Honestly, I can’t believe this was a Monday. I enjoyed all the things I attempted today. I feel as though I am being supported and encouraged in this new direction. I really do believe the people I am working for and with appreciate what I bring to the table and are open to thinking outside the box. To interact with humans who respect each other, encourage each other and work as a team is lovely. The ability to brainstorm together to find solutions that will work for all is a gift. And I even have a new office space to work out of that will be locked up and give me the ability to leave things secured and safe with 24/7 access. The Ground Floor is pretty cool with Kevo locks and dimmable overheads in each office.
Had a funny moment today when I heard Maura O’Connell coming out of my iPod but out of the corner of my eye saw Hank Williams. As that was one of my friend Matt’s biggest influences, I figure he was just approving of my choices from beyond.
I came home to make dinner for the Campbell family. It was nice to have my other family over for the first time. As I was prepping I thought about the job I had applied for and that I should probably give a courtesy email that I was not available currently when my phone rang and it was one of the women who interviewed me. Seems with all the unknowns still they will likely not be filling it until the Fall and didn’t want to leave me hanging. I did keep my hat in the ring as I will know better what my capacity is by then. A .6 job with pension and benefits still sounds enticing but really it is a plan B. I believe I will be successful at this Sole-Proprietor business.
Dinner was fun, the guys played crib as Zoë played in the pool and Diane and I caught up on the day. It seems odd not to be working with her anymore but for the organization her husband manages as well as where she works. It does help me that she is back having been off the same length of ttime as I was working from home due to a lack of childcare.
I sorted and delivered another order of Tupperware, watered all my plants, did the dishes and sat down to watch my 90 Day Fiancé shows with the small AC running. It was really, really hot in here. It feels good to look forward to work tomorrow. One of the projects I am working on is especially challenging and that is what I thrive on. It is even more important as this is the first time in 12 years I have a full 23 days in July to get my ‘real work’ done. I miss my ViMf peeps though.
I did not miss wearing a bra, especially on a hot day.
