee.

My General Manager-- my boss' boss is over 90,000 people, and I am managing all her communications projects that go out to those 90,000+. That realization literally just came to me while I was taking a shower five minutes ago. If I don't see promise in this job then I'm as blind as my puppy dog, Boobs, back home! I just hope that promise comes in the next few months-- not that I'm not happy doing exactly what I'm doing, but I would just love to be living in STL around my friends and family while saving a hell of a lot more money than here in San Fran while doing it.

But I will wait as long as it takes for something to come along. Speaking of Boobs from earlier-- Dad says she's not doing the best which makes me sooo unbelievably sad. I just hope she can hold out 8 more days for me to see her again-- I mean who am I kidding, she may live for another year or so, but Dad sent me a text last night saying she can't get up on the couch or chair anymore and that she just sleeps in the floor the whole time. And she is completely blind now :-(

I can't wait to be back in STL with my puppy dog living with me!!!-- or at least back in Missouri with her.

Training is going really great. I admit, I was really slacking there at the beginning. I would go to the team workouts, but couldn't be motivated to do it on my own. Now I would rather do it on my own most days-- especially this week, I've ran an hour straight two days! Might not sound like much, especially when I only can run four miles in an hour(15 minutes per mile). But I was not even doing anything up until I started at the beginning of July! And this is only the fifth week of training with the team! So, yes, I'm doing good. But I still need to raise 600 more dollars in a month. Hope that happens :-S

Anywho-- I'm working like crazy-- huge changes happened on my team where I am now managing over ten projects and it's crazy, but I'm really enjoying it and that makes me think-- Will I end up like one of those Executives I work for?? Working all those crazy hours?! It just might happen-- :-O

This weekend I'm going down South to hang out with my new friend, Travis, who is actually from Farmington and went to SEMO. But we didn't meet until a mutual friend had us message each other on fb a few months ago. We've hung out once before and he's a lot of fun-- think we are going to a comedy club which is always awesome. And then it's just 4.5 work days until I will be on my way to my favorite place on Earth!

Good night. Btw-- you're the only one who reads this whoever you are, you should feel special. Byeeeeee.
