I should be doing a million things but I am kind of stuck right now. I need to sort through it all and just prioritize. Some of the stuff we tend to stress over turns out to be totally meaningless.
I checked the weather at Bellagio and it's in the 80s so I am bringing summer clothes. I have one more load of laundry to do and a trip to the drugstore for 2 items I forgot to get yesterday. Although I might just skip it. I was lucky that I didn't burn down the house this morning.
I finally figured out that I was talking to the wrong people at work and I managed to now get the information I need. Now, I need to pull it all together and I am just tired. I hate working while I am flying but I might just have to. I need to figure out what I want to print out and hand out. <sigh> This should not be stressing me out. Why am I sharing these boring details here?
Because two calls I had were incredible for me. It's amazing how we never really know how we impact other people's lives. I took a chance and sent an email to a former colleague to see if he could help me out. He called me in 2 minutes ready to help. We had a long chat about tons of different topics. He told me that he'd like to work for me when I get back because he missed working with someone who was not political, level headed, results oriented and has fun in the process. Wow. I wasn't expecting that at all. It was so sweet and really touched me. And he was also able to help me to boot!
And then, my second call was also very helpful and we also touched on a couple of areas, including workplace craziness. But I have a 20 mb PowerPoint to make sense of now. His email said: "Have a nice weekend my friend – it is great to have you as a friend you are a dear friend." Wow, I got teary eyed.
