This morning at 10:30 I have a sales meeting which only lasts for 15 minutes. Going down to Denver and back for such a short amount of time is a lot of driving but this is the first sales meeting of the year and my only chance to see the Colorado sales team until next month. In our business, getting the sales people at the distributor focused on your products is a necessity. After a quick stop to say hi to my Mom, I should be back up by 2 or so including stopping at the grocery store in Frisco.
This morning on the way to school we’re picking up Jag’s friend Zach who is staying with us for the weekend. His parents are taking Zach’s little brother Ryan, to Crested Butte as he has a mogul (skiing) competition. He’s only like 10 or so but up here they already compete. Their family is leaving at 5 am which is about 15 minutes ago and we’ll get him around 7:20. The kids also have Ski Friday meaning the whole school goes skiing around 11am for the day. What a life, huh.
With Zach coming, we had to clean the house, which was long overdue anyhow. It always takes some kind of event or people coming over to get us motivated to really clean up around here.
Lori wrapped up work at 7pm last night. She’s sure working hard. Yesterday though, she did offer 2 girls jobs and they both accepted and are thrilled. They’ll start in two weeks, which will give her two weeks to train them before we’re gone for a week. Once she gets through the training, she’ll have a much stronger team and hopefully then won’t be working as much. I told her last night, she’s so good at her job as she approaches it as if she’s an owner while others act only as employees. People notice too. Dr P., who the clinic is named after, and the other surgeons refer to her as a “monster” meaning she can and does, do anything to get the job done. Even Dr. C’s wife told her yesterday “we’re so lucky to have you”! Lori replied, ” well I signed up for a job and you just have to do what you have to do”.
Anyhow, that’s kind of our motto. We plan on retiring within 5 years or so and plan on doing so in a good position so we are both “powering out” with our ultimate end goal in mind. Time to run as it’s 5:28. Have a good weekend, there’s good football on tomorrow and Sunday, Go Packers and God Bless.
