A quick break at work, but not really. I’m super stressed today because a HUGE customer meeting popped up tomorrow and I’m totally not prepared yet. I have to give a big presentation about MY LINE THAT I CREATED as well as offer this customer some exclusive options that I am having to pull together really quickly.
All of this and I am leaving for New York on Thursday morning, so I’ll need to have another big chunk of work done in addition before I leave the office on Wednesday. And then I’ll only be in the office one day next week as I have an all-day studio photography shoot of the LINE THAT I CREATED for a whole day next Tuesday and then Wednesday I leave for the supplier summit of the big licensor for whom I CREATED THIS LINE. I will be speaking for 2 ½ days about the LINE THAT I CREATED. I will be representing the company solo. Neither Boss nor Golden Boy are attending.
Do you guys see anything glaring up there?! How can Boss not give me any credit for any of this? I literally have dedicated my life to this LINE THAT I CREATED!
It’s laughable at this point.
I fiddled around on LinkedIn last night and thought I was going to lose it. I couldn’t get a new photo to load to save my life. I spent what seemed like hours on trying to get a damn profile photo in there that I liked and it seemed like it was the wrong format or size or something. I had to go look up the limits and all that jazz and then my internet was being super slow (some kind of net neutrality issue already?) and I just got so damn frustrated. I tried using my phone to upload the photo but had the same issue. I was thinking maybe it was my damn profile and that LinkedIn just didn’t like me.
In fact, it still is saying I don’t have a photo on my phone, so I checked on my work computer and there she is…all of my toothy grin and red hair showing up as if nothing ever happened last night. It’s as if I am mocking myself!
All of that to say I’ve finally started applying for jobs that I’m seeing online and I desperately need to network.
I did find out that a former work colleague is in New York right now and we’ve made a dinner date for Thursday night (my original plan was to dine solo, but this will be so much better as it’s her last evening in town on her work trip and we can blow it out a bit), so I’m excited about that. She’s a friend and colleague from my fashion days and I am really looking forward to catching up with her on my trip. I will see if she can provide any tips or hot leads.
I can’t wait to get out of this office!
In other exciting New York news, I’ve started packing for this weekend and have discovered that I can fit into ALL my skinny clothes again! This means that I will be wearing my prized vintage black lace overlay sheath dress to my friend’s birthday party! It’s the dress that my dad gave my mom when they were dating in the early 60s. I display this dress on a dress form in my living room - I love it that much.
Okay, gotta roll. This day is flying by and there’s so much to do!
xox,
