Checkin' In: Saying Hi, Checking in on Leadership and Potential Raises!

[Pampered Laura]

Hey guys - just wanted to say Hi and check in with yall...
Is everyone back from leadership? I just returned from our version of "Leadership" in Hollywood California (doubled as a mini-incentive trip, too). What a blast!

Oh! Hey - did you guys get a raise???? I heard through the grapevine that one was supposedly coming... that'd be great for you guys!!

Can't wait to see the new products coming out! I got invited to a show coming up soon. LOL.

 

[PamperedDor]

Hi - I am new at this board - why did you leave the PC business if you don't mind me asking -

 

[Pampered Laura]

Hi Doreen,
Sorry I won't be addressing that particular question on the board in public, out of respect for my Cheffer buddies. I hope you understand!

You just don't look the same without the tutti-fruti hat.

Totally understand and appreciate that! You are so sweet!!

 

[rennea]

Hi Laura hope all is going great your way!!!!! We all here on CS have been waiting for pictures of the new products, can't wait

I'm sure in the need for some good new bedding and towels, a certain company needs to come to Canada if you know what I mean


Take care,

Rennea

Dude, tell me about it. We're workin' on it.
We just announced a "Booster Pack" at Hollywood. *snort* guess who's idea that was? Tom and I poked each other in the ribs during that announcement... it is too fun seeing the ideas we have come alive. LOL.

Hey in March, I'm going to be on the promotional DVD available on the website... did a video shoot while in Cali. That was stressful. I freaked out just having to wave while walking across the PC stage for TPC and all that because of stage-fright... imagine me with a full on video production crew. UGH!! BARF!!!

Shoulda worn my tutti-frutti hat on the video. That'd have rocked my socks.

 

[Pampered Laura]

You just don't look the same without the tutti-fruti hat.

That reminds me, Tom took about a million pictures while we were in Hollywood. I will come back and post a couple if I'm allowed to... will I be flamed and flogged for posting pictures of myself having fun? LOL. :balloon:

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Probably - but some of us have never let a little thing like that bother us.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Laura~

Glad to see you checking in! We sure do miss your silliness on the boards!
Take care and keep us posted on your move up the "other" ladder! LOL

ETA- now that I am seeing the other posts, I wanted to chime in that I would LOVE to see your pictures of your trip to Cali!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Thanks Kelly I'm one of the first 100 leaders - along with my two Group Leaders on my first line & of course Tom.

Oooh - - I'm so excited for you guys - I just checked out the Leadership forum and it looks like there are some fun products coming out! I'm rooting for you guys to get a pay raise... I think it's been in the rumor mill for a while now, but it was supposed to hit soon. I can't wait to see what they give you!
And PARIS??! Ooooh la la!

Are you in stealth mode like Ann and Janet?? They like to keep us guessing...
Your post just showed up, but your little circle says you are offline...little sneaky one!!

I know I know... I just don't wanna open that big ole can of worms again. LOL. I just figured yall would wanna see us on the "red carpet" and other goofy photos. ha

Too funny, I played with that one day and turned it on and never turned it off!!!!

What does that do anyway?

 

[Pampered Laura]

Are you in stealth mode like Ann and Janet??

Of course... I've been like that ever since D-day. Just didn't want to create drama by anyone seeing my name. I check in on the Paige thread regularly.

I figured it was something like that...or you just like to mess with our heads!! LOL

 

[Pampered Laura]

Well there is that! Muahaha~

 

[baychef]

Hey, Laura!! Great to see you here! Love it when you check in!! Glad to hear that you and Tom are successful in your new venture. Ya gotta love what you are doing to be successful in this world!

Learning any new techniques that the cheffers can use? Don't spill any trade secrets...we don't want you getting into too much trouble! We'll protect you from anyone that tries to mess with our friend!!

I did not go to leadership:cry: but am always excited to hear the new trips and of course, new products!! Your "leadership" sounds fun too!

 

[Pampered Laura]

My best advice for everyone is to love what you sell and what you do. When you truly love it, its not a burden to share it with a genuine and open heart.
If it's a burden for you, you may need to rethink where you are.

And for Directors... "personally train your new consultants before bad habits form". Hello!

This was brought to you by the letter L and W and the number 7.

hee~

 

[Pampered Laura]

alright so no news yet about a raise? Is leadership over yet? Where are all the squealing people that are supposed to be posting 5 minute updates? SHEESH!

 

[cmdtrgd]

No raise. Hey there, Laura!!! I was thinking of you the other day and was going to email you, but then I got distracted by something. You're still in my thoughts and I'd love to do a show for you Glad things are going well for you. We missed you and Tom at Leadership this year!!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Hey Kate!! You know we actually thought about flying out to Cincy to surprise you guys? LOL Honest to goodness, we were looking at tickets and all that. But then... Cincy... in January... cold... Naaaaah. LOL
But the thought was definately there!

 

[pampchefrhondab]

Hey Laura - nice to hear from you. I was wondering how you and Tom were doing. Thank you for keeping us up to date!

I hope you're right about the raise!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

No raise.

A raise is easy enough.

That lever to the side of your chair releases hydraulic pressure and it raises right up.

 

[momoftwins]
