I want a new bag! I want a new bag!<\/p>\n<p class=\"noadbriteinline\">Why are bags so expensive?  I found this bag at Franklin Covey which I thought I liked, but it&#8217;s freakin&#8217; ginormous!  It looks like luggage.  They did have this nice business tote, though.  But I already have a laptop bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"noadbriteinline\">They have a whole bunch of bags at 60% off right now because the new bags are coming in January.  Maybe Brian will surprise me with a new bag.  Hint, hint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"noadbriteinline\">Kidding aside, I have the best work group ever!  They gave me a couple of gift cards, a boquet of flowers, and a musical card for Boss&#8217; Day.  It felt like Christmas!  The musical card was a challenge to read because everytime you opened it, it played that &#8220;All Star&#8221; song from the Shrek  movie really, really loud.  I love getting musical cards for others, too.  I just never realized how bad it is when you&#8217;re trying to be quiet.  LOL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"noadbriteinline\">Anyway, it was very, very sweet and generous of them.  I told Brian I feel really bad because I have been so swamped and stressed out lately.  With everything going on, I haven&#8217;t had the time to spend with each person that I want to; I set some aggressive goals this year based on last year and I haven&#8217;t done as well at achieving them.  It&#8217;s just one thing after another after another that you have to work on.  Since there&#8217;s only so much of you, things get accomplished at the cost of other things.  Right now, my team is getting the short end of the stick and I feel terrible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"noadbriteinline\">Brian they just want to do something nice for me, so I should be happy instead of feeling bad.  And I am happy.  Thanks to my work group I might just get a new bag!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want a new bag! I want a new bag! I want a new bag!
