Okay. After a week of being out of it, it’s time to get back on the horse and get moving.
I had a successful morning routine (workout, coffee, dressed and ready, etc.), already had a video call with China, and now I’m back at my desk to wheel and deal up another victorious Monday!
(I wrote the above opener yesterday, and now it’s Tuesday)
Guten morgen. Happy Tuesday.
Yesterday flew by. I spent the morning prepping for my meeting with Head Cat. It always throws me because I am stressing out now for my meetings with him since I’ve been badmouthed by that fucking consultant. Head Cat never likes anything, and I mean anything (diva mentality), so to know that someone has been trashing me behind my back adds fuel to the fire when it comes to him.
I promise you that I’m not exaggerating when it comes to Head Cat. Since I’ve been with the company, 1.5 years, the man has gone through SEVEN executive assistants and TWO personal assistants (that I know of) because he is such a dick and can’t keep staff since his requests are so out of bounds.
And then we have our fractional COO, who is kinda like another boss, since she was hired to keep the company moving operationally, but she is so fractional that we get about 0.0325% of her attention. I follow her IG and she’s been in NYC doing TV interviews and getting her face plastered on Times Square billboards.
[Okay, so I was curious to see how that’s done since I’ve seen so many people getting billboard famous lately, so I looked it up. Did you know that you can put yourself on a billboard (or multiple billboards) in Times Square for 24 hours (15 seconds per hour) starting at $150?! I didn’t know this. Haha! I honestly thought it was for doing something brilliant and getting credit for it, but no…it’s simple advertising that anyone can do for not much $$$! ]
Anyway, she’s going to be interviewed for some news thing (which she probably paid for), and all that’s fine, but she can’t be bothered to read simple emails from me. Those go ignored. And today I have to work around her “interview schedule” for our regularly scheduled meeting.
I told her yesterday that it’s fine, but today I’m a little bothered by it since I don’t feel like having a mystery time and a meeting where she’s either in a taxi or sitting at the airport not paying attention to me and just checking off a bullet point to say she did it.
Grrr.
Subject change.
Had my second week of Pickleball League last night and that was fun! I sucked a little bit less, and I have a CRUSH now, so that’s exciting!
My crush is someone on another team. He’s super freaking cute: tall, dark (I think he’s of Indian ethnicity), salt & pepper head of thick, curly hair and beard, and smiling and laughing constantly with deep dimples that you can make out under the light beard.
Of course, I know nothing about him, but he came up to my team when we were talking with another team before our games started and I was just…struck.
That happens SO RARELY now that I’ve taken note of it. He and I did not talk directly, but we sort of all talked and laughed as a big group, and he did come to the fence while I was playing. I know he was watching in general, but the bottom line is, I’ve taken note and now I can strategically place myself in his proximity at our next match.
Unfortunately, it will have to wait two weeks because next Monday is a holiday (Memorial Day, can you believe?), so we won’t meet again for a while.
But that will give me time for a strategy, ha!
I have to check the schedule to see when we play these guys (his team is all dudes, which, fun!).
It’s so silly to have a crush, but it’s nice to know I can still crush at 57, post-menopause, hah!
Okay, gotta roll for now. I delayed my workout because I was tired from last night. Oh yeah, Pickleball league hours run from 7:00-11:00pm and my bedtime is around 8:30, so you can imagine my sleep on Monday nights! Last night our games started at 8:00 so I was wiped last night and am struggling a tiny bit this morning.
Decided to sip my coffee and write an entry before my morning workout, but I have another call with China soon, so gotta roll!!
xox,
GS
