5x5

With all this good eating - filet mignon, crab cakes, wild mushroom ravioli, peanut butter pie, lots of wine - I'm going to be a 5x5 by the time I get back home!! Hee hee.

The nine of us came from different "clicks" from our regional group, from CT, NY, PA, NC, SC, FL, GA, CO and CA, varying experience and ages - I think they think I'm just a kid, they thought I watch "OC" (ha!) - but we're all coming together through this common experience of leaving our familiar ground to a company who took us over, leaving our familiar procedures and technology behind for a more organized, set, disciplined way of work as opposed to our hodge-podge, figure-things-out-as-you-go, uncertain-of-what's-next style.

I think they'll have a time discliplining us to fit into their system because we're kind of like that spoiled child who always got her way and never looked back. But we'll come around eventually, we'll scream and stamp our feet in the beginning playfully, a bit rebelliously yet well-meaning, but in the end, I think we'll really appreciate the systems they already have in line, and the support already felt from the people in-house we've met so far. The next wave of us are coming in a couple weeks, but we broke through the gates as the first group to come over to the other side.

And no I haven't called blue-eyes yet, but I'll be back 3 times next month...! Hee hee.
