I will be traveling next week to Boston, for my company's annual Credo Week. I think I mentioned before that it's 3 days of patting ourselves on the back? I think? Recognizing what we've done throughout the year, new colleagues, new products, etc. Exciting stuff that will take me away from my normal day-to-day work. Which is fun and terrifying. 3 days of not being on top of my projects (and really, no one is since we're all at this offsite).
But I was told to bring a larger suitcase for potential swag we might get.
I'm looking forward to catching up with folks without a true business or project agenda. We will have cocktail hour and food. We are also have a big Hibachi dinner one of the nights. This come just two weeks after my department met as a group in Boston. I feel so lucky and grateful for this job and team mates. I remember being so scared to leave what I knew to work for such a large enterprise.
Not only do I love the work I do, but the team is amazing, which makes everything better.
A few weeks after I return from Boston for Credo Week, I will be traveling again to Orlando to attend a gala.
My largest client is Wyndham Destinations, which is the largest timeshare and vacation ownership companies in the nation, with over 230 locations.
Because they are located in Orlando and have a location IN Disney Springs, it makes for some fun travel.
I've been down to Orlando now maybe 3 times and have plans to go 2 more times before the end of the year. I have a big quarterly business review meeting and then I was invited to attend a gala that they (and we) are sponsoring.
It's for Give The Kids The World which is an organization that helps sick children go on vacation at no cost to them or their families.
It's an organization that is near and dear to our clients and they asked if we wanted to attend. Being that they are a "whale" merchant (one of the top 5 in terms of $$) we wanted to do more than just buy a couple of tickets and attend.
The Bank decided to be a sponsor and with that, we get a day of golfing (not me, thank god) and attendence to the Gala. (Yes, please!)
So I get to get dressed up, go to an event in Florida, in October. When it won't be 100 degrees.
And get this - since the gala is on a Friday evening, I was asked if I could stay until Saturday....and then my boss was like "do you want go to go Harry Potter world at Disney" OMG YESSSSSS. So we're staying an extra night so we have all day Saturday to play.
And, AND! It's the International Food and Wine event at Epcot. COME ONNNNN. I have a Disney planning meeting this Friday during lunch with my boss and another colleague (whom I enjoy thoroughly and am SO GLAD she's coming - she's heading up another Vacation brand we just signed on).
#workperks for sure.
