How has my week been???

Well, now I can at least talk about my week.  I know that I alluded to some stuff earlier in the week, but here is the truth.  My boss and Wrigley parted ways at 8am Tuesday morning.  Of course that was 8 hours into my working relationship with Wrigley.  While a complete shock to me, I was already at Wrigley so I didn't have a lot of choice.  I love everyone's comments, "it never happens like that here".  Really, because as far as I know, it happens ever couple of days or so.  In fact, at that point, I hadn't gone more than 8 hours without seeing someone let go.  At that rate, i was worried because it would take roughly 9 days before my number would be up at that rate.  Well, I am 5 days in and I am thinking I am somewhat safe, at least for the meantime.  Everyone seems to like me, no really, they do like me.  I get along with everyone and I think it is going to be a good move.  I really needed this change of scenery.  I really liked working at Alberto, people could not have been better to me while I worked there, and I left there with some of the greatest friends that I will continue to keep in touch with.  However, it was time for me to go screw up someone else's digital marketing.  I wanted to bang my head on a different wall and talk to that wall to try to convince them to spend more money in digital.  I knew that going to Wrigley would not be so much better, but at least the walls would be different colors, no offense Glen.  But those walls at Alberto were really bad!

Anyway, tonight I have sad news instead of my usual banter complaining about something about my day.  We said goodbye to 2 of our closest friends in the world.  Paola and Aldo are leaving us tomorrow morning to return to Italy.  We will miss them tremendously.  Funny thing we found out tonight that we were married on the same date and same year.  They are great people who will come back to visit this fall and we are making a pilgrimage to Italy next fall to visit them.  Good luck and I know I wouldn't want to be the passenger in the seat in front of you two with your kids awake the whole flight!!!  I hope they sleep!  

It has been an interesting week.  I took a new job.  I lost my boss.  I knew no one at the company.  I lost 2 of my closest friends.  I am tired.  I miss Florida.  It seems as though that distant memory is so far from my life right now that I can't remember it clearly.  I need another vacation!  Then I think back, I could be working at Alberto still without my vacation and I think I am doing okay.  Well, I am going to bed for the first time in a week without an alarm set.  I hope Maddie sleeps until 2pm and I can sleep in with her.  Something tells me that my little ball of boundless energy is going to want to get up early and happily spend the morning hours with her dad.  Though, I think I am okay with that also...

Until Tomorrow...
