The last bit of news I received from Jay was that he managed to recover almost 5 GB, and it was trying to pull down the "broken" files. 525 of them. He's managed to recover a tremendous amount of files, and I only ended up losing a fraction of them, so I'm thrilled about that! My only last hope now is that the "lost" files are ones I didn't care about or need anyway :) Did I mention he's a god!
On another note, I've just been offered an opportunity to join the Meeting Play team, which is an incredible opportunity. Meeting Play is pretty much a separate part of the company I work with, and it's growing like a weed. We're looking at having to begin hiring on a bunch of people to support it.
I've been asked to come to the February 5 - 8 meeting for Worley in Dallas / Ft. Worth, TX to be trained, and see if it's something I might want to do. I was hesitant at first, because I've traveled on business a lot before, and it gets very old after a while. It's definitely got is perks though.... being paid to travel can certainly be fun, too :) I guess it just depends on where you're traveling to, and how often you're traveling.
Although I do have to give my former boss, Art, some credit... back in the day, when we were traveling so much on business, he did always try to take at least one afternoon to sight see or do something entertaining. We had a lot of fun on a few of our trips, but nevertheless, it ran its course after a while. Plus, the idiotic gossip back at the workplace just got to be unbearable anymore. That place was full of miserable gossips, with their Queen at the helm. Art always said it was fueled by jealousy, which I think is just as idiotic. It really was so much like high school. Everyone was always so cut-throat and out for themselves. It was just the culture there. Thank god those days are behind me. My life is SO much better now that I work with an entire team of such intelligent, talented, driven, and kind people. I couldn't ask for a better dream team!
Anyway, we apparently just landed our first white label enterprise account... Pepsi. This is huge. Really, really huge for us. We trusted Joe from the beginning, and this just goes to show exactly why. He is so ambitious, and he's a genius... he is destined for success, and we're so honored to be a part of the team from the ground floor. He's also such a great guy to work for in general. I really, really love my job.
So, after Dallas, if I decide it's something I want to continue doing, I'll basically have the opportunity to choose several meetings / places I'd like to be included in (to travel to & work at). It sounds like an awesome opportunity!! So I'm very much looking forward to seeing where this leads.
With that said, I suppose today I'm grateful for options, opportunities, and anticipating the future! Life is good :)
