Phew!!!
Wow, I was a bit over-stimulated during my earlier posting today! ;-) Well, everything turned out after all. We had a tough first few minutes when I arrived at the collaboration meeting. The GDs/MPs/Video peeps had a conference call with the customer earlier in the day, and he brought up the subject of content (Which they freaked out about because they didn't feel comfortable speaking to that subject) but basically relayed a message of a more detailed request of what he wanted to see...Wellll...that certainly would have helped us out a BIT more yesterday BEFORE I stayed up all night to write the content! ;-) But that's what we had, and at first thought we had a scare that all the content would have to be re-written...and that YES weekend work would be required to get it done...which meant weekend work for ONLY Beth...In my mind I was crying internally about having to cancel the Toronto trip, and also crying that I had just completely failed on trying to impress my new boss with my work. But, as we continued talking and looking at the content that I had written, it turned out OK! Actually, I had nailed it pretty closely, and although my intro/WIIFM page needed a little tweaking, we were actually right on target. What I thought would be a weekends worth of work, turned out to be only an hours worth of edits once I made it back to my desk! WAHOOOOO!!! Yipppeeee! What a relief.
So I ended the work day by running (actually driving...but very quickly) to a dinner meeting my Volunteer group...for the first of our newly established monthly dinners. We ate at Shiki and when we were kicked out because it was so busy and they needed our table, we moved down the street to the South Wedge Diner. It was GREAT! I love my group! And once we start talking we just can't stop! We met at 6 and I left to go home around 9!!! Anyway, I gotta run again because Seymen's waiting for me to get moving back to mom's house. I'm so busy, I don't even have time to relax and make my blog entries! :-(( Next week hopefully!!!
