Change

Change is hard.

Change is scary.

Change is inevitable.

Change is risky.

It seems that's been my life for the last few years...a constant change.

Here we go...once again.

Last week I resigned from my fabric sales rep job. There were many factors but let's just leave it at I believe I'm supposed to be doing something else.

I'm working on defining what that something else is so stay tuned.

Yep, it's going to be hard.
Yep, I'm scared.
Yep, it's going to happen whether I want it or not so might as well put a rudder in the water and guide my own boat.
Yep, I know I could fail...
              ... but I could NOT fail also and wouldn't THAT be a hoot.


Change is worth it?

               Almost always.

I'm a Busy Little Bee

Do you ever get the feeling you're going to meet yourself coming down the hall one day?

That's me this week.

I'm not complaining. It's actually a lot of fun...but yikes.

Here's what I've got this week:

1. Write and submit bid packages for 10 federally funded projects – half way there, can I do 5 more in a half day tomorrow...uhhh

2. Hold a pre-bid meeting for one federally funded project – done – one guy showed up from Georgia, we had a nice visit.

3. Bully 15 engineers from around the state to submit their white papers to me for the American Water Works Association annual conference or else I’ll knock them off the agenda (which means I’d have to find more engineers to write papers) – so far I have one paper...I'm hoping they'll all come screeching on the deadline...that's what's I'd do if I had to write a paper right now.

4. Go to Newland, NC with Laura and judge the Avery County Fair quilts – done, judged the quilts, needlework and a few other things. Met some wonderful people, overate at the Dan'l Boone Inn in Boone (of course) and spent a lovely evening at the Holiday Inn Express.

5. Go to Concord with Laura and judge the Cabarrus County Fair quilts – did that this morning and had a blast – met more wonderful people including some very well organized fair volunteers, had fantastic BBQ for lunch and we got paid – SWEET!

6. Find out if the Guilford County Fire Marshall likes my fire protection plan for the CHB campus – we’ve played phone tag all week, right now, I’m it.

7. Go to Greensboro with Laura and judge the Central Carolina Fair quilts – tomorrow morning and if the last two fairs are any indication, we’ll have a blast and meet wonderful people.

Whew!

Are you tired? I am. I must be. I just discovered that when I sealed the last four bid packages, I dated them 9/3/05.

2005?

Well, at least I spelled my name right.

I think.

Better go check.

Yikes.
