I am such a workaholic...
Lately I have been working REALLY hard, probably harder than any job that I had committed myself to. Why you ask?? I love the company, people that I work with and my department. Last Friday my boss, who is for sure my favorite boss I ever had, resigned. She(Carol)is moving to the East Coast and getting marry. I am so happy for her, but it was very sad and bitter sweet for me to see her go. We had taken her out to lunch that day and I was trying not to get sad, but I couldn't hold it back in the end. When I walked her to the car, I started crying. I know, I am such a baby. BUT it's so hard to see a great manager and leader leave your side. I will forever be grateful to her, because she had given me this one chance in a lifetime opportunity. She had given me my start and possibly a opportunity which I can grow and retire from one day. It's something that I had always wished for all my life and now I have it. Especially with a great company such as E*trade Financial, who they really believe on taking care of there employees and giving them a chance to grow. My future boss is awesome as well, because I already know her. Rachel (future boss)got promoted and we are very close. She is on vacation right now, so I am the acting manager till she gets back from her vacation. It has been so cool having that temporary role. That is why I have been working so hard lately. Projects, meetings and conference calls everyday. That is my daily routine lately, plus business luncheons with clients and upper managements. We have a huge Ducati Motosports show in August and I will have to attend on behalf of E*Trade, since we are Ducati's financial instuition. For all of you that are not familiar with Ducati, well to make the long story short, it's a very expensive Italian made motorcycle maker. Check out ducati.com for more info.
Now, enough of the work talk!!! Kristopher and I experienced a little bump last Friday during work, because he feels like I am not giving him very much time. Which is somewhat true. Even though we work in the same company, we really don't get the chance to see each other very much. Which is good and bad when your dating someone in the same company. He is in a totally different division and we don't sit by each other. We only have time to take little breaks, lunches when we can (which is hardly) and emails everyday. After work I am either burned out by my commute, work or I decide to work out in the onsite gym. Usually on the weekend, I try not to go out that much also. I really have a full day and I need my rest. We didn't get the chance to see each other last weekend, because of Father's Day. I felt really bad, because his father is not around and not in his life anymore. Sometimes he gets really cautious or he second guesses how I actually feel about him. I think he may be insecure or have trust issues due to the absence of his father. To be honest, I care about him and that feeling grows daily, but I am still really trying to get to know him. I want to do it right. Made mistakes before and now I had learned from it, not making another one. I do know that I would like to make what we have right now grow as time passes. He makes me laugh and it does feel really good to be around him. It's the whole package with him. We enjoy being around each other and talking to each other. Even though we don't get to spent alot of time together, but for some reason it seems like it is bring us closer. It gives us a chance to miss each other and it means so much more when we do get to be around each other. I learned that it's not really healthy to see your other half or someone your dating every single day. You need space and the other person does too. You also don't want to be totally dependent of that person or change your independence. He wants to take me out of town the weekend after 4th of July and I am still thinking about that. Why I haven't say no yet, you ask?? Going out of town is something big and I really do want to, but we will see. My friends are coming down 4th of July weekend and I know I might get really burned or should we say party out with them. Who knows, I probably or most likely will go with him...haha He makes me HAPPY!!!
