Letters from NYC

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!!!

Day 2 was even more exciting than the first. Darn, I wish I could write about the breakfast meeting. Had lots more training today on protocols and procedures. By 11:30am I was a bit tired and hungry and my attention span at a very low point so off I went to a farewell lunch w/my soon to be former collegue, who I'm replacing! I'm really going to miss her!

After returning to work I kept going non-stop absorbing, learning, reading, listening, contributing ideas until it was 3:00pm. Then my boss said: "you've done more than enough for one day, why don't you go out and have some fun." So I went to the bank to make a deposit and picked up a nice ice cold lemonade drink on my way back.

When I returned 15 min. later I wondered where everybody had gone. So I sat down to read some more briefings, when I was asked what I was still doing there. I must have had a look of confusion on my face, so a colleague pointed out that I was free leave. I tried playing it off by saying "Oh, he meant THAT kind of fun." That's when I was told that on Friday's in the summer, the staff usually starts leaving around 3:00pm.

Although I smiled and chatted for awhile, internally I was doing an incredible happy dance. So I got home early, picked up my son and spent extra playtime with him. I LOVE THIS JOB!
