I am so busy at work that I hit that paralysed wall: what do I do next out of the 7000000000 things I need to do? That’s a good signal for a minor break and here I am. I am working from home today slightly against my better judgment, but it was snowing (still is) and I was running late and I just said “ha, no meetings, ok.”
The work is almost all good stuff though. Forgive me if this is too cryptic but I am trying to share without being either unprofessional or outing myself… I have people I actually admire from afar asking to work for me; I am meeting with a high up person in a big-ish publisher about a book idea that is not mine but it means making the contact; I have my site launching Real Soon Now. Of course once it launches I sort of suspect that some of the gloss will go off in both directions (it’s so easy to be a star when all your meetings are conceptual!) but my god. It’s exciting. And downright fun. The company I work for is a little bit Dilbertesque at times but it is still FUN. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time.
My umbrella brand was in the news for being a success which was good but a little high profile for me. Especially since now it may be that people are looking for us to do something wrong.
I am going to pause here and be grateful, very very grateful, for some people that have given me chances and mentored me. Because I wouldn’t be here without that. Not sure where I’d be but today, for a brief hour at least, I feel like… I am in the right place in my work.
The bad part is people are poaching staff and I’ve lost people I planned around, so grr.
The other bad part is that I also have a lot of drudgery tasks and sometimes? I am downright lazy on them. And this has resulted in this little rush, but it’s ok.
Hope everyone is having a good Friday.
