Busy, Busy Week

It has been a fairly hectic week. I have been swamped at work.

Aside: Yes, I realize that I am blogging from work, and that could be perceived as not being busy, but I am, I just needed a break.

I have been in meeting after meeting all week. We have had a number of different reps on site training our staff and presenting on software upgrades for the entire week. I wasn't given too much notice, and therefore found myself double and triple booked. However, I managed to work it all in, although I felt somewhat like a little butterfly, flying all over the office and not really staying too long in any meeting. I guess some of the managers and leaders decided at the last minute that it would be a good idea to have the L&D advisor sit in on these meetings, so when it comes time to train the rest of our internal employees I have some idea of what we actually use these programs for. It is a good thing that I learn stuff relatively quickly, otherwise we would have some big problems. I don't even use any of these programs that I am going to have to develop internal training for. However, I am pretty confident I can make it happen and do a good job. I was told by a co-worker of mine on more than one occasion in the last couple of weeks that there has been a definite increase in the amount of L&D that has occurred in the organization since I arrived. That made me feel pretty good.

As for my personal life, things are extremely busy and going well. I had supper with friends on Monday night, went bowling with co-workers and did some power exercising on Tuesday, took in a Aquafit class last night, and now I have some house cleaning to take care of over the next couple of days. The next 2 nights should be somewhat more relaxing. Other than hitting the gym after work, I should be maxing and relaxing at home. My house is still fairly clean since MFJ visited, but it could use a quick vacuum. My BFF is coming to visit this week, so I want to make sure my home is in tip-top shape. Not that she would really care.

We have a full weekend of manless entertainment planned - Eating, Shopping, Drinking, Eating, Girl Talk. Sorry folks, no pillow fights.
