So, I started passing off tangible assignments to the coworkers that will be filling my shoes as I leave here in two weeks. Binders, folders, files, etc., all leaving my bookshelves and drawers and walking across the media floor to the two guys that will be maintaining the campaigns I’ve been responsible for. [...]

I’m so restless and bored and lacking motivation. I had two separate conversations with two different people yesterday about the exact same thing.

Ok, today I had probably THE most fun rep lunch I have ever had in the history of having lunches with sales reps. Fantabulously awesome co-worker Lindsay and I met our reps from Meredith Interactive (the online partners and publishers of Better Homes & Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, More magazine, etc.) for lunch at Zelo.
