Hey friends. CTI has been over for two weeks now and things are quiet for me here in Sacramento. Very quiet. Too quiet. Many of the teams are off on their projects across the western states and in the gulf. I go into my office every day at 8 a.m. and I leave at 5 p.m. I am a full-blown grownup! I get calls from the team leaders in my unit, send them stuff through Fed Ex, go to meetings, enter data into computers, etc. The field team leaders with teams out on projects are all busy and stressed and I feel guilty because I am not stressed. I panic sometimes in the afternoon, and even the late mornings when I don't have anything to do because I think I should be doing something more for my job and to help the teams in the field. But then I talked to Nikkole, the Green Unit STL and she continuously assures me that I am doing great because I don't procrastinate and I get all my stuff done as soon as I can. She also tells me that the periods of nothing and the periods of crazy, hectic work will fluctuate. I just don't want people to look at me as think that all I do is wander up and down the halls visiting people and make friendship bracelets. If I have work to do, I do it, I swear!
Anyway, life is good. Aside from missing all of my team leader friends and having periods of boredom at work, I can't complain. Next Thursday I actually get to visit a project site and the team of a good friend of mine in Alpaugh, CA. This is a tiny, dinky town that features one stop sign. Not even a traffic light, but a stop sign. It will be great to get out of the office and to see Kathryn, the team leader.
Two weeks until I come home for Christmas! I can hardly wait to see everyone back home. I'll be home for 10 days, the longest I've been home all year. Maybe I'll have more to talk about on this blog after I go home. For now, though, I'll say goodbye and I'll talk to you all later.
