Work, Work, and More Work

So the past few weeks have been unbelievable. I will start with the week of the 12th.
I was invited to attend a training session for my job that is a very intense week long training. It was here in Texas, yet they asked that I stay in the hotel with the other participants because we were split into 5 groups of 6, and were expected to do a case study, and presentation on the last day. So We were in training from 8 - 5:30-6 everyday, then went to the Hotel, and worked on our case study, and presentation at night. It was non-stop. Our group happened to be the best group…if you ask me! I was very fortunate to get a good group of six. They all were very easy to work with, and had tons of great ideas! So our group was usually done by 9-9:30 each night, and still turned out the best presentation! Most of the other teams were up until 11-12 still working on theirs! So on Thursday night, we were complete with our PowerPoint, and we had the night to practice. It was a very long, and I did not have any time to do any of my normal work, so the weekend after, I got to work all weekend! The second crazy part, was that I was leaving for a trip where I was visiting 5 stores in Utah and Colorado, and I had had absolutely no time to get anything ready. So Monday I flew out to go on my trip. It went ok, even though it was also a very long, hard trip.
So I have not really been home for two weeks, I had a friend of mine watch Butch for the first week, and put him in the kennels for the second week, and he is a little worse for wear. I am so grateful that I have someone that would watch him that first week, so I did not have to put him in the kennels for 2 weeks in a row. He has a really hard time at the kennels, and I hate putting him up there for too much time.
Well, that is my last two weeks, as it relates to work! I feel like I could sleep for another two weeks, and not ever wake up!

Sounds like a crazy busy two weeks! I'm glad that your presentation went well, although it doesn't surprise me... You are good at things like that.
