The weeks seem to go by faster now. I think it has something to do with ‘the Excitement I Feel for Chad’. I am glad he’ll be around for a while.
My Company Conference at the Mark Hopkins Hotel is scheduled for today. I’m pretty excited about it. I keep forgetting to tell Chad the news about my brother, Tony, transferring in to my office at the end of January. Why he had to follow my moves is beyond me? Anyhow, he’s coming and I know his transfer was probably partially picked up due to my excellent performance in the office. Larry, my second line manager, probably figured another ARMIJO would do the office justice. Oh well, Tony will be in the other side of the office amidst the eighty people that roam our office. I may never really come in too much contact with him.
Tony and I get along reasonably well but too much of the bull-headed TAURUS gets on my nerves. He sometimes acts like he’s too good and then again he’s docile enough as far as I’m concerned. We always had fights and arguments when we were younger. Maybe it’ll get better now that “H” is his wife (and she loves me much).
I boarded a bus and headed up to the Mark Hopkins Hotel. It was nice. It was truly a fun-filled day, too. It started out with a roll and coffee and them some comedy team called Murphy St. Paul. The comedy team played Masters of Ceremonies for the day. Rewards were distributed. Part of the day included the Golden Gate Bowl which was made up of answering each other’s questions throughout ten groups. Then we formed small groups for a short problem-solving session. There was also a lecturer who entertained us on how to breathe and deal with difficulties at work (as well as getting more enjoyment from our work). It was really a fun day.
I realized that my brother, Tony, is going to be coming in my office at the end of next month (January 1986). I am not too thrilled about it…especially when my boss, Stephanie, said, “Larry says he got word from Tony that he was going to show you up.”
“I’m not out to compete with my own brother,” I thought, “I don’t know what his problem is—maybe he just didn’t know what other conversation to make with Larry. He’s such a dip!”
Chuck Koveley came over to our table and spoke with me, Carl, Margaret, Sue and Mary. He was pretty nice. He’s the VP of Marketing. I’d like to meet up with him again and exchange ideas. Then again I’d kind of like to simply transfer-out to Directory Yellow Page Sales. At least I’ll have my Marketing Degree and three references of documentation (includes one form S. Redding and my current boss) to support me. I just may submit three transfers for a Directory Sales Representative position in Oakland, San Francisco or San Jose. I might submit one for Directory Advertising Rep. in Los Angeles, too. What the heck!
From 5:30PM—7:30PM there were cocktails served at the Mark Hopkins Hotel. I must have had five or six Vodka gimlets. In fact, I’m still ‘buzzing’ as I write in my journal now and I’m on the next day…ready to write my entry for Friday morning, 7:30AM.
