My first high level meeting finished out and I couldn't be happier. Some minor bumps... but I think I impressed people all around. Heck.. I even impressed myself. I can handle much more than I think I am capable of. I got a little lost during the thrombosis events and Guillian-Barre Syndrome cases... but.. it's okay.. I am learning.. and that's all that matters. Anyway, I am off for the weekend. It has been a long week. I am floating again though...
*brushes off shoulder*
Among other things...
Yeah... that's right... Some nice comfy jammies. Okay and maybe someone to share the night with... Hey... I still have a heart... But in all honesty... I have never had a good Valentine's Day. Meh. <3
Anyway, enough of what I don't understand. Today is steadily busy. I keep zoning in and out though.. I think that has to do with my inconsistent sleep. I *MUST* get sleep tonight though.. I have a very big meeting tomorrow... kind of scared. Very high level meeting with a bunch of terminology I won't know... nor will I understand it. But it's okay. Tomorrow is Friday. That should make it better.
Yes, it has just started.. but still... it's cloudy, cold and hopefully going to rain soon. How much better can it get??? Sometime this weekend I will be going out to Gladstone's for my friend Kelly's birthday. I am crossing my fingers hoping it will rain. Other than that... not much news to report. I have to study for my exam coming up next week. I think I am sort of ready... well I should be ready after this weekend. Anyway... here is a little music to soothe your ears...
Michael Nyman is one of my favorite classical composers.

Dude... I don't care what people say... that's commitment right there... She's crazy for sure... but damn...
I am currently in my new position. I had a one on one meeting with my new boss. It really couldn't have gone better... he is completely down to earth and someone I am sure I will come to love working for. He was just plain and simple.. do whatever you like.. just keep me in the loop. So far so good. I can't believe my luck as of late. I was walking into work and I just couldn't believe I was going up to the 4th floor of the main building at Amgen. The CEO of the company is on 5th floor.
I just can't express enough how great this company is. Forbes Magazine named Amgen it's Company of the Year for 2004 and labeled them a Biotech Behemoth. Their mission is to serve patients... but they treat their employees so well. Most here are not stuck up on themselves... like my new boss is wearing jeans and has one of the most important meetings of his entire job today. Anyway, enough gushing about Amgen. I am getting settled in and savoring the few days of quiet until I start taking on more.
I listened to this song on and off most of the night. For some reason, I never realized how powerfully emotional this song is. I almost became obsessive about it... hitting replay. It hurts... but yet I keep touching it. I imagined my life the past few years like I am on one of those airport moving walkways... images flashing before me of the events but all I see is the light reflected on my face. Good and bad, refreshing and humiliating. I don't feel like crying. I don't feel like smiling. I think far too much. My chest feels like it's about to explode or collapse. There is beauty in the breakdown.
Today is my last day in my current job. Yesterday I said goodbye to my boss, Geoff because he wouldn't be in the office. He made tears come to my eyes and I couldn't even say anything back like Thank you, or I will miss working for you. I might just write him an email later. This weekend is going to be pretty quiet as I must study. After my emotional post last night... I think I am going to keep today light.
Some people might find this annoying... but since I can relate to the whole uncontrollable, feet kicking, and tummy aching giggles... I think it is cute.
I love Linken Park... something about guys in t-shirts and jeans that is so simple yet so hot. Throw in a hoodie and I'm good to go. Oh yeah, the song is good too.
I realize most will hate this song. BUT... it's Friday, it's payday, and I'll probably dance around the house to this as I am cleaning tonight. (Exciting I know.. but if I get it done tonight... I can play the rest of the weekend.)
"Even the distance feels so near."
Have a great weekend... I probably won't post on Monday because it's my orientation day for my new job... so I'll eventually be back.
One last comment...
GO BEARS! <3
Just please dear god beat Pretty Boy Manning!
All last night and this morning I have had this song stuck in my head. It's not the best song... I am doing really good for myself... Anyway, I didn't get much sleep again.. but it's okay. I still feel good.. I can sleep on the weekend (yeah right!)... I just realized that today is my last day with my boss, Geoff. He has been one of the best I have had and I will miss him terribly but on to new things!
