It’s Thursday. I woke and thought it was Friday, but alas.
Ever since I woke up Monday morning with a hangover, it’s been a grueling week. It’s Sales Meeting week at work, and I have had three days of non-stop meetings and presentations and I am soooooo over these jerk-wad sales people who I’ll have to spend yet another week with at our big trade show later on this month.
Don’t get me wrong, a couple of our sales team members are actually GREAT friends of mine after five years of working here, but there are a couple who I just can’t EVER seem to get along with. Yesterday, one of them even apologized for being a “dick” to me during one of my presentations (his word, not mine!). There are a couple of people who truly are absolute dicks to me and I can’t figure out why. I mean, clearly we don’t have chemistry, but you don’t have to be an asshole to me - especially in front of my peers.
I think that part of this is Boss’s fault because he hasn’t explained to sales how my role has changed, so they don’t really get it. I think that they think I do the same thing that I used to and just don’t have the staff anymore. But my role is different and nobody really knows this. I just designed a line of product and presented it in a way that’s similar to the way I used to present (because that’s my style), but peoples still don’t quite get it.
Hard to explain. And kind of borning for a journal entry…but just know that I’m still LOVING what I do - it’s just tough when people don’t quite understand.
Excited to be done with this sales meeting week, but then it’s the BIG push to showtime (the trade show), which will be from March 20-24 and then…I’ll have to figure out where I want/need this role to go.
Let’s see, what else?
Bachelor Party Marty sent me a few texts over the week asking how my dog was doing (did I tell you she’s been sick? She’s better now.), but I haven’t heard anything sexy back from him. He’s getting ready to go on a several-month road trip mostly on the East Coast, so I’m sure I won’t be hearing from him in a while and that’s fine. I like him around every few months or so.
Speaking of silence, I haven’t heard anything from Sweet D, the awesome Bumble date I had a few weeks ago. He was traveling on the West Coast last week and was getting back on Tuesday and said he wanted to get back in touch after the 27th…but eh. We’ll see. I never hold my breath anymore.
And so I’ve wrangled up another Bumble date for next week. More details on that to follow.
My social life is pathetic and I’m not complaining, but I do need to get out more.
…which is why I’m so happy that Athena is BACK in town! I’m ready to get back into the swing of walking the trail and brunching and going to events. Not that I couldn’t do all that stuff, but I guess since she’s been gone I’ve been consumed with the holidays and then Argentina and then all of this big project stuff at work.
I can’t believe it’s MARCH already! There are still so many beginning-of-the-year things I feel like I still need to do - my 2018 vision board, as an example.
And I’m already on Week 6 of the 6-week Whole Life Challenge. In fact, the challenge ends tomorrow! I’ve had a bit of success (so far I think I’m 7 lbs down, though I haven’t checked this week because of the craziness of it all).
2018 is flying already!
OK. I wish I had more exciting things to tell you, but not a whole lot of excitement has happened since I got laid by the HOTTIE on Sunday. Stay tuned…
xox,
