Pressing On: Vacation is Over...

Today at work, like my other days thus far, was for the most part, quiet. No complaints from me though. But...these days of quiet acclimation are coming to an end. Well, the end of not having a boss right in the next office and actually being at someone's beck and call. My boss has cut her vacation short because she "is going crazy not being in the office and working...[she] just can't take it." So, she is flying back tomorrow and planning to be in the office on Thursday. Wow.

I guess I can understand...she has several projects she's trying to sell for this upcoming season, and things aren't going as quickly as she'd like. I supposed she feels being here (instead of spending time with her husband, children and family) is more beneficial. Who am I to judge? I'm not in her position.

I will say that anytime I've been on vacation, I was not in a hurry to get back to real life...but then again, I've never been the President of Development at a production company on a major TV studio lot, in partnership with a husband/wife team that have a hit TV show, some Emmys, a million other projects, and are known as those 'who can do no wrong.' When I look at it that way, I guess she is under some pressure to perform...and being away from the action, probably doesn't help matters.

So, when she returns on Thursday, I'll be ready to help her in any way I can.

I did make a mistake today...or rather I thought I did. See, a big pitch for my Boss was moved from yesterday to next week, except she thought it was still tomorrow. I apologized for the oversight in not telling her...until I realized that I had put it on her calendar, and had emailed her specifically about the change on Friday...but not until after I had emailed her and acknowledged my oversight. She didn't make a big deal about it...probably because too realized that I did inform her of the change and she was the one who forgot about it. I will definitely try to continue to be one step ahead of her, and on top of anything I can...with God's help of course.

One point of exclusion for me in the office is the fact that everyone is a part of a Fantasy Football League...and I am not. So they all talk about their teams a lot, leaving me left out. There was a an opening on their league on Friday and Delaware quickly named someone outside the office that would be good to join...then later, when I asked what it included, she was like..."Oh, I'm am such a ****. I didn't even ask you...I just figured you wouldn't want to do something like this...I'm so sorry. I'm such a ****." It's all good...but it is justification about my thoughts that some people in general are oblivious to lots of things. That's all I have to say about that.

On a different note, I got the giggles towards the end of the day today while IMing with Delaware. I thought of something Erika and I used to say and make fun of, and couldn't stop laughing about it. Delaware wanted in on what was so funny, and I tried to explain it to her...but it was just our thing...not so funny when you have to break it down and explain it.

I guess that's all for today...for a relatively quiet day, this is a long post. I'm going to try and start posting what I call FFoD...Famous Faces of the Day, where I will tell of the famous folks I saw in the office...so...I press on...and todays FFoDs are:
