EWR to ORD

December 7, 2007

For all my loyal readers out there (all 2 of you) I thought I would write you another drunken airport post. For the record, I am in much worse shape than I was in my last drunk post. Typing is a biatch right now. This time I have had 2 glasses of wine and not a ton to eat. For some reason, I think my tolerance is getting lower.

Anyway…for some reason, every time I am in the Newark airport I find it necessary to get a little schnokered (I have no idea if that is how you really spell it but I am going with it). This time I was not by myself, I had partners in crime (however, I am pretty sure I am the only one that managed to get a massive “buzz”) , (has anyone ever noticed that I use a lot of parenthesis?)

I digress (man this is hard drunk). ANYWAY…I just had dinner and drinks with my team and it managed to make the last three days a little more palpable. I am just now leaving our annual sales meeting and it was terrible. I love the people on my team, we really do have a fun group but that doesn’t override the fact that my company hates my division. We only make up about 40% of overall sales with 2 accounts (if you can’t tell, I am being extremely sarcastic) yet the company acts like we are complete idiots and takes every chance it can to bash us.

This is not what I am used to when it comes to a typical sales meeting. For those not in the business world, sales meeting are typically BIG motivators. They are a way to kick off the new year with a good start. This year, our sales meeting left me thinking that I should update my resume and give it to a couple recruiters.

Anyway…at dinner, my boss informed me that our presentation went over well with the big wigs and he plans to get me a promotion in the near future. We’ll see if that actually ever happens (I am doubtful but optimistic…is that possible?)

OK, this typing business is far too difficult for my current state so I am going to move on to something a little less difficult. McSteamy, McDreamy, and the rest of the addictive show. Thank goodness for abc.com!
