Me on the trail

James and I mostly worked on the budget for next year. It was fun and for a couple of the months he let me fix the numbers to how much I thought we would be able to achieve. He also had a few side assignments for me, such as blocking off rooms for Starwood Vacation Ownership, fixing spreadsheets, and doing odds and ends. We've done a lot of networking today too. James spent a lot of the day calling his counterparts to see if they were experiencing the same things we were. Although he couldn't ask for specific numbers, he could ask for rough estimates on how things are going. I can definitely see how keeping in good contact with your counterparts can really be a great advantage to you. As my mom would always say "Network . . . or not work!"
