Not your ordinary case of the Mondays…
Happy Opening Week of Baseball y’all! I am so glad it’s finally the start of the baseball season. And this time for real. Here’s to an exciting summer of baseball and hopefully a championship for my Yankees.
I cannot believe how busy I’ve been the past couple of weeks. And here I thought it would all settle down while I was on break from classes.
Silly me.
But classes start this week as does the start of our official event season here at work so things are gonna be a little wacky this week too but hopefully not too much because I’ve been experiencing some serious blogging withdrawals.
Though what will be exciting is to see just how my job duties will begin to take shape. My boss and I have been flying along figuring out what it is I exactly do. I’m sure we’ll still be making things up as we go along for another month or so but at least now with the event stuff starting to happen that’ll help us to narrow down what I’ll need to be able to take care of. Because most of the stuff only comes to mind when you have to do them.
Which is exciting because I can really see the potential of turning this job into more than just an “executive assistant” type of position, even though my boss doesn’t consider me to be an assistant…we stick with coordinator. Which I like even more. Oooh, I wonder if I can get business cards. I’ll have to remember to ask him once the new phone system gets put in and I get to move desks. Hopefully that’ll happen sometime before the year is out.
That’s enough work talk though.
So here’s more exciting news: I’m going to Seattle! I’m so excited. I’d been talking about flying up to visit Amalia since she moved there last year or so and after some prodding from Virgin America in the form of a promo code for 30% off, I finally got my butt in gear and booked my flight.
I’ll be going up for a weekend of fun, frivolity and hopefully some good eats. Because y’all know I’m gonna try to make a stop at Cupcake Royale. Forreals though. I think I may have already picked my flavors.
You can never accuse me of not having my priorities straight, that’s for sure.
I’m doing a call for places to visit, things to do and stuff to eat while I’m in Seattle. Anyone?
Oh, and in the spirit of state solidarity: go Michigan State! Win one for the Mitten.
And I don’t even feel dirty for saying that.
