'Moving forward...'

that's a phrase I use pretty often in my line of work. People always seem to want to know what happens if your initial idea doesn't work, so it's best to provide them a strategy you have in mind.

Life hasn't changed much for me, but I can feel that the ascension has started to level out (proverbially speaking). Rebuilding doesn't seem to be as daunting as it was several months ago. Obviously, things are very different than they are now.

This coming weekend, I'm looking forward to because I'm finally able to take my kiddies out for some recreation. We're going to a museum/kid-friendly activity center in San Francisco with some of my new friends (from work). I'm quite flattered to have been invited to join the cool kids (as I refer to them at work) even though everyone probably just thinks we're dorks...which is fine with me.

My book binge is still ongoing, and I have just finished with my 14th book this month. I had no idea I read so many of them till someone else pointed that out to me. She said to me, 'I see you in here with a new book just about every day. You're not actually reading them are you?'. I really like people who give me shit as much as possible. But besides that, it only then occurred to me that I had been reading a lot of books since starting this job.

Some good news for me; I recently was given a monthly Customer Service award by my company. The email I got from the customer still has me floating to say the least. It's strange too, because just yesterday, I wrote a 4 paragraph email to someone's boss in acknowledgement of them doing a fantastic job (in a very touchy situation). The Tech handled it so well, I asked her to give me her bosses email address so I could let her know how impressed I was with her service. Karma maybe? If so, she's definitely keeping my lap warm right now.

Stop grinding Karma, or I'll make you sit underneath my desk. What? I guess that'd be fine too!!
