Whisked Away




Well dear Hedgies, it's been a whirlwind ride this past week & I feel like Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in Alex Prager's very stylish interpretation of the Wizard of Oz. Add 30 years to the star & substitute the Merc. Roadster for the trusty Subaru Outback & I feel exactly like Lara does, being swept off her feet & sucked up into the vortex of a strong tornado with all her baggage! I finished at my old work late on Friday & start my new job tomorrow. However things are rather complicated as my new boss flew to London on Friday for a meeting & won't be back 'til Tuesday week. So we burnt the midnight oil late on Thursday night as he tried to cram all the stuff I need to know into my overloaded head so I can run things in his absence. It's just me in the office, so I'm just a leeeeetle bit concerned!!

For only the second time in 21 years I have a physical office to go to each day. I haven't needed to do the morning commute since 1997, so it feels very strange. Working remotely from HQ via a home office does have it's benefits, but I'm sure I'll adapt to the peak hour run down the Freeway with everyone else. So that's it, a new & very exciting chapter opens up in Miss Millie's life. I'm so happy, woo hoo bring it on!!! See you soon, I'm busting for a moment once the dust settles this coming week to call by & say hello to you all.

    Wishing you all the best for your fabulous new career! Your new boss obviously thinks you're adept at keeping the P&Ls in the black while he's away swanning around the UK, and we do too.

    Have been browsing the 'Garden' images of your Pinterest files... You're right, it's SO addictive. Your selection is amazing. The dogs are waiting for a walk but I can't pull myself away!

    Good luck Millie. You'll be great!

    Oh, I found that Mercedes clip hilarious! As long as you don't move in slow motion with a bewildered look on your face while wearing stilettos ala Ms. Stone, you'll be Aces, Millie. Seriously though, best to you in your new job and so good to hear you're happy with the change.
