Business Trip

On Monday we were informed that of our section's staff members in Juneau will be transferring to another department on October 1st. As part of my duties at the new job, I will be flying down to Juneau tomorrow to train with her and hear her job inside and out in two days so that I will be prepared to train her replacement. Two days to learn as much as I can of another position in a different office.

It should be... "fun".

I am looking forward to seeing Alaska' capital city for the first time and putting faces to all of the telephone voices and email signatures of people in my division. And to not have to clean up Olive's accidents. And to not have to look at Steve's growing mountain of socks next to the couch.

I'll go back to Juneau at the end of the month to hopefully conduct some interviews and offer the perfect person the position. It all happened so quick, it's weird to be the kind of person who goes on business trips, has a business credit card, rents business rental cars.

To help balance all of this adult business, I intend to jump on the hotel bed a lot and maybe even eat M&Ms for breakfast. Look out, Juneau, I'm about to go crazy-wild.
