Good Saturday morning!
Cold outside, so I’m cuddled in bed with the dog under the covers with me and we’re waiting on sunrise to take the quickest walk and then my beloved Saturday morning Target run.
Did I tell you how insane my work week was? Well, it was. I forgot to tell you that on Tuesday morning I was calmly doing my normal Tuesday things and happened to look at my calendar at some point and had to look and re-look and zoom in and read again and again…
I had a LINE REVIEW that day with a big retailer and didn’t even realize it!!
There was one very important element of this presentation that wasn’t even STARTED. Of course, it was the responsibility of the person who’s supposed to be my support. Literally every time I ask her to do even the simplest of tasks, she pushes back.
Bottom line, I ended up having to do it on the fly with the help of the sales manager. The ONLY good thing about my support not doing anything for me is that I’m learning how to do it all myself. It’s not a great situation because it takes away from other stuff I need to be doing, but I’m learning skills for my next gig. I keep reminding myself that this is temporary.
Still, UGGGH. The prezo was touch and go for a while, but it went off okay, even though there was one point during the zoom call where my screen just went totally black for NO reason at all. Luckily, by that point I was already done with my presentation part and we were talking about other things. I had to pretend that I could still see everything on the screen.
Oh! Then the surprise video I had to create.
Then the surprise price increases by vendors.
This was literally how my week went.
And yes, Mercury is in retrograde.
[Before you ask about my support person and if she is actually doing ANY work, yes, she is. But because her area is run by my Old Boss and he is an EVP, everything he asks her to do takes precedence over anything I need her to do. So all of MY stuff gets lower priority. Since our company owners are merging two companies, there are many, many things that are brand new that need to be done immediately and my Old Boss is in charge of a lot of those things. So this is why I get shortchanged every stinking time]
No wonder I fell asleep early and slept in a little bit this morning.
Anyway, all of that is now in the past. I can learn from it and move on.
Today the weather is supposed to be absolute shit, so it’s a perfect day for taking down all of my Christmas decor. Another boring task, except for the fact that I love organizing this place. I don’t know WHY I’ve gotten this way, but there’s nothing like looking at a clean, organized space. I’ve turned into one of those people who displays their laundry detergent in big glass candy jars.
I suppose it’s because I don’t GO anywhere?
If you’ve gotten this far through this entry, note that I finally took a peek back into Bumble and have been messaging an interesting sounding guy. He’s the former CMO of several giant restaurant chains that you would absolutely know and now sits on boards of some super cool businesses. He’s interested in getting a dog so we’ve been texting about what kind of dog he should get. I’d like to meet this guy face-to-face, so stay tuned to see if that actually ever happens!
OK. Better get up and get this dream of a day started!
