January 24

Day 3 of new job…

Set the alarm for 7:00 a.m. and got up, fed the cats and am now sitting at my desk.  I am ready to start making me facebook and twitter accounts but need to know what email address to use, so am waiting for Eric to wake up.  I already checked in for our flight tomorrow to Tampa.  We are going to see HSN.  After the meeting, I will need to set up all of the drop ship items.

Yesterday, I went to Carson’s and bought a few career pieces with my gift card that the Kolling staff gave me.  I got 2 pair of pants, a sweater jacket, a career jacket, a turtleneck sweater and a pair of shoes for under $100.00.  Turtleneck and shoes go with both pair of pants : )  Still have about $75 on my card so I can get a few more pieces.

Worked on the Overstock account last night from 9:30-10:30.  Great thing about working from home you can work odd hours and get things done.

I got my first real cell phone on Saturday…no more pay as you go with a phone the size of peanut.  I am now the owner of the HTC EVO 4G…of course Eric has to show me all of the bells and whistles because it is all new to me.  I still hate talking on the cell phone so only plan to use it for business…as I should since the company pays the bill : )

With my laptop, cell phone and rolling brief case I feel like a female version of a mini Eric, LOL!

Just remembered I still have to fill out my insurance paper work and my cell phone rebate, so I better get busy!

Happy Monday!

Count down to new life…six days of old job left to complete.

Friday, Eric and I leave for Utah. Flying in to Salt Lake City and then off to Park City. Staying at The Waldorf in Park City…skiing at Deer Valley. Monday first business meeting for new job even though I am not officially starting until January 20. Meeting with Overstocked.com. Packing tomorrow as ski clothes are always a pain to get together.

Bought new carry on and a wheeled brief case today. Should be getting my new laptop and phone soon. Will need them for second business meeting in NYC with The New York Times.com on January 20.

I will miss all of my Kolling friends, hopefully we will stay in touch. Only three days left at Kolling…wish I could have spent the last six there.

Gator b-ball tonight. Not on tv : (. Let’s Go Gators!

Happy New Year!

So I will begin the 2011 year with exciting changes in my life…

I resigned from the Lake Central School District.  My last day is January 19, 2011.  On January 20, I will begin a new career as Internet Marketing Sales Director for UPM Global.  I will be in charge of dot.com business and social media.  So be on the lookout for a new blog, facebook and twitter page soon.  I will be able to work out of the house, yeah no more 5:30 a.m. alarms for me!  I will also be traveling to see accounts.  My first travel date is January 14 to see Overstock.com. 

I am very excited about going back to work in the dot.com world.  I really enjoyed my time at Value America and hope I will be able to make my presence at UPM as successful.

Winter break has been great so far…ended 2010 with a trip to Charlottesville and NYC.  Got to see wonderful friends and family, eat at gourmet restaurants and stay at the Waldorf Astoria.  The second week of break was celebrating with family and relaxing at home.  I got great Christmas presents…clothes, boots, pjs, a new sling box, and gift certificates to Olive Garden and Outback, yum!

So the Gator coaching staff seems to be shaping up, rumors have been running wild.  I think the official announcements will come on Sunday or Monday.  Let’s Go Gators send Coach Meyer out with a win, beat Penn State!
