Ok, ok, so it's been a while, but let's be honest, there's only a miniscule group of people reading this, at least based on the 2 comments a century that I get on here. However, I'll give the benefit of a doubt that there are those (identity kept secret) who are afraid to comment because the computer is too "high-tech" of a thing and they're not sure how all of that works anyway. Whatever. But a disclaimer on my part, I still have no internet connection at home except for those rare moments such as this when I can tie up the phone line, and I'm guessing I might not be sticking around at Fossil too much longer if I was taking time to post from there. So there you have it. I do what I can.
For now, I'll give a brief version of the latest adventure at work. A week or so ago, we had our Annual Sales Meeting, a 3 day long event that I didn't understand half of. Or much of any of it actually. But one afternoon we had a team builder which apparently used to consist of going to a ropes course. Here a sigh of relief was breathed after it was announced that we were actually trying something different this year: our own version of the Amazing Race. Now for those of you who don't watch this show, we need to talk. Cause they don't call it amazing for nothing. Anyway, our 4 teams ventured out to follow clues, complete tasks, and buy watches all around the Dallas area. Our team traveled to GolfSmith where one of us had to hit a drive and another sink a 10 ft putt. (Got that one, being the golfer that I am...!) We journeyed to a new Fossil store to seek out a certain t-shirt and then on to an apartment complex where our clue was waiting at the bottom of the swimming pool. Finally, we all met up at a bowling alley where the first team to get 2 strikes won the race. A close second place we were. In conclusion, it was a great way to spend an afternoon of "work." But I do believe it has made my desire to actually be on the show that much stronger. Over 40,000 miles in 30 days, never knowing where you get to go next. Pretty incredible. Until then, tune in next Sunday night, 8:30 pm on CBS, for the season premiere. Should be amazing.
Gretchen,
It sounds like this is the perfect job for you! Did you really sink that 10 foot putt? I am impressed! That sounds like a lot of fun. I hope the weather wasn't too hot for that kind of running around. When you sign up to be on the show you can tell them your previous experience and maybe they will let you on! In the mean time, keep us tuned to all your adventures.
