Today, January 20th, 2009, was a great day in history, and I was fortunate to witness the magic with one hundred of my colleagues in a presentation theater at our headquarters at Mattel. We were clapping and cheering like we were all right there in Washington. I felt we were united and connected by our feelings of overwhelming happiness, hope, and pride for this country and its new leader. We were celebrating for him and for ourselves. I called in sick today to my job at Mattel. The corporate air-conditioned flu viruses finally got me... During my first week out of Mattel, I want to go snowboarding on one of the local mountains during the week--maybe on a Wednesday, because that was the day I had my weekly status with my boss. Then, once I'm at the top of the mountain, where there is better Blackberry reception, I want to send an e-mail with a photo to all of my snowboard friends. It will be my way to rub it in! After that, I will start worrying about life... This is an interesting article my friend Amy sent me that I can relate to: I'm about to leave a cozy, highly-paid job after almost 13 years to open my own .com start up. Drinking a Michelada in Mexico inspired me to write my farewell letter to all my friends at the company. I received over 170 replies, full of the most encouraging and positive words I could ever imagine, and for that I will always be thankful. |
