Yeah, life is just that good to think I even remotely look like those celebraties...

So many changes in such a short time and so many exciting happenings.

With lots of good news came some bad news - one of my closest friends and most respected colleagues resigned last night. It was surprising and sad but very understandable. Our job has many challenges that extend past the day to day duties. We travel 100% of the time and eventually it takes a toll on everyone else in our lives. Our friends and family pick up where we leave off while we are on the road. I wish my friend well and know that we will be friends in life. He has chosen to take the rest of the year off and spend time with his young children and wife - a very respectable decision.

As I start to solidify my future plans, I too am prioritizing. I know what is important to me and what I'm willing to sacrifice and what I'm not willing to sacrifice.

I have discovered in not such a good way that not all people have my strong morals and ethical beliefs. Maybe I'm naive, maybe I'm good natured and maybe I'm just inexperienced with the realities of life.

OR

Some people are unethical, illogical and just downright awful individuals who stop at nothing to ruin innocent, hard working, ethical people's careers.

Enough about headaches and distractions. The karma gods will strike and make right what I have been wronged. Either that or I will get over it.

You Are 92% Intuitive

Your intuition is so spot on it's scary!
You can learn a lot about people and situations, simply by listening to your gut.
And you've even wondered if you can predict the future at times.
Just be sure not to always listen to your intuition... someday it could be wrong!

Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things.
Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments.
You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it.
You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle.

You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician.


Shocking results - my career is a combination of all of the above and I have degrees in Biology and Chemistry...

Short and sweet post

I'm back at work after a nice vacation to the Bahamas - I'm not as pastey white nor as stressed out as I was a week ago.

My promotion was announced yesterday (although some people heard about it while in the Bahamas last week). It's an exciting and busy time.

Life seems much better - or maybe it's I'm just really relaxed after 5 days in paradise. There's something to be said for running away to a location that has no cell phone or internet access.

Do bad things come in 3's, 4's or 5's??????

To the Karma G-ds - send some good karma my way - I'm past due. I'm ready to make some lemonade out of many lemons thrown at me lately.

To name just a few of the wonderful highlights from my cursed weekend (it was cursed, I was cursing, etc): I spent hours at Verizon this weekend and am currently carrying my third Treo (cool cell phone/pda/leash), my first of ten flights this week was delayed today causing me to miss my second of ten flights this week and I received really scary and bad news from not one, not two, but three people this weekend.

One more really crappy item which shall not be named is laying heavily on my thoughts.

Three days until the Bahamas and the trip can't come soon enough.

My silver lining to the weekend is this evening - I'm going out with Elvis. We were both to arrive around 3PM today and spend a fun filled afternoon together. Due to delayed flights and unchangeable tickets - it just didn't happen. Hopefully tonight we can catch a movie or go out for some dinner.

Another huge highlight of the weekend - I walked into a spotless, beautiful house. My friends Kim and Audrey are my house saviors. It's not that I'm a huge slob (but I am a slob), I just don't have the time or energy at the moment to deal with the mess I call my house. I owe them huge and am in their gratitude for their help. My kitties are getting more love and attention then they are accustomed to and my house is just beautiful.
