Izzie It Is




I did indeed go as Izzie to work today. I was afraid of looking too casual, but one of the managers actually was wearing scrubs as well. I wish I could post pictures I took, but I really don't know how to and I don't feel like asking my husband too, but I took our picture because I was Izzie and she looked like Miranda. It was pretty funny. I ate way too much candy and was pretty hyper by the end of the day, but we had a good time. I thought I would post some pictures of my "costume" and yes that does say Izzie on my badge.

Happy Halloween




Tomorrow is Halloween. I am actually dressing up as a "nurse" at work tomorrow. Yeah pretty much it is an excuse to wear scrubs to work. I think I will make myself a name tag that says "Izzie" on it so people will really think I made a thoughtful effort creating my costume. Someone told me I should dress up as a fairy...good idea but probably a week late. Oh well. We are doing trick or treating at work and also creating some type of locomotive. Our team got a late start due to how crazy busy it has been the past month, but slowly but surely it is coming together. I don't think we will be watching any scary movies tomorrow night. I have several like The Grudge or the Emily Rose movie, but John Mark doesn't like scary movies. Well I should be getting to bed. I am already counting down the days until the weekend. Oh and check out my nails for the festivities...though black nail polish is in right now. Go figure.

So Here I Am



Yes it's me again. Trying to start ANOTHER blog so I can maybe actually keep up with it like I should. Who am I? That's a good question. Some people think I'm a funny, outgoing fashionista, while others think I am quiet, shy and timid (and probably those who I grew up with think I am a "grunge girl"). It's pretty funny that I have found my "assertiveness" in the corporate world. I am not sure if it is the whole "every man (or woman for himself" mentality, but let's just say when it comes to walking around my corner of the 11th floor in the building where I work I don't really know what shy is. It's kind of like a cat when someone else comes into their territory, they are usually really bold and "mark" whomever that may be by rubbing against their leg, but if you take them for a drive in the car in "unknown" territories they shake and shed really bad.

I had an interview this week and really felt like I was in my element. I have figured out that all interviews are is a way to brag about yourself. You put yourself in the spot light and convince the other person why you are the best man for the job. There isn't much room for humility in interviews. You have to sell yourself. It is kind of scary that I would find myself in my "element" while bragging about myself...but in the corporate (and almost any) world it is one of those necessary things. I just hope my interviewers see it my way.

I'm promise my blogs will not be incoherent ramblings, but the first one is since I don't have much to say (Could have fooled me, right?). So here's to new blogs and coherent thoughts. Cheers.
