Whew! I was exhausted just reading! I feel bad for anyone that goes into Manhattan and doesn't get to sight see and catch a show, but that's because I've only been there once! (I don't count the six hours I spent while Jamie was interviewing at Columbia-although we did get to see David Letterman!) I loved reading about what you do, but you need to give more details! Where do you work most of the time and how often are you back there? How do you like this new job? What are the people like? How do these meetings work? Maybe I should just pick up the phone.
Reba you NEED me! I could have easily cleared 15 minutes off your day by picking up your presentation materials! LOL See you THIS Tuesday!!! :)
Um, are we supposed to feel sorry for you? Lol. Reading this makes me miss my power career days! But truthfully I never liked to do those kind of days more than once in a row.
Yeah, I had a couple of days like that a few weeks ago when we tried to get together for lunch. Sheesh, they are exhausting!
Let me know when you are back in UT so we can try to get together for lunch again.
Happy Birthday Reb! I hope you had a day full of celebration. I wish I were a little closer so I could give you birthday greetings in person! :)
