So, I just came back from lunch with my manager (we went to McDonalds), and it was pretty good. We talked a lot about strategic directions and what has to happen to bring us to the next level of excellence. It was refreshing to hear that not all was lost in the world.

So, it's now only 2.5 hours until I get on a plane and find myself in Brussels. I am excited about it. I will be studying a topic that I have long wanted to begin working on (Project Management) on the road to certification (maybe I won't fail this certification like I have the previous ones ;).

Hmmm....well, back to work. There is so much to do and so little time, and I am *so* happy to be going to Brussels, I can barely contain my happiness! I am even staying my first choice hotel, the Hilton, because I have super status there and they will treat me like the God I am. :-)
