I'm out
Apparently the higher-ups at work see some promise in me yet. I'm off to Florida for 5 days to attend a pretty well-known (at least in the industry) copy writing seminar.

It'll definitely help me out with my new responsibilities so I don't look like an asshole. There are going to be "intimate classes with copy writing legends." I'll be the judge of that! I'll also be wary of just how intimate they are.

As a bonus, the seminar is in Del Ray Beach, which seems like a fun town with, well, a beach. Looking at the schedule, I see that I have a lot of free time on most of the days and none of the classes go past 7.

That might be trouble. I'm going down with some fairly raucous friends. Not only that, but I don't think their division really gives a crap what some of them do down there and they certainly don't have the same expectations placed on them that I feel like I do. Basically, we're supposed to go down here with a project to work on and while I've had several meetings about my project, I'm pretty sure a couple of these guys don't even realize they need one.

So, normally I would just be hoping that I come back with a great idea, but in reality I'm hoping that I come back with a great idea, a still-clean record, my job, and my life.

Also, Missy and I went to see the realtor last night so we're now officially house hunting. I'm going to try not to get too stressed out during this whole process, but it might be impossible. Missy and I tend to get ideas in our head and then we want them done ASAP. People always tell us there is no rush, but that's just not how we work. However, I think that advice should be heeded on this issue. Otherwise, we may be very sad and stressed out in a couple of months.

So we'll see. Alright, take care.
