Toys R Us Is Supposed to be Fun, Right?

I know it's taboo to talk about work on a blog, but since I blurted this at work to one of the "big dogs" I felt like I could share it here. One of the big accounts I work on is the Toys R Us account and most everything with that account seems to a pain in my booty. The account could be really fun (and it does have it's fun moments) because we get to be creative with it, but mainly I associate the account with stress. One of the "big dogs" walked by a couple weeks ago and said, "How's it going Cassandra?" I replied, "Well, I'm working on Toys R Us and for a place that's supposed to be associated with fun, I'm definitely not in my happy place!" Then someone in the "peanut gallery" (the large work-room that I'm in) said something like, "But Geoffrey loves you!" and I replied, "If Geoffrey were here right now I'd drop-kick him!" We all laughed and "the big dog" continued on to his office. Geoffrey reared his ugly head again today so I was not in my happy place today. Geoffrey better stay clear of me for the next few days!

Graduation Day is Approaching!

Aaron will be graduating with his undergrad degree this Sunday! I'm excited for this graduation, but I'm even more excited for what this graduation stands for...yet another stepping stone to ACTUALLY being done with school. :) Only 3 more years and counting...




Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Lunch Time Retreat

I've been going to my cousin Angela's house to veg a few times a week during my lunch hour and let me tell you, it's WONDERFUL!!! She has a deep freeze in her garage so I just fill it up with frozen dinners and pop one in the microwave while watching "What Not to Wear." I'm delighted by my new lunchtime routine. I realized today though that I cry every day on my lunch hour. For some reason "the big reveal" at the end of "What Not to Wear" always gets me. Today's episode was one that I had already seen, but it was just such an amazing transformation that I cried again (possibly even harder than my first viewing of it.)
