i'll be back

cause while i was in jersey/philly for one night--newb came up to my hotel room after we had pho for dinner and watched some movies/shows. we stayed in downtown philly like--a block from chinatown at the hilton there. and that was very cool. we started with charlie brown--which i LOVE. then we did "i am legend" which should have been better--and ended with terminator 2--which I LOVE. first time seeing that one--and it definitely was worth it. i must say. loved it. great movie. i'd watch it again. even if there are loose ends all over the place!

so i told newb at dinner that i was confident he could handle the account himself but that i'd leave it up to him what he wanted and he replied with "if it isn't a burden i'd just as soon keep having you come."

which is fine. it isn't a burden or anything. and 2 hours out of my month doesn't hurt me in any way to be honest. and it's nice to feel like i actually have COWORKERS. which is probably why he prefers i keep going with him. gives us an excuse to do movie night and dinner and have someone to vent and talk about work to. you know. normal office politics that we otherwise would just conduct on the phone--but because our territories work out so nicely--we can actually get together at least once a month to do face to face. and that's nice. most of the other reps don't have that luxury i don't think.

i know a few of the other reps do that as well though. so i don't feel like we're doing anything strange. perfectly acceptable. and it's not like i'm hiding it from anyone. i've told our team leader we've done it and it didn't seem like it was a biggie.

on a nice note. after i got home today--i did a few things--and then...what did i do? met up with my partner in crime for some...SHABU. yes. again. always. again. we also went to the macy's on 34th for some shopping--of which i didn't get anything. i'm too indecisive to purchase right away.

but i DID get the earth boots i ordered online on saturday today. i got home--and there they were--waiting right outside my front door. and they are SUPER CUTE. they have a negative heel--so you are supposed to be able to burn more calories with every step. and to be perfectly objectively honest--i've never huffed going up my 3 flights of stairs--i did today. i think they work. i can feel the difference in how hard steps seem to be after awhile.


on another note--i am officially on vacation until the 5th of january. that's a LONG time. and i have no set plans--i will work 2 days of it to visit my largest account--and to go to the hamptons for one of the days. but that'll be fine. i'm not as annoyed as i was. as working things go--it's not so bad to go on vacation and have to work a couple of days of it.
