Corporate Kingdom

Alas..it has been a month since I last wrote...time flies when about 11hrs of your day is taken up in Corporate World....from getting up, to getting ready, to the commute, then putting in your time and driving back home. Makes for some long days....but I am still very grateful to have a job...in this economy, I say a prayer everyday. Does not mean I have stopped dreaming about my RV life to come....it WILL happen one day.
Last week my cube address changed making this world MUCH better for me. I am now on a cul-de-sac!! I am the last cube on the aisle so no more Mr. Conference Call Pro...yahoo!!! It was amazing to me how much better this made me feel at the end of everyday. I have a small amount of privacy which makes a HUGE difference. I said a little prayer for this.....God knew I was going nuts. This has however somehow put out a "welcome" sign for one of my co-workers. Almost every morning, even before my purse is put away and my PC is turned on, he is standing in my little space. He will sometimes be in my cube for an hour.....drives my nuts, but I am the new kid so I say nothing.....but it does make me wonder how he gets his work done. But, that is not my concern...I'm here to do my own thing and move on one day.
There have been many folks to move into this area lately so the boss finally came out with a note that said "no more conf calls on speaker, you must use your headset"....WOOHOO...I almost did a dance.....so alas it has gotten a bit quieter. However the "over the wall" chatter is still alive and well....so I can't say you could here a pin drop..but I'll take the improvement!!
As I mentioned before there are many players in this play and I have identified most of them. The Meeting Maniacs go to, talk about , and literally brag about all the meetings they attend all day.....wow, what a goal in life, I believe these folks are closely related to the Ladder Climbers. These folks still have huge goals for a Corporate Career....God Bless them....there is another world out here, perhaps they will discover it one day before it is too late. Then there is The Suck-Up...no explanation needed here......they are seen with the boss all the time......good luck to them. The Late Worker and The Weekend Warrior are also very close.....they all seem to be using a little different method to impress and move up the Corporate Ladder.....I will certainly NOT be getting in their way. In fact, I was rather happy in my world until someone thought I needed to be on the group distribution list...oh my, the flood gates opened in my inbox. These guys can find more things to email about than one can imagine......it rather amuses me most days. Thank goodness for the handy dandy delete key!!! Oh yes, I look forward to the day that Corporate World is in my rearview mirror.
Tomorrow I will be attending an Ignite meeting to discuss new methods for working your business and about expansion...we will be expanding to 5 new states in the next 18mths...wow, the possibilities. I CAN and WILL make this work....it is a very doable business and can create a nice residual income to sustain my RV life. I stay focused on my 3yr plan......52 is going to be the best birthday EVER!!! Until then, head down and full steam ahead, I have work to do!!! I spoke with a woman just this week that is saving her house from foreclosure by selling cornbread. If she can do that....I can make Ignite work. She was amazing, I had to order some just to help her out, I don't really like cornbread....but that's ok. http://www.cornbreadmillionaire.com/

Sometime in the next 2mths I plan to rent an RV for a long weekend and perhaps go into Tennessee for a few nites....I just need to keep my fingers in my next life so I am clear on where I am headed!! But for today....it is a slow Friday and I will be glad for some rest this weekend as I have had a bit of a cold all week. I hope this is not the beginning of a long winter since I am now exposed to LOTS of stuff....one can only hope I will build up a fast resistance!!
Have a wonderful weekend, I promise to post more often.
