flipping M

So unlike the M states I am use to residing in, I visited a W state. I should have realized that it would turn my world upside down.. get it M W i guess it's not funny if I have to explain it. So I went on an exciting morale building visit to my company's headquarters. The meeting was great I drank the Koolaid, smoked the peyote. and saw and breathed the company vision.. Be nice to the customer talk to them and treat them nicely and they'll do business with us.. Damn I didn't need to drink the Koolaid.
I was stuck in the city an extra day and fell getting into a cab. So I go back to work inspired,hobbled physically, but ready to be nice. My Boss feels that I should have had more customers by now. All of my pre vision niceness doesn't count because, well you should undo 6 years of ignoring the customer by being nice for six months. That's how the vision works
I'm in my M state feeling M T.. so I need to make a new plan in my M world. How long will I be here in this state? who's to say? What do I do with this new baggage, a lovely corporate briefcase of feeling unworthy.. Do I unpack it or just put it in an overnight and look for a new space..

beginnings

Let's start at the very begining. A very good place to start. When you begin you should begin with ABC but that's not me
I'll start with MN. that's the first M in 5years. So I have lived in 4 M states in the last 5 years. yep
So I don't qualify for a game show but if the writers strike doesn't end soon I just might start my own.
Maybe a show on the discovery channel. instead of dirty jobs its packing moms or the quest to nest.
That's always the tough part of moving often ,rebuilding the feel of home. In Minn it was a joining of two homes into one. Deciding which set of glasses to keep. who had better knives? How many Tv's do two people need??? So it was a marriage. a lovely blending and merging but trying to keep some of the indentity we started with. and still having to decide what room his Mickey art work will live in.. give and take. so easy so simple then the surprise.

Baby Baby Baby.. yep and all of the accessories that go with one ...
