Quick break at work and then I’m back at it!
I spent a good portion of the end of the day yesterday and this morning creating a really badass timeline for the big project I have been working on all year. It’s full of colors and iconography and reads easily and kind of like a cool website or something. I researched templates and icons and pulled bits from here and there and I love how it turned out! Good news is I can use it both HERE at my current job to show Boss what a badass I am as well as use it in my portfolio to shop my badass self around!
At one point this morning, Best Bud stopped by my office and I showed her the document and she was all, HOW COOL is that timeline!! Where did you find the format?
I told her that I spent hours making it and I was really proud.
And then she said, “Send it to me! I want to use it for some of my projects!”
And I was kind of like, eff you, bitch (not really, but kind of)! Because, damn! I spent so much prime time working on it and I was kind of like…shit! Make your own.
But you know I will send it to her because sure as I show it to my team, they will want to use something similar as well. It’s just that good!
Also, yesterday I got upset at the new product manager who replaced Negative C. OH! I guess I haven’t talked about her yet. So…she’s a young-ish, very pretty and very smart woman. I really like her, but I can tell she’s going to get a bit more aggressive the more she learns. It’s totally understandable.
Problem is, she was trying to do a work-around yesterday and actually stepped on my toes and did something that made me look bad to another department. I had to go talk to her about it. She was clueless, but I was upset for a good portion of the day. It hurt my credibility in a time when I need all of the kudos and credibility I can get. Sigh.
So yeah, my next HUGE presentation is due in a couple of weeks. Boss will be back on Monday from a two week hiatus, and the shit is going to hit the fan next week. I have to crush it over the next few weeks. I suppose I just get myself back into high-power mode as I was before the big trade show. I’ve been there before. I’ll be there again. No biggie.
Did the 4:30am workout again this morning. This time I pushed myself harder and damn, it was HARD! At Orangetheory, they use this heart monitor thingie that shows your progress on a screen – if you’re working at a certain level. Now. I have an extremely low resting heart rate (in the low 50s) and I believe the system is based on a normal to high resting heart rate, so it’s way hard for me to get up into the Orange Zone where you’re supposed to be in this class (hence the name). I am going to have to do some more research on how to understand this whole system.
All is know is, it was fucking hard today – though I feel amazing.
Okay, time to walk the dog and have a quick lunch and get back at it!
Ciao for now, lovers!
xox,
