What to write about today...

I was thinking about writing about the women I work with. They really are quite amazing.
Then after dealing with my son all afternoon and through the evening, I was going to write about parenting. I have pictures for both. I actually spent the most time on taking pictures of me to support my parenting discussion, but I'm in a better mood now, so I think I'll write about my co-workers instead. After all, who wouldn't want to see themselves in print?
These two lovely ladies are P and M. We'll keep it at that for now since I haven't exactly told either of them that I was going to put their picture on my blog and have it available for every creepy crawler on the internet to stare at.
So let's talk about P. She and I have worked together for a few years now. She actually sat in on the interview to hire me. We are just alike and completely opposite. She likes a good burger, just like I do. She's always on a diet, just like I am, and she's a princess. (Just like I am, but don't tell anyone!) Ok, so it's not like everyone doesn't see that, but I like to position myself as the queen, not the princess. Ok, I know, I know, the king. Whataya gonna do?! It's good to be the king! P's a very interesting character. She's fiercely loyal to her family, her clients and her convictions. Like me. She has an aversion to all things electronic or technical. Unlike me. She also is an admitted kiss-ass. Unlike me. I can accept this about her because she owns it completely and there are times when her kiss-ass approach is pretty useful. I just try to keep my projectile vomit off whoever she's schmoozing. The other lovely, M, is someone that works for me. I'm coaching her so that one day when the world finally acknowledges me (with cash) for my incredible ability, she will be ready to take my spot. She's another interesting one. She's been in the same role for the last 9 years and was incredibly good at her job. Her clients loved her, her team and management loved her, but she couldn't make it out of that department. She really is one of the best in her field and I was lucky to get her. She's also cheery. Very cheery. I don't know how someone can be like that every day, it's unnatural. One of our clients even mentioned something about it. I know for a fact that she has had some tough times, but she remains a ray of sunshine all day and all night. It has been really nice having her around. So here I am at work today. I decided to lug Big Mama around with me because I had this new lens. I have a little PaS (Point and Shoot) with me every day, but sense I'm still on a buyers high, I took the 40D (BigMama) with me to work as well. I pulled it out when we were all together just to play with it. I feel very blessed to be around both of these ladies. They are often subjected to me and my ego, moods, child issues, car issues, pms, and anything else that comes up in my day. They both have been very supportive and encouraging of me and all the little side trips I take on this journey. This picture is proof. How many other people would smile on cue after the coffee has worn off and before lunch time? A big thanks to you both! xo

On my Eye's note: This was taken with the 1.8 50mm. I had a single spot focus set which, I think, is why M isn't as clear on the first picture. Again I love how this lens really focuses on the subject only.
