The October 24th Update

Well, well, well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted … how bad of me!

In all honesty, not much has been going on that I thought needed retelling.

Since starting at Cushman & Wakefield LePage it’s been pretty much work all week and play all weekend.

September was the learning curve month. And it was a sink or swim type deal. And I swam baby I SWAM! And now I’m well into my second month at the job and yes, I am an assistant goddess! I got a fab email sent to me and the Director of Operations (the BIG boss) from one of my brokers a week or so ago telling me what a ROCK STAR I am and I can’t lie – it was a great way to start off what was a rather blah Monday. All my co-workers are great people (well, most of them lol!) and the Brokers are all good guys (sadly, we only have one woman broker in the office – What gives there I ask?!)

They closed the office early on the Friday of the long Turley Weekend (which Phil and I spent both in Whistler **FAB** and with Stacey & Steve, biking, eating and laughing) and that was a super pleasant surprise and made me think … hmmmmmm **taps finger to chin**… this place is a good place to be… they treat their staff well, give them time off and offer early-leave days when they don’t have to and feed us during meetings – Yes! They feed us during mandatory lunch and breakfast meetings – What a concept!! Makes getting up early each Friday for my Research Meeting well worth it when I know I’m getting fresh Tim’s in the boardroom – lol.

And get this – I’ve been here just over two month’s ... that’s what I said above right? …and I already have been given 4 vacation days for this year! Insanity, but I am not complaining. I am using up two to come home in November and the other two are being tacked onto my 15 days next year so I can get to Britain and France in August. WoooHooo – 17 days off next year for which I will be PAID! I love it!

And really, that its folks – Nothing overly exciting to report …

Can’t wait to get home next month and see my family and friends! Man I miss you guys!!!

Love and Kisses
