This workweek has been exhausting. I have been coming home from work, making a small dinner, then workout and/or dog walk, then bed. Last night I went to bed at 8PM even though I could have either gone to a bootcamp class OR an awesome-sounding fashion party.
-
I’m sorry I missed the fashion party. I was invited by this guy who is very well known in the local fashion scene and I’d asked him to invite me to things when he could. So he did. And I blew it off because I couldn’t get my shit together enough to look presentable and just go. It’s not even like I could use weather as an excuse because the weather has been great the past couple of days.

Still woke up exhausted. I think it’s because I got more than 8 hours of sleep. Too much. 7 hours is my sweet spot.

Checked in on the job situation this morning with the EVP. Says he’s still in the process of interviewing people outside the company…though he was trying to get someone on the inside. This tells me that I’m def. not quite qualified (I know this, but I could still do this job with some extra effort, and I know I could do it well), and he knows it, but at least he’s being super nice to me about the whole thing. I do believe that if I was absolutely NOT the person for this gig that he’d be upfront with me and tell me no. I also think that it’s fair that he’s looking for someone more qualified for the position. But I ALSO think that the position should be at LEAST a director or even a VP level in order to get someone better than what can be provided at a Sr. Manager level (me). Anyway, the wait continues.

Oh wow. I literally just walked out of the business leaders’ meeting. Just found out that the company is going up for sale immediately…and in a GOOD way. Financially, the company is in a good place and is looking for growth (we are owned by a mid-tier PE firm). This is potentially very exciting news and yet also a little nerve-wracking as a sale will likely happen in the next few months and big changes can happen after that - as in, my job could go away after the sale. I just want to hang in there to make sure my little nest egg is safe and secure. I honestly have NO idea how much it will be worth, and won’t know until the sale goes through, but trust, this is exciting news on this Friday the 13th!

The above could explain why the new position has not been discussed with me further. It could be that the position may not even come to fruition. Regardless, movement ahead.

Wow. It feels like the earth just shifted a little bit!

Oh! I’m supposed to have a Tinder date tonight. Made plans with this dude earlier in the week and he told me he’d be in touch regarding Friday evening. I just checked Tinder and he hasn’t written yet, so I’m not holding my breath completely. Just would be nice to have someone follow through with a date. We’ll see…
-
I feel like there’s a lot more, but it’s lunchtime and I want to go take a walk and clear my head. More to follow…
xox,
