Worked away this morning and had a lovely lunch as a treat from Viola. We both love Family Thai and had a nice visit followed by an introduction to a guy in the building looking for an admin assistant. She had a good long interview and I hope it goes well. She has the right personality type for that type of job. It would also be nice to have her in the same workspace.
As I was buckled down getting things done in the afternoon, a man from Sidekick Stickers arrived to remove the logo of the previous renter from my office door and replace it with mine. I will admit I got a little choked up when it was done. He finished up and then said, ‘there, you are official, welcome to the ground floor’ and it felt so good, I am another step closer to calling my own shots. I am still currently contracting to my previous firm and my preference will be to accomplish independence in the future. I do not wish to disappoint the clients I have through them at this time so I am not pulling the pin yet.
At the end of the day Danika messaged if she and Emmy could bring pizza and play in the pool. It was lovely to come home to them and share my celebration. Emmy loves olives, unlike her father.
While they were here I realized Matt, my garbage guy, had actually come into my yard to get my garbage as I had forgotten it was Wednesday and didn’t put it out. I texted him to say thank you and that’s when I learned he had also taken half of my tree trimmings. So nice! And that is why I do his books even if it keeps me late, relationship. The difference between a job and a career.
Next I FaceTimed with Diane and we both wished I was on Vancouver Island with them. I attended our Strata board meeting and then went to check on Diane’s flowers. Looks like her stepson Shea has been watering as they look great. Stopped at the liquor store for a little Air Conditioned shopping and then came home to set myself up in a foot peel treatment while drinking chocolate wine, eating real cheesies and watching BIG brother Allstars!
A delightful addition to the evening was a messenger chat with a talented (& hot) bass player in Texas. I miss seeing him at MusicFest and it was good to hear from him.
