Well, I was stressed last night when I got home from work because I’d taken a ½ day PTO to get medical stuff done yesterday and had SO much left to do by the end of the day.
One of the extra special things I needed to do was to write a script for a video I had to create as a favor to the sales team. It needed to be 30 seconds long and I had about 10 minutes of stuff to talk about!
So I took my notes home and sat down last night to whittle about 5 pages of stuff down to 30 seconds. And do you know what? It was SO much fun to do. I really enjoyed the process of writing a super quick script. - culling the story down to the bottom line, the most important aspects of each item and then the whole program.
And then today I got dressed like an actual human businesswoman (I wore SPANX under a dress for the first time in nearly two years!), came into the office, set my product up in a room and made a selfie video on my iphone and sent it in to the sales team. BOOM.
Easy, right?
Well, when I looked at myself on that video, I was pretty horrified that I didn’t look like the me of yesteryear (even a couple of years ago). I think cancer and the treatment (surgery, chemo) has really aged me, and I KNOW it’s made me much lumpier, craggier and weaker than I’m happy about.
It’s weird too, because I post videos on social media quite regularly and they don’t seem that bad. Maybe it’s because it’s in an office setting? And actually, I shot the video in the product development workroom where the lighting is harsh, harsh, harrrrsh. Still, I don’t know exactly what it is, but it just feels like I need to step up my game even more.
I wish my therapist was also a personal trainer and we could kill two birds with one stone during therapy. How cool would that be…”okay, just five more reps…tell me about your childhood and let’s BURN it all up!”
I am planning on doing the fasting mimicking program again next month. I really liked how I felt when I was on it, and I think it’s smart to take advantage of the semi-lockdowns that are happening right now to do things like this instead of indulging in comfort foods and booze at home, ya know?
And speaking of booze, it wasn’t really a plan, but I’m participating in Dry January just because I haven’t had any alcohol since New Year’s Eve. I feel pretty great about that part even though it was the fast that really kicked that into gear.
I keep forgetting that we are only really into the second week of the year! And I spent that first week on the program so of COURSE I haven’t really had any alcohol, ha! It’s only the 13th. We’re not even halfway through the month.
Whelp. It’s the end of the workday and I have a couple of things to button up before I go. I was thinking I was going to have to stay late, but no. I’ve decided to just finish out what I’ve done today and close up shop.
Oh! Remember the BIG, BIG dream job opportunity that would require me to move across the country? Well, I’ve already been informed that the VP of the area has already decided to move forward with other candidates, so that takes care of that.
And I bet the other company I’ve interviewed with (via video with the SVP Marketing and SVP Sales) are interviewing people who are more interested in the job - hahah!
So that still leaves my target company - the local company that I really, really want to work for. Need to think about my next steps…
Anyway, it’s quitting time (in more ways than one).
Laters!
