Oh Iowa!

Just a cute lil BooBoo!

• My meeting has gone exceptionally well.  I feel so much better having me the rest of the teams and getting to know some personalities and skill sets.
• My presentation was awesome.  We totally killed it and people are still talking about it a day later.
• I got the performance rating I had wanted.  My current boss had nothing to do with it, as it carried over from my old job.  Yay me, another year of hard work and crappy sites paid off.
• I got white girl wasted last night.  It was super fun, my boss's boss's boss LOVES me!  Everyone was total wastey pants last night and there wasn't one tiny bit of awkward about it this morning.
• My co-worker (Mr. WI) and I left at about 1am.  I had to go to his room to get my jacket.  I ended up cuddling with him (totally platonic, he's happily married) and passing out for an hour!  So not my intention, but sometimes it's nice to cuddle with a a very good looking and physically fit man.  It's a shame he's another one who snores so loudly.  It's actually his snoring that woke me up.
• My co-worker that I'm sharing a room with told me she didn't sleep well until I came back to the room, which was about 2am.  Her motherly instincts are kicking in!
• I think my type is changing.  Mr. WI is the 2nd in a row of the talk dark and handsome persuasion.  He also has killer blue eyes, and the most adorable smile.  And he's oh so WI that it makes me happy listening to him talk.  Every once in a while he says a phrase that will just floor me and make me super duper happy to be from such an awesome state, with a glorious northern accent.
• As he and I were walking in from dinner, we were teasing each other and our secretary said we sound like an old married couple.  We looked at each other and just laughed, he knows he can't compete with my real work husband and he mentioned he'd be way better.  I said he'd really have to work on it, I wasn't overly impressed thus far.  Then he said he won't change for anyone, to which I quickly retorted, just wait.  Everyone around us died laughing!  I really do love the new people I'm working with.  It's moments like those that make me remember why I chose to leave.
• For my first section meeting in 3 years I have to say these folks know how to party.  I've had almost more fun here than I did in all my years on CAT.  I think that says a lot about the people, the priorities, and the overall camaraderie of the new teams.
• I cannot wait for my first storm and chance to work with them all.  I sincerely hope they all work as hard as they play.
