Busy, but it is Paying Off

I've had tons to write about lately, but I've been staying off of the computer most of this week. I've been busy trying to do this job as well as I can and it seems to have paid off a little bit.

Today we went to Decatur again for our weekly meeting. I was feeling kinda chill, because I didn't get enough sleep and I had also not hit any of my (extremely lofty) goals for the week. However, I found out during the course of the meeting that even though I didn't hit my goals... I should still be happy because I did have my best week in sit-downs and in customers, I hit the pacesetter for the third time, and I had the most customers in the 'org' for the week -- 28. I beat out Galen, Kevin and Ketan, who usually dominate the customers and units categories. That was a suprise to everyone in the room and quite the pleasant suprise to me.

The whole thing was actually kind of funny, because I wasn't thinking about customer numbers at all this week. Then at the recognitions I was standing up there with just two other guys, and they have this process where they narrow it down to two people and then just one person. I was shocked when I was the last person standing. Everyone was shocked when I was even standing there as one of the final too -- especially the announcer. He made a huge deal about it, which struck a balance between rude, commending, and funny.
