…and now it’s Monday and somehow I feel a little bit better than yesterday, even though:
-
My apartment situation kind of sucks now. The dufases at the apartment building that’s situated on the top of the hotel LEASED the space that they were “saving” for me. I put the saving part in quotes because I was clearly dealing with the person who had the least amount of power in this situation and she LET the damn thing happen. I hadn’t put any $$$ down, but she told me that she’d contact me when the unit was ready to lease. I walked over on Saturday to deal with her face-to-face, and she very matter-of-factly told me that she didn’t know why that happened and basically that it’s my problem, not theirs. See, the thing is, downtown apartments are fully occupied. It’s a renters market, and I heard on a radio show that more than 200 people are moving to this city per day! I’m sort of backed into a corner. I want to move, but I also wanted to save a little money. Clearly that’s not going to happen (the money saving part). I also feel lazy in that I don’t feel like putting all the effort into moving if it’s not a spectacular place. I’m feeling caught in the middle of something at the moment.

Sales meetings at work this week. Getting ready for our BIG national sales meeting that happens twice a year before the big shows. This one starts on Wednesday afternoon and goes through Friday morning. I have a ton of work to prep and finalize, but I’ve gotten my presentation mostly finished today. Hooray. That’s a good thing – normally I’m working until the last minute. In fact, I was thinking I was going to have to stay late at the office tonight, but it appears I won’t have to now. Anyway, this meeting can be brutal in that the sales guys (and to be very blunt, I don’t really like sales guys) rip the marketers/product developers (my role) to shreds sometimes. This is what I’m prepping for…a shredding. It’s not very motivating when you’re preparing to be slaughtered. But I will also look at this as a time to shine and prep for what’s to come – potentially with a new gig. I will do my best, and I will look good while doing it, knowing that I’m going to be interviewing for something new and different soon. More on that later, I’m sure.

Not a peep from any potential love interests, even though tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Nope. Nothing. But I’ve had my pity party for the quarter (ha), and now I will pick my self-esteem off the floor and dust it off again and keep moving. Not sure where I’ll move…figuratively and literally, ha. But I do know that it’s never worth it to look back, except to see how far I’ve come. I suppose I could think of ways to list out how much better I am at this point in my life, but I do feel like I’m sort of marching in place and have been for about a year now. It was last Valentine’s Day when my last fauxlationship (thanks, CN!) came to a screeching halt – actually, it was February 20th, but who’s counting? But I suppose the good news is that I’m not in any kind of hookup situation that would keep me from being open to something if it were to come along. I’m 100% free and clear! I’m also ready, open and willing…
So, all in all, not a horrible Monday. Things could sure be worse. Better go, I’m sure Boss will be calling to discuss my presentation any second now…
xox,
GS
