Hello there! I didn’t write an entry from work today. Good for me, I guess. I don’t need to be writing from work anyway.
Here is the work news as of today:
1. I have scored an interview with the manufacturing gig. This could be cool. I am basically going to interview these MFers. Heh. I mean, I do have the upper hand already having a job that I really like – even if it is slightly stale as of right now…no reason that I can’t get everything back on track. Anyway. Interview next Thursday. We’ve already had some salary discussion, and while I was afraid I might scare them away with my honest-to-goodness salary, there was not even a flinch from the headhunter. In fact, he told me that I could grab a nice increase out of this opportunity. WOW. Maybe I should have been more aggressive? We’ll see. It’s just nice to have this option. Could be a very cool opportunity.
2. Spoke with the HR person at [High-End Fashion Company], and it was a VERY nice conversation. However, there are no jobs open right now, and my current salary is high for them. Of course it is, everyone wants to work for this company! Still, while she told me that my salary is high, she wouldn’t rule me out for upcoming opportunity. Regardless of pay baloney, there are tons of really cool things happening with this company. They are woking on cool collaborations and expansions globally. So things could change very quickly. I’m very glad we spoke and I got to tell her how I’d love to be a part of the new expansions, etc.
3. Current work situation is OK, but I worry that the longer I work with Krab Kakes the worse my reputation becomes. She and I have been getting along quite nicely, and that’s kind of what worries me. She is SCARY, and most people don’t want to work with her. They leave her alone! On the one hand, it’s nice to be left alone. On the other, you get passed up from promotions and new opportunity and you are lumped in with the Krabbies! Bottom line is, something MUST change, and I’m pretty sure it has to start with me (see points 1 and 2 above).
I have now decided that I’m going to try the following exercise: every time I start worrying about what life will be like between SexyPants and me when SOS is released, I’m going to focus the attention back on how I can improve MYSELF. It does me NO good to worry to the point of obsession. It is not something that I can do anything about except move around it and work with what I have.
It’s going to be fine, whichever way it takes us. I am not freaked out by it. It just IS.
Kitty Tan Man has taken to pooping on the floor and that is quite disturbing. Yes, he’s an old guy and he’s losing weight by the day. All I can ask is that he live the rest of his days pain-free, but if that involves just pooping wherever he wants, I just don’t know if I can take it. How do I get my old kitty back into his box? I also have to put 7-8 puppy pee pads around his box because even when he’s standing in his box, he doesn’t crouch down to pee anymore. It is like he is wildly pissing and pooping wherever. I might as well not even have a friggin’ litter box in here. WTF.
Still, my apartment is gorgeous and it is a joy to come home to an uncluttered place (regardless of the smell). I move forward a few steps with buying a new piece here or there, but for the most part I want to keep this place very simple. I like it that way.
I keep the clutter in the storage space. Maybe I should just sell the contents to one of those TV shows? That’s AFTER I removed my gorgeous antique dining farmer’s table and my diaries from high school and college (whew).
OK. I’m getting sleepy. I’ll try to write more tomorrow. Whee.
Love, love, and more!
