I really don’t feel like writing an entry, so I guess I’ll just type out some words until I feel like I have an entry done.
Today was OK. Got up early and met SexyPants for breakfast before work. We met at this little diner that’s between our two offices (actually very close to mine). We’ve been doing this weekly for about a month now and it’s really a nice little early morning date ritual that we really like.
SP then left for a busy day of meetings at his work, then meetings with a potential school for SOS, then a flight to Cleveland to meet with some guys tomorrow regarding a new job prospect.
Lots going on for both of us with the job prospects!
I had some big meetings too. I have been working on this project that has taken a big turn for the worse due to my buyer not being on board when she took over this area. In other words, she just didn’t want to put the effort in and made it fail, basically.
Sucks for me because it’s kinda MY project. Problem is, if the buyer’s not on board, you’re sunk.
So we met regarding a lot of these products that I’d already developed, and she kept saying, “don’t take it personally,” which I haven’t really at all, but whatev. Sucky meeting.
THEN my boss reminded me again that my job is NOT in jeopardy. OK. Look. What in the hell does it mean when your boss tells you repeatedly that your job is not in jeopardy? It sounds to me like my job IS in jeopardy and that nobody wants to tell me so that I’ll keep the wheel turning by running on the treadmill until I’m not needed anymore.
Projecting? Sure. But I’ve ridden this ride before, remember?
What a suck of an entry.
*EDIT for the fact that I LOVE Tarder the Grumpy Cat:
So let’s look on the other side of this coin. I am having a THIRD interview session on Friday. Yay! And I plan to bring a lot to the table this time. I’m actually looking forward to it, and it’s been an interesting process so far.
It’s a new industry for me, and yet it’s roots are very familiar to me.
Here are the cool things about the potential job:
– It’s a VERY feel-good industry
– Still fashion, but not apparel
– I’d be responsible for a $30 million project annually with huge potential for growth
– I’d have a staff of 3
– Travel to Asia 2X/year (very manageable) and domestic travel probably 4X/year (again, very manageable).
– It’s a small company, which would allow me to work very closely with the whole executive team
– Opportunity to get involved in private equity business
– Potential for even MORE opportunity as this company is poised for major growth through acquisitions as well as top-line.
Sorry for all the business-speak. I have to practice!
OK. Well, I better get going. Sorry for the lame-o stuff. I want to write JUICE, but I’m afraid I don’t have any right now. I will…it’s just going to be a little while.
[Side note to FRS: Get back here and send me some Hawaii hints!! ]
XXOO!
