Yesterday was a long time in the making for a LOT of people at work.  But it finally happened…  The EDSC (Electronic Discovery Solution Center) is FINALLY open.  For those of you that may not have a clue what that is, that is the name of the Building at Deloitte in which I work.  It has been a long process, but I have to say that I really feel like we, as a company, have really accomplished something.  Of course, things are still not 100% with the facility, but that is to be expected with a brand-new state-of-the-art building.  There will be some kinks for a little while until everything is ironed out.  It was really rewarding to be a part of the event, and I could see such a sense of accomplishment in my leaders as their “baby” comes to life.  It was also a tremendous opportunity to mingle with the “Higher-ups.”  I was able to talk to just about every manager-type person in the building that day.  A few of them I had worked with, so it was not surprising that they were aware of the work I had done.  Several others, however, I had barely even spoken with since day-one.  I was shocked when ALL of them brought up work that I had done, and they all had nothing but good things to say about me.  I had no clue I had made that kind of an impact, but I am very glad that my commitment to the company is not going un-noticed.  I feel more now than ever that I am valued, and knowing that makes going into work tomorrow that much better!

As for other things… nothing much has changed.  Eric is in the process of moving, so that’s what I have been doing for the past couple of nights.  Last night was a bitch, though, as we painted (primed) his room in order to avoid the painting charge.  That’s what happens, though, when you choose to paint your room a DARK, DARK color.  :p  It is a nice color, though, and I am looking forward to seeing his new room done in the same color with more trim-work.  This next year, with him living where he will be living, is going to be…  interesting.  We’ll just wait and see how this turns out.  I’m gonna head back over tonight to get the remaining stuff to the new place, then we’re gonna take the rest of the night off and hit the mall, the just hang at my place.  That will be fun.

I talked to the lady that runs JoZoara, my coffee shop of choice, and she is going to look at schedules to see if there may be a spot for me.  I told her that I wanted to work for her a couple of days out of the week.  It should be fun.  I really like people, so working in a coffee shop would be a REALLY good fit for me.  We’ll see.  Besides, I am somewhat popular, so sales will go up!   or not.   

I guess that is all I got today….  I should go back home and clean… 

NAH…  cleaning is not fun.
