The Windy City
After last week's romp in Boston, I didn't think it was possible to learn any more about paint stores...boy was I wrong! This week in Chicago has my brain on overload with all the information I've gained for my career! I just want to get started!

Quick Update:
Last week was spent in Boston training for my job. The weather was crappy, but the landscape was still beautiful. Its just like I thought it would be - beautiful historic buildings, row houses. I spent the week touring different stores with someone who does what I will do. I even got to go to a manufacturing plant to see how paint is made - very interesting!

This morning, I recieved what is probably the wildest piece of mail EVER! My beautiful roomies from school sent me a gigantic bouncy ball complete with messages and postage...yes, the United States Postal Service delivered this ball just as any other piece of mail. All the way from Abilene Texas to Englewood Colorado, mail carriers were probably having a ball, no pun intended. Can you imagine?! It was a very special morning!

A Great First Day At Work!
Today was a great day as I attempted to ease into my new job. Most of the morning was spent learning the ropes around the office. The second half of the day was spent going around to the Guiry's stores with a rep who introduced me to a lot of people. Its good to start networking now so I have people to go to later. I learned a lot about Benjamin Moore today and I am even more convinced that this is a good company and they are really good to their employees. Next week I will be in Boston for 5 days, and the following week in Chicago for 5 days doing training. I am SOOO excited and I can hardly contain myself!
