Nothing really big happened on Thanksgiving weekend which is a good thing. It's really nice when we are able to go and do some exploring together but easy weekends are good, too. Now that we are starting to get settled in the house we find ourselves doing shopping for it. There is a really big Ace Hardware store in the Curve and Patric seems to find himself there at least once a week. In his defense I will say that this store has EVERYTHING!!! It is definitely a good find.
On Tuesday I went back into KLCC so I could go to the AAM board meeting. It was my first time to be at one so, again, it was cool to be in on the behind the scenes stuff. There were several things on the agenda and my vote was scheduled for close to the end of the meeting...what??? Luckily for me the meeting didn't stay on target and there was a lot of jumping around. I was officially voted in as the next Treasure of the American Association of Malaysia. I take full responsibility for the position as of January.
Pretty much immediately after being voted in I was told that I need to write an article about myself - an introductory article for the magazine that AAM puts out monthly. It will be put in the February issue and the theme of that issue will be turning over a new leaf. Hmmm...this will be interesting. Any volunteers to write it for me? =)
I was also tasked with doing a market analysis for pay to our General Manager. I've done these before but they were always for me - to make sure I was asking for the right amount of money, or was being offered a market value, for different jobs I would apply for in the past. I know how to look this type of information up online back home. The catch here is that I'm not back home anymore and I've never worked for a charitable organization. Luckily, one of the ladies that I hang out with is the Community Service Director and is, therefore, familiar with different charity organizations located here. The bummer is that I will have to actually make calls...no online searching for this one.
By the time it was all said and done I felt like someone that had been given homework on the first day of school. I'm sure it will all work out...hopefully...keep your fingers crossed for me!
The rest of that week was uneventful. I find myself making a lot of trips to malls. Most of them you have already heard about and there's nothing new at them. I will say that there are a lot of Christmas scenes being put on display which makes me very happy! I'm just waiting to see Santa...I LOVE SANTA!!!!!
Hopefully I won't have too many slow weeks like this one. The year is coming to a close though so things are winding down for both of the associations that host the different events. A lot of expats will be going home, where ever that may be, for Christmas so things will be slow until the new year. I'm sure I will find stuff to keep myself busy...
See you next post!!
