First a huge thank-you to my VBF for the award that is now sitting nicely to the right of this post. THANK YOU!
Secondly a big on-line apology to Ms. Madness for me being a freakin' idiot spazola two-year old moron last week. You are the best yoga teacher and a wonderful friend and I'm an idiot.
You both deserve more than a little mention at the top of my TTT, but (as you may see below) I'm tired and travel-worn..
Ten Things On My Desk in The Fairfield Inn in Huntsville, AL (can I please go home now????)
1) a 1.75 ounce bottle of Aquaphor -- never leave home without it (unless you forget it)
2) my beautiful, huge PowerBook G4 -- I love you G4
3) My stupid Motorola Razr -- it's stupid because now everyone I work with has in iPhone. I NEED ONE. After two months of constant needling on my part it looks like the bossman is going to give in later in the spring -- when the Razr is a year old... That is one of the reasons I love the bossman.
4) business card of the university president who is our client. Who called me into his office yesterday and expressed his "concerns" about our production (this is what we like to call a "come to Jesus" meeting -- I was the one coming to Jesus BTW)
5) an empty Planters Trail mix bag
6) a map of the campus of the University of the president who called me into his office yesterday -- did I mention that part?
7) my trusty black spiral 8" x 5" notebook where I write EVERYTHING down. including notes during my meeting with the president yesterday. furiously wrote notes -- to impress upon him that I understood his concerns and worries and of course he is the client but at some point dude YOU HAVE TO TRUST US. seriously, I kicked some ass.
8) three cards that allow myself and the guys to eat for free at the cafeteria at the university where the president called me into his office yesterday. we are not eating in the cafeteria. yesterday it was IHOP, local and wonderful Mexican place, Macaroni Grill. Today, who knows. considering our first appointment is to record the president who called me into his office yesterday, i'd say the food is going to be GOOD
9) my sweet little iPod Nano -- which is technically 9Pims -- but he's 9 and doesn't need an iPod so I took it
10)oh yes. the TALKING POINTS that were produced by the VP for development that upset my camera man/editor in front of the PR person that caused much controvesy among the university staff that caused me to be CALLED INTO THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE yesterday

you just admitted to being in Huntsville, AL
I'm actually all excited to go to Huntsville in April. My brother-in-law lives there, and it'll be nice to see him, plus I get to meet two of my best blogging buddies and do an all-in-the-same-room podcast for the Dark and Stormy Book Club. I can't wait!
Jobs. I don't miss mine. It's fine except for the OTHER PEOPLE you have to deal with!
This is a funny post, but maybe you don't think it's so funny. Yet.
Very glad Bossman is nice. When the rest of the world are less than logical, a supportive boss helps.
Go home soon!
Have a great Tuesday!
I'm unclear. You had to go into someone or the other's office yesterday, for something?
You did kick ass.
You'd better pick a really good place to eat today.
LOL never leave home without it (unless you forget it!)
Good that you kicked some ass!!
I recognized the spaz. That was a seriously funny post despite the fact that you are in Huntsville, AL. Crap!
if you have a day off, go to space camp. really.
Girl! I'm writing a note for you right now, to excuse you from further BS and sending you,
"for 5 days and 6 nights to the best B&B in the world - your Very Own Home!" (cue applause)
I know - you're amazed at my super-powers and my secret vocation to be a game show host. I get that all the time.
Hang in there honey - the weekend is on the way, sooner or later!
I spent nearly a month in Huntsville, and my husband lived there for a time before we were married.
But really, having worked as a PR consultant, I can relate to what you're saying.
Enjoy your iPhone, good food, and thank God for iPods!
Hey, I'm just catching up on things - having been out of town - actually very close to you last weekend.
Aquaphor is a staple in our house. I have a Razor, too and have not been impressed...even if it is PINK.
I finally have you on my blogroll. I've been having a lot of problems with my blogger template and not being able to edit!
What a nice mommy you are to take 9Pims iPod nano...otherwise it might get lonely.
Wow, I'm out of it. I don't know what Aquaphor is, and I don't have any of those gadgets you described.
I do have notebooks, though.
Good for you kicking ass
Um...the University President's Office? Scandalous. Really...very scandalous. And AWESOME.
Keep up the good work!
