I'm a rambling machine

I don't know what happened to me, but lately I've been a machine at work. It's like after a year my mind finally succumbed to the more mundane parts of the job and is finally just rolling with it. It may have to do with my workload which just keeps growing. I have the largest book of business out of anyone else in my position (almost 30 million) and I have one of the highest policy counts. In other words, it's not like a few accounts dominate all that premium.

I'm doing a crap load of endorsements, re-editing renewals and preparing new business like always, but in much greater quantities, and it's only going to pick up. I still have to stay late which is getting pretty old. 6 months ago all I thought about was how much more money i could make staying. Now all i can think about is all the other stuff i'd rather be doing.

I think one of the major things that has led to my productivity gains is that I've become very organized. Most of you out there know that that is a pretty big deal. I just can't keep track of all the details in my head, so I have to flag everything with post-it notes and stick it in certain spots to make sure it gets done.

I guess the main reason work feels busier is that I'm trying to get ready for the work I'll be missing over the next week and a half. I'm taking Friday off for the Arthur visit and I'm taking Thursday and Friday off for my job interview. Good thing I bought two suits because they are spreading the interviews over two days. I need to kick some serious butt on those.

I'm going to be interviewing directly with a Senior VP of the region so I really need to not make a fool of myself. I few canned jokes won't suffice because I'll be in interviews for approx 6-8 hours. If that weren't enough, I'm going out to eat with the SVP. The question is how am I going to talk about myself for 6-8 hours? At that's not even the end. I think there's even more testing with corporate afterwards (I've already taken two tests) and, if I remember right, another interview.

Hopefully I live through this process. My one friend said it sounded like the application process for the FBI. heh.
