some notes...
1. the debate was ehhhhhhh. i liked the kerry-esque vagueness with a rove-ian twist that mccain used. it was amusing in a "i can't believe it's not butter" sort of way. in other words--really annoying.
2. i appreciated that obama really went after mccain--and yet, still remained his trademark dignified self.
3. it was annoying to see a debate where one person (obama) actually tried to debate and the other person (mccain) mouthed platitudes and gave speeches to the audience instead.
4. i've had some weird stomach issues for the past week...cramping and irritable bowel movements and i'm not sure why. the margarita last night certainly didn't help matters...
5. more on my added responsibilities: i will be expected to maintain my current responsibilities in long island/new york AND do the same thing in "dirty jersey." the catch (and of course there always has to be one) is that i must do everything in "dirty jersey"--IN ONE WEEK. so--what that means is--
in/with one (1) territory--you have/receive a month to accomplish your goals.
i now have two (2) territories--and i still get just one (month) to accomplish my goals--for both territories. HOWEVER, because long island is still my primary territory--i get three (3) weeks for her--give or take a few days--and one (1) week for "dirty jersey." two (2) territories to cover in one month and god refuses to expand time for me.
that's going to be fun...

on deck...
1. tonight--i am going to be the biggest political whore/geek and go to a debate watching party. and according to the latest reports--mccain has deigned to show up. so yay! i'm rather excited to see this debate. go obama, go!
2. i have gotten the latest update on my new additional responsibilities. i get all of "dirty jersey" excluding the whole foods accounts that exist there *thank god* which amounts to about a week--and i also add the fresh direct account to my current duties...
let's see how it goes...yikes...

"dirty jersey"*
so it looks like i will be taking on the new jersey/staten island territory for an indefinite period of time...i should find out more details later this week or something.
i know i won't actually mind so much once i actually get to doing it? i mean, i'm a prime candidate--single, pet-less, far from home, and highly motivated. but for now--i'm feeling a little mixed about it.
the pros:
--expanded territory=more opportunities to make my goals and to help the company out.
--more free meals.
--hotel stays.
--more opportunities to see the eastern united states.
--more $$$.
--i'm obviously doing well enough that they felt i could take this on.
--i love traveling.
the cons:
--i will be gone for a full week every month living out of hotels.
--living out of a suitcase for a week every month.
--restaurant food for a week every month instead of home cooked meals.
--it's not so much of seeing the eastern u.s. so much as "dirty jersey."*
--more driving in areas i don't know very well.
--it's going to make my current territory responsibilities very hairy.
--less opportunity to maximize my own territory.
i guess when it's all said and done--i love traveling and i'm excited in that respect--i just wish it wasn't "dirty jersey" and was a more exotic locale--europe or an island sounds good! and the biggest part is--living out of a suitcase for a full week each month. that's an annoying prospect.
i think i better go look at a map of "dirty jersey" and see how big it is and if i can get away with checking into 1 hotel instead of different ones for an entire week. that way i'd feel more comfortable.
*"dirty jersey" -- whenever my coworker is going to say the word jersey, she always prefaces it with "dirty." funny enough--she's not the only one. i think it might actually be normal here.
