But my legs don't have a sore throat

I am pulling an all nighter....college years anyone?
I have had my ass kicked at work. Since I have been at the new place a whopping week it is time for a vacation. We leave in a few hours for a cruise -woot-
Yesterday I had my Mystic tan...no Oompa Loompa effect....tonight I had my toes done. The usual place was closed, as I had worked late. I went to the mall. They used something that had Halls Vapor mints ground into it. My legs felt CRAZY after this. Whatever...the little piggies have I'm not really a waitress red and it looks better than I could do.
On the work front I am bummed I am going to miss one of my trials while I am away. And I have learned mediation is a complete joke. And this mess with binding high low agreements on arbitrations...oh mercy the chain saws I juggle. The juggling monkey will go enjoy the warm waters. Then I will juggle more.....
Oh, I purchased a Nikon point and shoot. I figure since the DSLR is a Canon I would mix it up a bit. I will post some pix sometime upon my return.

A Change of Plan

Sometimes I really do not know where I am headed, but I know where I am going will be better. I have made the decision to change jobs. Whoopie! I will be moving up the ladder kind of....I have accepted a position as a litigation handler of injury claims and bad faith claims. Basically I will be an attorney wrangler. I am so excited. This will be great for many reasons. I have been in the insurance industry for 5 years now and it was time to do more. I thought law school was the "more", then After careful examination of my lifestyle and what it will take (mainly money) I decided it was not a fit. Then I thought CPCU was the route to go. Not to sound lazy....but I am not in this to run an insurance company and the intense studying was not fitting in with my lifestyle. I will get to learn so much in my new role. I am very excited for this! I have been doing the same thing for awhile. New vocabulary words: summary judgement, deposition, mediation, and the one folks will make me pull my hair out with is proper service. Did I mention I will be handling 19 states? Yeah.
