Gotta love it when the "very important potential clients" show up; I've never really cared for the whole "cleaning up to make the office look neat and efficient" song and dance. I know that it's good business, but I know how cluttered my area is as are the areas of my co-workers. If I were a client, I'd accept the fact that we human beings are not necessarily the neatest nor the most efficient. The clients are smart enough to know this or I don't think we'd be working w/them. Still, this is a business, so you MUST put your best foot forward @ all times. I know that this is important to the company and I'm a team player. My area has been cleaned from top to bottom; can't help but feel a tad deceitful, it's never this clean, my greetings are never this friendly and I'm never dressed to the nines. It's a living.
The last eight days have truly been the stuff of legends! First, the snow on Friday! As many of you know, I was born and raised in Alexandria, VA. Aside from the four years that I served in the Army, I've spent roughly 32 years of my life in the familiar surroundings of traffic, traffic and more traffic. That being said, I have NEVER EVER seen anything like this. One could make the argument that there was the blizzard of '96...but I was still in Georgia at the time so technically, this is a first for me. I gotta say, I love snow. Not the shoveling, but the sound of snow falling; so quiet, so serene. Truly a thing a beauty...and the fact that I missed several days of work because of it doesn't hurt. I also didn't miss the fact that we lost approximately 20 hours of power in the first 48 hours of said snow storm. Honestly, I didn't mind it so much. We lost power at 10PM which conveniently became bed time! You'd be amazed at how tired you suddenly feel
