Send me your positive thoughts!

I'm not sure if there's anyone out there still checking our blog, it's been so long since I posted. I've been completely swamped at work, in my spare time the last thing I want to do is spend more time in front of my computer. Instead of the internet in my limited spare time, I decided to renovate our yard.....more details/pictures to come.

So last month I volunteered for a project at work, it's been a great opportunity to gain visibility outside of my organization. I have been working with all of the sales teams that support Cable companies in the US, gathering forecast and market share info to accelerate/prevent delay of the development of a critical piece of hardware.

Today is the culmination of all that work, I will be presenting to eight Cisco VPs. Several of whom report directly to our CEO John Chambers.

This is crazy. I'm trying not to freak out. I present to my customer's VPs and that is all fine and dandy, but Cisco is just different. People happily leave CEO and VP positions at other companies to become directors at Cisco, it happens all the time. Presenting to these people is way, way, WAY outside of my pay grade.

Please please please send me prayers and positive thoughts, I need to appear about 10 times smarter and more polished than I actually am. YIKES!

p.s. - a BIG congratulations to Steve and Laura Saba on the birth of their beautiful new baby girl, Zoe Fran Saba. Born Friday 5/22 at 12:47 am, she weighed in at 7 lbs 11 0z, measuring 19" long. Can't wait to meet her!
