"If they could see us now.....

We have made it BIG!".....This is what Maria and I were saying on a recent work trip together in Charleston. We are saying this as we are in a convenient store, both on our hands and knees, moving equipment, touching god knows what and wearing latex gloves all the while.... And honestly having a blast!!!! You see although my best friend and I work for technically the same company, we do very different jobs and usually are always in a different city, so when we had the opportunity to spend 2 days working together in Charleston, it was a go... no matter what it was.

We were with a large group and all split into teams of two. Our goal: to place as many ice coffee cooler as possible (Cinnabon, try it, it's good!) and as quickly as possible. The reward: bragging rights....and Mia and I are competitive. So no amount of disgusting grease and gunk was going to stop us. But as we snapped on our latex gloves waddling into the store with our cooler, I looked at Maria and said "If anyone sees me I am going to kill you"....laughing she said yeah, people would be like "these are their plush Coke jobs, really?"...

To really put a picture behind the words, see Maria and me in action. Nothing was beneath us; we delivered equipment, set stores, mopped spills and everything in between including crawling behind trash bins to get to electrical outlets. Oh yeah...if they could see us now!!!!
Until next time.....Blog On!
