Don't just stand there - do something!

Yesterday's meeting went better than I anticipated. I didn't go in there with my gun's blazing...instead I laid my problems out there in a calm way before handing the majority of the meeting over to our members. I stepped out of the room, leaving them with 5 questions to discuss, and an hour later they were all still talking. A success! I think we are all on the same page now - they know my expectations (and obstacles) and I know theirs. It was exactly what we both needed. Unfortunately, it made me miss my yoga class. I guess I'll have to try to do the little I've learned on my own until next week's fix.

We found out on Friday that Franklin will not be able to give Brian an offer until maybe the middle of this week. I could tell Brian was totally disappointed. I was disappointed too. Why can't they just do it?! I know Brian wants to work for them...but it is looking like he will end up at Atlas. He is going to speak with them tomorrow. We should be jumping up and down over this...he has a job! It just doesn't feel like something to celebrate though. I know Brian didn't want to end up there - mainly because he will have to deal with EMH&T a lot there. His old company is a client of Atlas. I feel badly for Brian...yet we both know he needs to accept the offer in the wake of no offers from the other two places.

This morning I was reading the Sunday paper and I realized that I have a rather morbid habit of reading the obituaries. Well, I don't exactly read them - I scan each entry for the age of the deceased. In fact, I pay little attention to the names of the people but note the age range of the dead...lots of younger people (under 30) this morning. I also get really annoyed when they don't reveal the cause of death. This led me to tell Brian that when I die, I want him to put right in the first paragraph my age and cause of death - none of this "called back to the Lord" nonsense either. I wonder if anyone else does this?

In case you didn't hear: How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men are all brand-spanking new tomorrow. I'm not really a fan of the last show - but Brian watches it whenever Heroes isn't on. I also read that they are moving House to Mondays beginning April 28th.

I'm not sure what we are doing today. I thought about going the International Car Show downtown...today is the last day. I wanted to see all the new fancy cars - including the cool new "Transformer" car. There is an Easter Egg Hunt with JDRF too. Hell, maybe I'll just stay in my pajamas. LOL

Hope you all have an easy Sunday kind of morning...
