Rush hour traffic
You know the phrase Monday blues?  I have had anything but the Monday blues.  In fact, Mondays may be my new favorite day of the week!  

Today has been chalked full of work upon work. While most may consider this draining, I find it to be exciting.  Not to mention, it made my day go by really fast which is an added bonus.  I spent the vast majority of my time making phone calls and emails trying to find vendors and sponsors for the Rainier LAX Cup.  It was a bit nerve wrecking talking on the phone, but I really got to hone my communication skills in a professional manner. I must not have sounded too nervous though; I managed to get a verbal agreement from Sea Town LAX, a local lacrosse retailer and Fine Designs, a custom t-shirt company.  I am waiting on a couple more retailers to call me back later this week, keeping my finger crossed!    

The second half of the day was way more stressful.  I had to hand deliver posters/flyers to local business all over the greater Tacoma area.  Now I know this doesn't seem like it would be stressful, but I am not a local of Tacoma WA, therefore I am not at all familiar with the area.  This assignment should have only taken me an hour, it ended up lasting two.  This just reassured me never to audition for the Amazing Race; I choke under pressure when it comes to driving, especially in unfamiliar territory.  Also, I strongly believe every hour is rush hour in the Sea/Tac region.  Bumper to bumper traffic, mixed with bad directions, exhaustion from an already long day, equals not a happy way to end my afternoon. But! Despite the awful driving aspect, I look forward to returning to my desk on Wednesday to what will hopefully be a grip of voice messages and emails.
