Great day today. Visa priority report session yesterday. Session one yesterday. Onsite in town today. Demo for a client, for one of their potential clients. Big client. I think it went well. 

I think it helped that it was just me making these decisions. I didn't have a chance to second guess myself. I worked. I reviewed. I planned. I excexrutrd the plan. I helped. I strategized. I gave knowledge. 

I felt powerful. And I realized I could do this. In California. And make a pretty good living. 

I might enjoy this work. 

I have plans with people this weekend. Flight home next weekend. Another flight in June and another one in July. Long weekend in July. 

Days/weeks like this make me think I can do it. And I made the right decision.

Work has been better this week. I think the fact that a negative person left the office is 90% of the reason people aren't taking things so seriously. More joking. More conversation and input. More collaboration. Actual. Laughter. Amazing how an insecure manager can make things so hard for people. 

Definitely noticed a huge impact on my perspective and attitude toward moving here. It's hard to stay positive when the reason you moved to another state isn't what you expected at all. 

 the very first thing I loved about Arizona was the way it smelled when it rained. It's raining now, and cold, which makes me so happy. Gonna be some good sleep tonight.
