I looked at my work calendar on the way to work to discover that I have ZERO meetings on my agenda today!! How does that even happen? I know. Importance taken away. Even though my schedule/workload is very full, it’s NOT a good sign to not have a presence in meetings. I went from at least 5 meetings a day to one or two now. I shouldn’t complain, but I’m looking for a happy medium, and I don’t think it’s gonna happen until my line takes off…or I’m out of here.
Still, with this new assignment (“new” being relative - my title changed about 8 months ago and I’ve spent nearly all of it working on the Thing That I Created - keep forgetting what I’m calling it!), I feel like it should have a bit more of a presence. I’m sending my team reports, information and tools that they can use to make their jobs easier on a daily basis. I’m leading and facilitating brainstorms, meetings and task forces. Golden Boy is the only team member to react to them and I think it’s because Boss is making him. I have to say it’s possible…VERY possible that Boss wants to make my position valuable to the company. I’m sure I wouldn’t be here if he didn’t want to make it work - at least temporarily, you know? Because I don’t have a staff anymore - I could easily just go away if it weren’t for the Thing That I Created.
My horoscope says that August is an important one for my career. I’m supposed to either receive big kudos for something I’ve been working on or big news about a new position. Perhaps a move is not out of the question after all?
Anyway. Just my brain working through things. It’s actually nice to have a moment to think all of this through. It’s true that when I had 6, 7, 8 meetings a day my brain was absolutely fried. You’re probably thinking, “she’s never happy!” but I AM happy right now. I just know that I need to not get comfortable in this role - or any role for that matter. Because things always change.
I didn’t have a 4:30am workout this morning and WOW, did it feel like a luxury to sleep in until 6am! I’m going to work out early tomorrow and Saturday so that I can party like a rockstar on Saturday with Lovely and not have to worry about getting a workout in on Sunday. Then I’ll start my weekly routine as follows: MWF - 4:30am, Sat - 7:15am, Sun - 8:20am. That’s 5 days a week, folks. For the last 2 months I’ve been working out 4 days a week and I’m hoping that upping it to 5 will make another difference. And seriously, I sooooo look forward to the days off. They really do feel wonderful and much needed.
OK. It’s nearly lunchtime and dog looks like she wants to go for a walk. Wish I had exciting things to share, but not at the moment.
Suppose I need to figure out some things while on my walk:
- What to wear on Saturday night and brunch on Sunday?
- What to get my dog for her birthday on Sunday?
- What to start thinking about packing for my trip in September - must be a tiny capsule wardrobe…I’m carrying on per my usual MO!
xox,
