You don't know how bad I needed last night. I let loose and it was enjoyable as hell. I really needed a night of letting loose and it did not disappoint. I am paying for it a little right now, but man so wroth it.
I woke up early because I was supposed to meet a coworker at our office to pick up some stuff for next week. She had explicitly told me she needed to be out by a certain time and I was trying to accommodate her schedule by being ready as early as possible. At 6:30 she sends an email that plans have changed. Motherfucker. Seriously? On top of that I had 8 emails from our damn sales guy to go through almost all of which didn't impact me. But I still had to go through them all. From there I sat and waited until some other things got confirmed. I gave up around 9 and decided to go to Target to take care of some stuff. I needed a few things for my trip next week. I was back home by 11. B had the day off yesterday and was able to come with me. Saved me from having to go out today which is nice. I still have a few things to do today but not so much that I feel rushed or overwhelmed.
Got back and from 11:45 until 1, did a webinar for our internal folks. We do these lunch and learn sessions once a month where we teach the consultants some best practices and tricks from the field. They are our way of beta testing the presentations before offering them to the general public as one of our free webinars. It's a great way to gauge reaction and see how they will go over with normal folks. The webinar went well and we were all happy at the response. This will definitely be one we offer in the future. After that I had a conference call with the sales VP and one of our other folks. THAT was a pain in the ass. They wanted follow up from my trip to Tulsa last week and they were pissed off when I told them sorry, there's nothing you can sell them today. I positioned us for long term partnership not immediate money in hand. Got off the phone around 2 and took a nap. Just a little one because the plans were for friends to come over and go out.
Everybody got to the house by 6:30 and we went out for sushi. It was a great time. Beers, sake, and plates of fish were had all around. It was me, B, one other couple, and our friend whose girlfriend is currently in Mexico on a ladies trip. So yes, we were babysitting a little and supposed to make sure he stayed out of trouble. Boy did that go south quickly. After dinner we went to my friend's Hawaiian bar where we sucked down two of their signature 'Fishbowl'. Essentially it's an entire bottle of booze mixed with fruit juices, jellybeans, and swedish fish. It was insane. B drove home after that. We got back to the house around 9:30 and some other friends came over. We played games, drank 4Loko and vodka, laughed, and just had a great time. B went to bed around 11:30 since she had to get up this morning. I gave up around 12:30 and joined her. When I woke up at 6 there were people on the couch, the floor, and the spare bedroom. Nice. I always feel like a good host when that happens.
But now it's 9:30 and everyone is gone, the house is clean, and it's time for me to do errands and pack.
Man I needed last night though. I feel so much more refreshed and ready to deal with next week.
