mixed nuts

Had an early meeting at work today. Something about the employee survey they had the 1st quarter of this year. They discussed a few key points such as job satisfaction, employee engagement, empowerment, etc. I didn't have a lot to say, as I wasn't employed with them at that time and I really don't have an opinion (as of yet) because I feel it's too early to have one. I need to get to know them first, erase all the hang-ups about the pay cut and start on a clean slate. It's only fair.

One thing I've noticed is that they all seem to truly believe the company's mission statement. They all seemed happy, and content, and proud of what they're doing. Maybe if I give it a chance, I'd be happy too.....and content.....and proud......

Mamita informed me that she already booked the flight for her April-May vacation just in time for the kids' birthdays. She was here the whole month of September (oh what bliss!), and the first thing she did upon her return to Germany was book her next trip back to the US of A. My bro and his family are also planning to visit us in April. It'll be fun! I'm excited!!!

It's officially "fall" now on this side of the earth. We've been blessed with summer like weather up until Tuesday. From temps in the 90s, we are now down to 50's. The weather is C-R-A-Z-Y. But I shouldn't complain. We had a good summer after all.
