She also told me that while its not in the cards right now, over the next year we plan on growing exponentially and then there will be VP opportunities, so she wants me to come to her with a proposal for some mentorships/training for the next year to get me up to speed with the smaller details that I need to work on. She said I have the important stuff...passion, dedication and brains! Yay, I gots respected!

I LOVE good bosses that make you feel a warm and special.
This is good. You asserted yourself, showed ambition, and stepped up to help with duties during a tough time. You will be on their radar in the future.

I'm wearing a "cup" if Kathy ever comes near me with a heat seaking cane.

John got a surgery date!!!!

He slid into a cancellation for March 26th....only 2 years, 2 months after his injury.

We are jumping for joy....well, John's not jumping, but hopefully within a few months he will be.

There will be a period of rehab after his surgery, being he has been immobile and couch bound for two years, but all he can think about is going back to work.

Me too. $$$$$

Ginger, hope you get promoted - keeping fingers crossed!

I will relax from a week in Paris before going to another week in Paris. What I still have to recover from is that two persons in Paris (my boss and someone else I have been working with closely this week) asked me today if I'd be back on monday when I told them more than once that I would and when leaving Paris yesterday I said 'see you on monday'... is this a men-thing or is this a french-men-thing?????

Going to see my niece on sunday as she started to walk and judging from the pics she is very proud of herself.
We will....as for the Monday thing...it happened to me last week too...it might also be a people-not-listening thing too . Post some pics if your niece walking. Tots have the best smiles when they start walking.

Kathy will get a cane to use, but it may not be one she keeps for a long time.
When I get one, I want an ornate wood carved one with all kinds of nymphs and creatures on it.

I can drink tonight and still not be hungover in the morning. Let the weekend party begin!
it is a pretty city, but cold. Have fun
