My New Job!

My new boys! Lew is the one with the beer and he is basically Director over all the K-8 Sales Reps. Love him! Michael is the Operations Mgr. at the home office and a great friend (owner of retreivers!) The guy sneakin in the pic. is one my new Reps who coincidentally was the top selling rep for our Elementary div. and made $200,000.00 this last year! Go Arthur! (He's from DFW Nells!)

This as a great pic of Jacksonville bridge right outside our hotel. Two blocks further down was the Landing that was great for people watching!
That's right I rode a mechanical bull while I was in Jvillle! It was a hoot! 8 Seconds baby!!!
This a really bad fuzzy picture of my new team. These are all sales reps for the elementary schools throughout TX, WA, OH, SC, AZ, & MO. I am over all the AZ reps and a few TX and OH reps. 14 total and boy do I have my hands full! I needed something after doing Player's Pass for 3 year's, but I wanted to stay with the main company of Varsity Gold. I have been friends with the Operation Mgr. of VG2 or the K-8 Division as they are now calling us and a position became open and I said what the heck. Right now I am a little overwelmed with my new job as there are so many new things and so many people that I am helping at one time, but I'm hoping I'll find my niche! The people are great and really accepted me at the Jan Mtg. The main company Varsity Gold holds two national meetings a year where all 600 plus of us all come together as one company. For the most part and the high school reps. it is one big frat party as most of the sales reps there are old athletes or coaches. In January they have an awards banquet for all the top sellers for that year. Every body gets all done up, hence my shiny shirt! I decided since I was in JVille I might as well rock it JVille style a.k.a "Ghetto Fab!" I got the fab gold shirt for a total of $1o! Then by dear southern friend Dalinda, told me "Gurl, you gotta have sum asseries!" So she hooked me up with the big gold necklace and earrings! My outfit, besides the pants cost me a grand total of $23!!!

The meeting is a lot of work and you are seriously exhausted by the third day! It was fun to go to Fl though because I have never been there, and I got to meet a lot of great people and now have a fabulous gold shiny shirt! They also had Karoake one night, and yes I got up there with some girls and sang "Heartbreaker". It was crazy though because they had a live band that we had to sing to so it was bad!

My Varsity Gold dreams finally came true this trip as well. One of the HS reps used to dance back up for Vanilla Ice (yes, its true!) and we finally got him to do the dance for us! It was great! The guy looks like the elf in Rudolf that wants to be a dentist! Also, one of the HS reps used to be a semi pro wrestler and during one of the general sessions he totally pile drove someone! It was great! Ok so I think this is long enough and you are all probably very sad you told me to post something!

Christmas n New Year's Baby!

Ok so it's a little late, but better late than never right?! Christmas was an adventure as I watched my bosses two cracked out golden retrievers. Not that big of a deal but they did get to travel with me to Safford for two days! Coop who was an abused dog I think is even more tramautized now! It was good though, and hangin with my family is always good times! As with the rest of the "neighborhood click" I was really looking forward to the week after Christmas when the Quinn Family would once again be in good ol' AZ with us. Oh yeah I survived my talk in church, it wasn't great, but I did it!

As with all Donelle involved events there was an itinerary and outline of events the entire time they would be down. I forget how nice it is to not have to try and come up with things to do. Nells is a natural born planner and big bonus that the things she plans are always fun. I am very glad that I did get to get some Movie and Youtube time with Randy! I'm sad we didn't get to see Christmas Vacation, but the fact that you had the dickey makes it better! Let's face it "You're kind of a big deal, and people know you!"

New Year's Eve was interesting this year! The food was great and the friends were fabulous, but I'm pretty sure we can put the Newly Wed game to rest! I did post two of my favorite pics from that night. I wish I could remember which question we were discussing in the picture of the group, it must have been a good one though. I am giving up Chocolate and soda for my New Year's Resolution. I have already done this one, so those of you that think you have me cooking dinner in the bag don't start polishing your silverware just yet! I can be stubborn!
