Okay, Monday feels like it was weeks ago. Did I really drive into the city to meet with the CIO of a large insurance company just 4 days ago? The meeting went well, but I realize that the deal that has been brewing for 2 years (!!!) is not even close to coming to fruition. (sigh) Life as a salesperson. I have zero patience which is not good in these situations.
This has been an interesting week. I’m engaged in lots of “activity”, but there sure ain’t a lot of folks opening their purse strings. I guess it is better to have something to do, althoug these “activites” (demos, due diligence, software evaluations, etc) seem more like an academic exercises, rather than real business purchasing situations.
I was thinking today… remember – just a few months ago – when were were crying over the price of gas? Can we go back to those days, PLEASE?
Anyways…. TGIF people:
- I’m happy that there are at least 3 more baseball games before the season officially shuts down for the Winter. Can we stretch it out to 5 more games? I am rooting for the Phillies (I’m a National league gal) but I do appreciate the Tampa Bay “story” (they lost the most games of any team last year – well maybe except for the Giants – and this year they are in the World Series, it’s a good “Cinderella” story).
- I’ve been planning to walk the Lafayette Reservoir 10k for months now (it’s an annual tradition). Got a nice group of folks joining me. Here’s a shocker: Mr. Pete will be joining us too (!!!) Noone is more shocked than I. We’ll see if I can get him out of bed Sunday am… Regardless I’m looking forward to a fun walk on Sunday with the gang, with Brunch at Chow Lafayette to follow.
- I’ve been invited to a “Call Party” to support the Obama campaign Sunday afternoon. Basically like-minded Democrats will meet up in a social environment and make calls to undecided voters in an attempt to persuade them to vote Obama. I am of two minds about this. Part of me understands that this is an important election and it is crucial to do what we need to do to enact a change in administration. Another part of me feels like it is each voters’ right to vote for whomever he/she feels is the right choice. Who am I to tell someone what to do? Perhaps I’m overthinking this due to the fact that I am personally feeling “harrassed” into voting Republican. Refer to blog post of 10/19/08.
- Oh! Which reminds me… I invited a friend to join me at the Call Party. I got a response back from her telling me that she’s a registered Republican so it might not be a good idea. LOL, Oops! I am totally fine with her position and am not at all interested in trying to get her to change her allegiance.
- Happy Happy…. SOOO Happy that although it is cold in the mornings, the afternoons have been amazingly warm & beautiful.
