…of the world.
Hi from Shanghai, China. I am stressed beyond belief, so I thought I’d tap out an entry instead of shooting off more pissed off emails to my colleagues and my boss.
Lord. My customer comes over to China twice a year and asks us to do these big production reviews. They are not easy to pull off and we’re always working until the last second to get them done. It is a result of several weeks of prepping in the US, several different manufacturers here in China, organizing and pulling off small miracles every single time. But the choreography finally comes together at the last second.
This time, my customer has asked us to MOVE UP our meeting two whole days! You guys, that’s like asking me to move a mountain from the US to China! I mean, fuck it. What the hell am I going to do?
I guess I will take it one step at a time. I’m trying to manage expectations. I’m nervous, but what else can I do?
At least I’m far, far away from everything going on at home. Not that anything was particularly bad, it’s just good to get the hell totally away to gain some perspective. It’s amazing to think that I can get as far away as possible on this planet. I can be a whole different person here!
And I get to see Best Bud! She just called me a little while ago. We’re meeting up tonight (it’s already tomorrow morning, for those of you in the Americas), and I’ll see her for dinner and drinks tonight. This part will be fun! And we will get to work together for several days, so I’m really looking forward to that!
Other than that, not much new. I’ve got to update you on the Bil and Bulldog stories!
-
BIL - we went out two Fridays ago, and it was fun but weird. I asked him about his girlfriend (which, I guess she got the wrong idea?). Bottom line, he slowed it waaaay down and we agreed to keep in touch and potentially get to know each other better. I’m not holding my breath, but you never know. I just want to make sure that he’s not being a total DOG.
-
The Bulldog - yes, of course we’ve talked a couple of times - even saw each other. EVEN did each other once or twice before I left, but it’s been a definite weird situation. I do still have these feelings for him and he still feels like the timing is off. There’s NOTHING that I can do about it and I’ve accepted it.
So. It’s good to bee on the other side. I feel like I’m completely free to explore other possibilities, be they for love or for other things (such as new work options, new living situations…new, new, NEW).
Better go. I have a meeting in 15 mintues.
Love to alllllll,
GS
