HELP....I'm back in CUBE WORLD!!!!

So sorry it's been a while since I've written....has taken much out of me adjusting to Corporate America again. It's been about 14yrs since I've gone into an office everyday. I've had to tweek my time management skills....didn't realize how spoiled I was to working from home. Delta does not believe much in working from home....so my new address is 2nd floor Admin Bldg, Delta HDQ, Cube 2CW080....just in case you want to come visit. I have cheerios and crackers in a drawer so I can serve snacks!!
I'm all settled in now and have my 3yr plan in front of me. You see....3yrs from this October I shall turn the magic 52 and can start my pensions....not that I can live solely off of them, but they will help. I hope to hang in this Corp Cube World until then and I've challenged myself to have Ignite rolling by then. So...as long as I stay focused I think I'm up to the challenge. As if to keep me reminded....just as I was pulling out of the gates at Delta HDQ one day last week....a gorgeous Class A RV pulling a jeep cruised past me.....YEP, there went my dream, I'll get there one day. My exercising is suffering, I used to do this during lunch time at home, but not anymore. I didn't have to worry about taking a shower before returning to my desk....however, now I think that would be a must for the sake of those around me and there is not time or a facility...so, I still need to work that back into the evening schedule. Before work is not an option for me....up at 620a is early enough. And, as you can see from my lack of communication here, some things have gone undone. Yes...this will be a challenge for lots of reasons, but I stay focused on the future and keep going. You see, as with most things, attitude is key...so I check mine daily.

Corporate America is not as interesting as all the new friends I met everyday as I peddled pictures, or my college roommates, but if you look hard you can find some entertainment. Unlike other times that I've been in corporate world, I am here to make money NOT a career. So...I can look at things differently. It's fun to watch others try to climb the "corporate ladder".....only ladder I wish to climb these days is the one on the back of my RV that I will have one day!!! I think of this as a play and my part is very small. I have named the other parts that my cast members have:

1. The Meeting Maniac

2. The Conference Call Pro

3. The Late worker

4. The Suck Up

5. Weekend Warrior

6. Money Makers (that's me)

7. Ladder Climbers

That about sums it up, they can all fit into one of these parts. I will give you futher explanation on these at another time....I think it's time for me to go earn my keep.
Have a great weekend.....I have grown to love Fridays again....so TGIF!!!
