Update

Well my work here is done - this week - and tomorrow morning I will hit the road for the drive back home. Hopefully, I will get back in time to pick up my babies from the kennel. I am supposed to be off Thursday but think I'm going to go into the office and take Friday off instead since I need to turn around and drive right back here again on Sunday.

I spent the past two days with a very nice group of nurses in our newest call center. They had already spent the prior 4 weeks in training and they 'went live' on Monday morning. I was there to provide reassurance. They will all be out of the office working from home by the end of the week.

My trip was supposed to be focused on training the new supervisor to these nurses but her husband underwent pre-op testing for some minor surgical procedure last week and he ended up having emergency bypass surgery. So the supervisor is out of the office. In addition, the presentation that I was to give for some potential new clients was postponed. So, essentially, I wasn't needed here at all. Glad I don't bear the burden of the cost of this trip - close to $1000 for 4 days not to mention my salary - where I have been paid for doing NOTHING!

I've been in this room for the past couple of days coming to the realization that there is no reason in the world that I should not be able to live in a space this small. I don't need all the 'stuff' I accumulate. I like a lot of the stuff I accumulate but truth is I don't need it to be happy. I do enjoy having a yard to putter around in and grow things in and I enjoy my pets but - I really don't need the house and all the stuff in it that I enjoy. I believe I could live simply and happily in a space as small as what I am residing in here. Has given me something to think about.

I have put some stuff out there to auto post tomorrow - don't know if I will post when I get home tomorrow as I am going to try to get my 'kids' and get rested to go to the office on Thursday - so, until then - carry on!
