busy, busy...

I really need to go to bed but I'm gonna get a quick post in. Problem is, my "quick" post is never really quick. There's so much I want to talk about with the economy being what it is and me working in a top 10 bank in the country, I obviously have a lot to say. Political race is heating up, they have the $700B communism package (er, I mean the bail out package), nfl/fantasy football is obviously a fun topic, etc etc. And yet I just haven't had a chance to talk about any of that because I am so busy...

Work has been real good. I was selected to be in the first class of a "rotation program" which would mean starting 1/1, I will be in a new department. This seems to be a pretty big deal with a bunch of people congratulating me for it even though I seem to fail to recognize the significance... or maybe it just hasn't sunk in yet. I know that I am one of the top performing managers in my overall department and I've heard rumors of me being in high demand for some of the departments that's part of this rotation program so that's exciting... I guess... if you get excited by stuff like that. Having said that, there's a perception that I am bailing out on my current group which is definitely not my intent... this was an opportunity too good to pass up but really, doesn't everyone say that. I really hate the perception that I'm bailing but amongst the finance group, our team gets a bad rep in terms of work load... but I'm not gonna complain because I got a lot of compliments/high marks for turning the morale of the team around. I was always good at stuff like that.

So, job is going great which in this economy, it seems like I should be grateful for. But it's keeping me uber busy and so I don't get the chance to post during the day. And now it's past midnight and I need to wake up in 6 hrs so that I could go play ball in the morning. Man... I hate myself every morning.

Seriously though, I have opinions on a lot of things and I want to dump them out here as soon as possible but time has been an issue. Hopefully, I'll get to catch up at some point.

Everyone, have a good weekend. For some of you out there, I guess I will see you at the Bash!!!!!
