Hello Hump Day!
I’ve been trying to tap this out all day but I’ve had many, many meetings since first thing in the morning. I should be doing a couple of things to finish off my workday, but I want to take a quick break to clear my head and then get on with it.
So. Regarding the new gig - it’s confusing to a lot of people, including me. I mean, yes, it’s a dream job to me. It is all about utilizing my strengths, but when it comes right down to how it was announced, it looked almost like a demotion in the wording. Or a lateral move at the very least - which is exactly what it was.
Regardless…not exactly looking like a bold move. Boss has moved his Mini-Me into place and I’m definitely NOT the leader of this group. Good news is that I don’t WANT to be the leader of this group, but the bad news is that it kind of leaves me hanging high and dry if something should happen. In other words, if we lose any more programs/projects, I will be looked at as an easy target to go.
Additional good news is that we are looking at an exciting licensing opportunity and I would get to lead all of the design and development. That’s exciting!! I hope it all works out.
Meanwhile, nothing from the other company. In fact, I asked my friend (who works at the OC) if she could go to lunch on Friday and she said no and that it was too crazy there! What does that even mean?? I think there’s something funky going on. I wonder if I can somehow get it out of her in a different way besides lunch? Does the fact that things are crazy mean that the position is gone?
And I’m home now. Have been home for a while. Drinking coffee because I have been so exhausted in the evenings and I need to get my internal clock set correctly - especially after the super late night on Sunday.
Steve McQueen is on a business trip, thankfully. I say that only half-jokingly. You guys, I’ve decided that he’s a bad influence on me when we’re together. I think the dude really likes getting me drunk! I have thought about this more and more. The last three times we’ve gotten together we ended up drinking too much and each time we went further and further until we did the deed.
Sly guy, that Steve McQueen. He may seem unassuming, but he has moves and things up his sleeve and I fell for it, for sure.
Again, I have no regrets - I’m just starting to see things for what they really are. I did it and I’m glad and I still dig the guy 100%…I still want to know a whole bunch more about him! I want to really get to know what’s in that mind of his (now that I know what’s in those jeans).
But I also want to watch my alcohol intake when I’m with him. I want to watch it very closely.
Today we texted a bit and I even told him that he was a bad influence on me (jokingly, of course).
His answer back: “So bad - soooo good!”
I agree. I sure do. But what else???
Anyway. Better go walk the dog before I call it a day. Tomorrow’s another long one, folks.
xox,
GS
