Nashville - Good hotels are hard to find

In my hotel last night I noticed a blank spot where it looked like a towel had previously been hung.   I reached in to turn on the shower and found...yuck...someone elses used soap.  OK, that totally grossed me out.  So much for my new Nashville hotel.  I am not having a lot of luck with this area. 

Tonight I will be in the Marriott.  Here I have concierge club access and I have checked the shower.  It is clean.  The room smells a little funny, kind of like there was a smoker and they tried to cover the smell with air freshener.  I can live with that. 

I have meetings starting at 8am and going through dinner tomorrow.  These meetings are a pretty big deal because they are with our investors and new CEO and COO.  My new bosses.   I hope I sleep well here and wake refreshed.  I want to be on my game. 

With the new owners/leaders come several changes.  The first of which is I will no longer be what is called C-Suite.  (C level Sr. Management such as CEO, COO, CFO and CCO)  I will now be a VP answering to C-Suites.  This doesn't bother me as the company has grown tremendously since I began 11 years ago (7 clients to 2000 clients)  and having an attorney above me to provide guidance is a big plus.  I know my job well and I can work with anyone.  I am not nervous, just curious. 

So another journey begins.  This is not the traveling kind but it is definitely a new chapter.  I am excited to begin.  Our new home base will no longer be Nashville so I will be traveling to another city for corporate stimulation.  It is about the same distance for me so not a big change.  I am incredibly grateful to work for a company that respects the fact that I won't relocate.  They allow me to work from my home office as long as I am willing to travel at their expense.

Let the journey begin!
