The Day I Met Carla

My first day was cinch. My new boss (Steve Adams) is a dork. The lady training me is named Sandy Maggiore. She is a former Yellow Page Sales Manager in San Jose and she's very nice.

The second line manager, Nikki Bovee, is a beauty. She is nice too. I heard that she has been a judge for Beauty Pageant competitions. I wonder if she entered any beauty pageants in her heyday. I am going to have fun in my new office environment.

I also met, Carla Guzman, the staff clerk at my new office. She is so bubbly and cheerful, too. I love her smile. When I see her she lights up the day with a necessary energy. It makes going to work all the more pleasant.

It's going to be a blast at my new work environment (except when/if Paul Margolis shows up as an Account Rep).

I almost ended up babysitting Ashley but Sherri (Ashley's mom) showed up in time.

I am sure I saw my first cousin, Joey Armijo, at the gym last night. It could have been my imagination. He was not in very good shape. I didn't say anything to him because I was in the middle of my Lifecycle routine and I would have had to hop off of the bike and lose my place. I'll wait until I'm sure it is him.

I played it cool. I am still taking-in all of the new things at work. I went to bed early.

Johnny Schaefer telephoned from Los Angeles.

I am looking forward to my second day at Pac Bell Directory.
