Back from Columbus (actually, we all came back yesterday, but it was snowing and I had lots of stuff to do). The last night was very interesting to say the least. I'm pretty proud that I didn't get so drunk that I puked over any VP's or managers or anything, but I was told that I got a little loud and punched a couple people, not to mention slurred a couple sentences here and there.

All in all, the trip was a blast. I got to meet a lot of coworkers that I haven't met before, most of whom I've talked to on the phone. Had a lot of laughs, lots of great experiences, and made some friends. My anxiety about the new company is lessening, thanks to the warm welcome and helpfulness that our coworkers have given to the new Chicago kids. I had an awesome time bonding with my fellow Chicago people as well, since this was a mini-roadtrip for us.

----------------------------------------------

Some of you may remember earlier this week, when I lamented about the passing of my beloved purse.

As with the deaths of 'normal' people, tragedy has struck me in threes. Not only did my purse break last week, but I lost my favorite hat and scarf at the airport. Now my warm fuzzy gloves will not have anything to match with! I loved that scarf! That hat was so cute! I don't have any pictures of the scarf, but I do have my 'Self Dorktrait' that I took last year.

I'll be calling the Columbus Airport today to see if anyone has found them, but I don't know if it's worth asking them to send it back to me.

Until then, I won't post a song, I won't post any favorite memories, I just want to have a moment of silence for my hat and scarf, lost somewhere in an unfamiliar town.

*shh*

*waits a moment*

*cries*

*sigh*

Thanks. Hope they find their way home.
