Up notes
- Delighted with the pianist I found for the President's Party in January
- May have gotten invited to a cocktail event at the Banker's Club on Saturday
- My Boys (TM) help get me through the day
Down notes
- Following last year's model for a task as I was told granted me a ton of grief (a repeating motif)
- Trying to find a simple file took at least 10 minutes because of someone's inane idea of appropriate way to store things on a computer (a repeating motif)
- Tomorrow I need to be Cincinnati by 7:00 a.m. until about 5:00 p.m. where upon I need to come back to the office to load up my vehicle so I can prep for the breakfast meeting on Thursday which means I need to be a the hotel (local thank the goddesses without husbands) for 6:00 a.m. The breakfast is immediately followed by a committee meeting, then I go back to the office until 5:00 p.m. If I was not a temporary employee I would get no overtime or comp time at this place.
- I have no background in Pagemaker or InDesign yet I need to produce a "wow" invitation to be printed this week for a January 17th event - an event I have no information on except date and place right now.
So I try to come up with schemes that would make it liveable to stay here. Mostly they include working less than 40 hours and dropping an association or two. If I could do that I would be able to lose the feeling of doing a really bang up job followed immediately by the sense of impending doom by all that is overdue somewhere else. It would be nice if I felt confident that I could make that proposal and it would be accepted. Instead I will focusing on getting prepped for the next two days, doing what I can before I leave, then I will focus on getting through until Friday. No promises about next week, sorry.

Trust me, you don't want what I have! You want what I _almost_ have! I still have my crappy day job. Oh dear deity is is terrible... I also employ the 5 minute rule. "self...we're making it our goal to not quit in the next 5 minutes." BUT...I have been building a freelance business as a writer, and all it took was some books from the library to get it all going. You can do it, trust me! go for it!
Maybe I can give you some pointers, and you can teach me how to knit! lol! I have always wanted to learn.
Hang in there!
Did....you just say Deb store? How we have not crossed paths at kooky retail jobs is some universal gaffe. I am so glad you posted and you will be forever in my mind dancing in Maine!
