DAY 64: A Quick Work Day

Submitted by Live to Eat or ... on Mon, 07/10/2006 - 11:12pm.

Today blew bye so quick that I barely got to enjoy it.  Everyone has these days, and I know it's everyone’s prayer that these days don’t occur on a day off of work.  My day was definitely on a Monday.  I got to work early and left late, but I barely noticed the time in between.  I will give you a glimpse into a day at work with me.  I thoroughly find my job interesting and challenging.  I usually try to take on as much work as I can to challenge my skills.  I enjoy the deadlines and split decisions that my job entails.  This is not for everyone, but for right now it is for me. 
I am usually ten minutes early each morning, which makes me look responsible.  I usually get a mug of coffee, a mug of water, and breakfast as soon as I get to work.  I eat my breakfast as I check my emails and review the previous day’s work that will affect today.  After that it becomes a blur.  The phone calls begin and the day is off.  I am constantly on the phone negotiating and up selling, which in turn leads to deals which are researched and taken on the computer.  At any given time, I have four separate work screens open, I am checking both of my work emails, managing my new, existing, and old orders, and beginning and finishing conversations.  I am also constantly teaching     and developing new trainees.
Today I got so much accomplished and it was over before I knew it. I felt as if it was only an hour or two since I left my wife and now I was going to be seeing her soon.
What a great day.
