Dustin started work with Halliburton this week. He is really enjoying his new job so far. He said it is a learning curve from what he came from, but he thinks it is going to be something he is going to enjoy for the long run. He has been exploring his new job sites, and getting acquainted with his new co-workers. We even got invited to a dinner for Dave, a guy who has worked with Halliburton for 35 years, anniversary dinner. I had a lot of fun, and I enjoyed putting a face to a name.
I on the other hand have had a week from hell! Tuesday I started my work week off in Beaumont. I really hate going their in the first place, but to make it worst I had to drive through the tropical depression. Then half way home I realize my center BIG diamond was missing from my ring. Of course I was in a complete panic. I drove over to my friend Amber's house. She ran outside, in the pouring rain, with Avery to help me look for the diamond. She laid Avery down in the back seat as we tore through my Tahoe. Thank goodness we found it, and I had her there to keep me from losing my mind completely! I have had a super busy work week, and I feel like I am never going to be able to catch up. Don't worry I will. I have the slowest market ALIVE this weekend in Dallas. I fly into Dallas on 9/11 to work in the World Trade Center....anyone else see the creepiness in this? It is so slow that I sit on my computer and watch football. I hate this market. Our Louisiana rep Joan is retiring after this market. I will be really sad to see her go. She is in her late 70's , and is the sweetest woman you will ever meet.
My Grandma Beken also turned 87 today. I went with my Mom to take her and Popo to lunch today in Columbus. When we left Popo needed to stop by the liquor store in Columbus, because they had Jim Beam $3.00 cheaper than Weimar, and he was almost out. We then tried to get Nana to try on some of the new clothes Mom got her. This was a process, but was really funny. She wanted to keep everything, and was so defensive when we said she needed another size. We had a great time!
Everyone have a great weekend!
BTHO Louisiana Tech!
