Day of the Dead

I thought I'd share that one of my co-workers, Dave Johnson, was killed last night in a car accident. It was a punch in the gut. He turned 51 the day before yesterday. I haven't known him long (1 month) but I was overwhelmed from my own and the grief surrounding me at work today. Makes you take a second look at the people around you, knowing they could be gone in an instant. For some reason I feel like I may have been put in this place (job that I hate) for this reason for these people. I think that we go through things in our lives, learn from them and go on to touch other people's lives with our newfound or aged wisdom.

These days

I thought I'd have more time for doing things AFTER I graduated, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Now I have to work 7-5 every day. Add the half hour of traffic before and after work and my days are pretty much shot! I was going to quit and go to Real Estate school. Mike was going to support me and to pay for it, but then we had a meeting at work and they really wanted me to stay. They think I'm a great asset and that I could do great things for them. They think that I can get my foot in doors that guys wouldn't be able to. So now I'm an Inside Safety Salesperson. I had told the Vice President that I'm not interested in inside sales because I don't want to be tied to the phone and be surrounded by four walls everyday. He assured me that I would have the opportunity to move into Outside Sales. For now I'm the Shaw contact. They have a contract with FEMA for post-hurricane clean-up and we are one of their main distributors. It's funny because Mike is now the representative of Shaw for the safety committee at the plant that he works at! Weird.
