G’morning. It’s Friday morning and I’m so not into work today. I just dropped Martini off at doggy daycare and I’m going to spend the rest of the day doing the following:
-
Take care of 2 projects that need to tend to from a work standpoint. I think this will take me 2-3 hours, max.
-
Get my workout in.
-
Finish packing for my weeklong trip out of town. This trip will consist of (a) going to see mom and dad tomorrow and bringing them some goodies, (b) spending tomorrow night and Sunday with Best Bud - she just asked me if I want to do a dance jam workout class with her on Sunday morning! (c ) working from a hotel room on Monday, (d) Vegas for the trade show from Tuesday through Friday, (e) Friday night with Marce and her dog, Missy, (f) Saturday meeting with my financial advisor, (g) drive home on Saturday evening. Whew! I”m exhausted thinking about all of this! It’s been a good long while since I’ve had such a busy week.
-
Organize my kitchen/dining areas that are filled with work stuff right now. I love coming home to a clean and organized space, so I need to take care of this!
I am spending my days now with urgency as if I’m unemployed. I have lined up a call with a headhunter on Monday, and I’ve started to network with my contacts as well as filling out online applications as I see them pop up. It’s just such a shame that I have to think about these kinds of things as my friends and peers are getting into retirement mode. I clearly went into the wrong business. My dad and I have been talking about that a lot lately in our phone calls because my cousin, who is a year older than me, just retired. The medical industry is where it’s at, people.
I need ten more years of GOOD, stable employment. And by stable, I mean a company that has decent benefits. No more of these goddamn startups and small biz companies that don’t have 401Ks or decent medical insurance. I’ll take a small salary cut for the bennies.
But right now I’m bracing for a week of Head Cat’s bullshit. I can do this. I’ve had to handle worse. My grueling weeks on Chinese business trips have prepared me for things like this. I also have to just know that this is temporary and that I’ve already started the momentum to get me to a better place.
I hope to bring you some good, juicy, gossipy stuff next week as Head Cat is bringing his mistress, Lesbo Kitty, on this trip! Have I already told you that Head Cat busted up his marriage to get into a relationship with a lesbian? And she busted up her own marriage in the process? Pretty sure I’ve written that before. But it always amazes me to think about this story.
But Lesbo Kitty is insufferable. She’s squeezing her way into the business. And she’s going to be on this trip. So I get to deal with the two of them together. Oy. I’ve got to put on my kitty-proof shield for this one. I can do this.
What else is going on? I can’t really think of anything and the morning is already speeding by, so I’m going to go for now.
OH WAIT! One more thing: today is 08/08 - The Lion’s Gate Portal!! The best manifestation day of the year! It also would have been my 17th wedding anniversary had I married my first ex-fiance (ex-Mr. Snap…I can’t remember if that’s what I called him back then??). We were going to get married on 08/08/08. Anyone remember that? But I bet you a million dollars we would never have made it seventeen years, so…never mind. HAHA. Bottom line, MANIFEST THE GOOD SHIT TODAY, PEOPLE!!
More soon!
xox,
GS
