Shut Up and Drive

Well, I've been quite busy this week, which I suppose will be the norm from now on.
Yesterday I had to go to Champaign, IL for work. I met another one of the Area Event Coordinator's down there and we interviewed a potential candidate (fortunately for everyone involved, he followed my simple rules from a previous post :P), did inventory at both stores and did some recruiting around the UofI campus. Antonio's brother goes to school there, so he tagged along and hung out with him while I was working. After I got done we all met up with Rob's girlfriend and went to dinner at this excellent local pizzeria. Antonio also made a detour to a liquor store to pick up some Boulevard Wheat beer, since they don't sell it in Chicago.
Today all of the Chicago area managers met up with our district manager to do some more recruiting. It was very helpful to do recruiting with some seasoned professionals, I'm now much more confident about how to go about doing it without acting like I'm trying to steal other people's employees, which is important.
We also had a meeting with all of the Store Directors in Illinois introducing our new program (and us!) to them. Everyone seemed really interested in the new program, so hopefully the transition will go smoothly.
After work I met up with a couple of my girlfriends for some Kona Grill. I haven't been there since Robbins Bros. closed, so we were definitely due for a visit! They now serve margaritas, which were decent for the $4 happy hour price. And the pot stickers were fabulous, per usual.
Once I got home I got some stuff prepared for work tomorrow and watched all 4 of my Thursday night shows: Parks and Rec, Project Runway, Grey's Anatomy and of course The Office. I really liked this week's The Office, the scenes with Pam and Andy were great! And you much watch the newest webisode, Subtle Sexuality, so funny! As far as this week's Grey's, it paled in comparison to last week's superb episode.
