Need some relaxation

WOO HOO! New product in from #BirchboxMan today. I got an English Laundry 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I LOVED their cologne that I received in the Birchbox subscription box last month, so I have high expectations for this wash. 

This came on a great day since I needed a little bit of good news. On Tuesday, Feb 4, I celebrated my six year anniversary with my employer Rackspace. It's a neat company to work for as it's a place where you're rewarded for actually taking care of customers and not just stinging them along. A place where customer service is still an action and not a marketing ploy. We've gone through some major hurdles and now we're in competition with the likes of Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. 

Our CEO Lanham Napier guided us through thick and then. He defines charismatic. He is so motivating and influential to listen to, and I've told myself I'd follow Rackspace to the ends of the earth as long as he was at the healm. But today on our quarterly earnings call, he surprised us with his retirement announcement. To say the least, it was a shitty day. 

So now I'll relax with a new body wash (that I can already tell you smells fantastic since I spilled some on my iPad as I was writing this post), enjoy a good Belgian beer, and I'll post a review on the English Laundry in about a week or two.
