you'll find me under the palm branches

After going through the interviews and tabulating the results, I finally got to hire another assistant. The rankings were close and because of the union environment I work in, the final decision was based on seniority. Not necessarily the way I would have gone (my first choice would have been the candidate that listed "handsome and charming" as qualifications on his application because it made me laugh), but I think it'll be good to see how things work out. If nothing else, I'm just happy to have extra hands to carry out my bidding.

After being off-site for so long, it's a struggle getting back into the swing of things at the office. This morning, I was welcomed back with a tonne of messages on my machine and plenty of e-mails in my inbox with urgent requests. Much cursing and head-pounding quickly ensued. There may have also been a few shaken fists.

To cheer me up, Terry decorated my office with three 4' palms in my office brought back from our Home Show booth. They now sit in a row on top of a series of cabinets above my desk (my office boasts a high, vaulted ceiling). It feels like Miami everytime I step in there. It's slightly ridiculouus, but I love it just the same.
