my sebbatical

well, crazy though it sounds, i have been absent from the blogging world for good reason (actually 2 good ones): a new job and a new man. i had a friend yell at me over email the other day that i hadn't written anything, and i needed to get to it, so i figured i should at least try to sit down at the computer for a little while tonight.

the job: i still love it. there is so much freedom in sales, and no day is ever the same as the one before. i'm just now starting to get the hang of it. i definitely have my favorite accounts (i won't say which ones), but i'm sure as i'm such an amazing sales rep, they all feel like they're my favorite (riiiiiiiiiiiiight).

the worst part of the job: being in the car all day. i hated houston drivers before this job; now i am just afraid for my life on most days. take just now for example. i was on my way home, and i changed lanes so i could exit tc jester, and the guy in front of me (in a 20 yr-old mazda rx-7 or something) SLAMMED on his breaks. why?

1. perhaps he felt that the 60 miles an hour that i was driving (it's still raining here,or you know i would've been going faster) was just too fast.
2. perhaps he thought he'd do me a favor and slow me down so i wouldn't hurt myself or others.
3. or perhaps he's just a JERK (of course i'm thinking of another work) who has power issues.

well, as he had slowed down to a crawl of 40mph, i passed him and proceeded to exit...so did he. he pulled up next to me at the light and proceeded to mouth some very nasty 4-letter words at me and flip me off. i just smiled my biggest smile and waved at him...and he continued to show me his ugly little left middle finger. there was actually a moment when i thought he might follow me home, but he didn't (which was so good, because with the week i've had, i might have gone postal on him). anyway, that's just one thing today; there are several other fun driving stories i could tell just from today, but i won't. i know everyone has been there and understands.

i'll try to be better about posting in the future because, God knows, i certainly don't suffer from a lack of thoughts and opinions that i want to share with others.
