i want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life - february 2010

2.28.10:  Better flight times - I changed my flights to India. For just $50 more, I have much better times.  I leave 4 hours later from CVG, and I come home 6 hours earlier.  Love it.
2.27.10:  Standing up for what I believe in - I've gotten past the point of being too afraid of not pleasing everyone.  Anything I say to someone, I'd stand behind in any situation.
2.26.10:  The Oakley Post Office - I'm always running late, but somehow they always let me mail that day.
2.25.10:  HR Block - They actually fixed the system based on my feedback!  Good customer service.
2.24.10:  Business Review - It's done, and surprisingly it's incredibly useful as we plan for 10/11 and 11/12.
2.23.10:  Canceled dinner tomorrow - I would have felt bad canceling, but thankfully I was canceled on instead!
2.22.10:  My work plan - I think I have the best work plan of any junior ABM.  I love leading eCommerce and all the other things as well.
2.21.10:  Vacations - I am so lucky I can afford to travel the way I do.
2.20.10:  Being able to survive on little sleep - I know it's not good for me, and I was doing really good in the beginning of the year, but I'm glad that I can get by if I need to on only a few hours of sleep.  It'll get back to normal once I make it to March 5th.
2.19.10:  Making progress - Finally it's coming together and it feels good.
2.18.10:  Brase - I really don't like the idea of scheduled lunches with Brase, but once we got past the normal "how's everything going?" and "what can I do to help you?" and started talking about acting like kids, it was actually a fun conversation.  I like that he's down to earth and his family is so important to him.
2.17.10:  Finishing my midterm in time - Thankfully I know a little bit about pricing from what I do on a normal basis.
2.16.10:  Global calls - Although I hate waking up for 7 am calls, I love learning from around the world.
2.15.10:  Wendy - She helped me clean off my car from the 6 inches of snow even though she could have just left me!
2.14.10:  Alexa - I think I've written her name down a lot in these, but I am so thankful everyday that I have her as my best friend.
2.13.10:  Mike - Letting me shower and hang out before the game.
2.12.10:  Luck - I'm so glad I looked at my syllabus tonight one last time.  Otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have submitted our assignment for tomorrow.
2.11.10:  Mister Griffith - For keeping things fun and hanging in there.
2.10.10:  Kreena - Thankfully we're using her project idea.  She saved us.
2.9.10:  Making it up Center Hill - I made it up, slowly but surely, whereas some cars definitely couldn't.
2.8.10:  Buffer zone in my fuel tank gage - I was definitely driving on 0 gallons for at least 30 minutes today.  I'm so happy I found a station with diesel before my car died. 
2.7.10:  10% off my new iPod - For recycling your old iPod, you automatically get 10% off a new one!
2.6.10:  Surviving the drive safely - Every year there is one day of terrible snow to Chicago.  It took us 7 hours to get to school, which really wasn't so bad considering the first 100 miles our we were on top of an inch of packed down snow, and the flurries were so bad you could barely see 10 feet in front of you.  Thankfully, we all made it home safely.  Last year they had a bad accident where a truck spun across the median and split the van down the middle.
2.5.10:  Eating lunch out - We eat at our desks way too often, and I'm so glad Brad asked me to get out and eat at Motel Mexican.
2.4.10:  Kirsten - Our project NPV is paying out!
2.3.10:  Christine - My saving grace throughout the day is Christine.  I think I've also been pretty moody and not fun lately, so I'm thankful she puts up with me.
2.2.10:  My new office - So until the 22nd, I'll be huddle hiding in my sunshine room to maximize my productiveness.
2.1.10:  Matt's message introducing Grace Olivia - I am so incredibly happy that both Laura and Grace are healthy.  I didn't stop worrying all weekend because I was sure that the only reason we hadn't heard anything was that something was wrong.
