So, today was the first day of work for me in 3 months. Know what? I don't miss work. I miss fun! I miss the rush I got at my old job selling software. Seriously, what's wrong with me?
Here's the thing, these people are very nice, very polite, decently organized, and professional....and I know in my heart I have no desire to ever be a Project Manager again. This will be it for me. Once this contract ends, I'm out. No more PM stuff for me. It's too damn dry. There's no fire in it, no passion. And I feel like my place in the mix is just wasted. I bring certain things to the table that I know I'm going to have to temper, like my humor, that will just drag me down if I do this for the rest of the year. That's why I'm hoping it's a 3-4 month thing, complete the project, get my money, and in the meantime find something else somewhere else that I can love.
No matter what, today was still great, on a lot of levels. I started my job today, and they were ready! This never happens-my email was set up, I had a computer set up, and supplies. I know, you'd think this shouldn't be that big of a deal, but think about some of your past jobs and how many times this stuff was ready to go the moment you walked through the door.
Now, my boy got a job today...actually he's my roommate. He got laid off the day before I did, and now he gets a job the same day I start mine. Great stuff. And I have a friend out in DC who should be getting an offer when she wakes up after having, in her words, 'a crazy interview'.
I'm exhausted, not so much from working, but from reading. I'm reading product and process manuals, not exactly the most riveting stuff, but it will help figure out what is going on and where to go from there. I'm happy to not be in my PJ's every day until noon. There, I said it. Who knew people get up at 6? That's just insanity....
Some other cool things for you....Enter your Pops, if he is as cool as mine, in the Canadian Club Ad contest. My brother is scanning pictures tomorrow, we're entering him in posthumously.
I agree, if a woman ever says any of these things to me, two words.....I'm Gone!!!
Okay, this is awesome. If after watching this you're not in a better mood, then I'm worried about you:
Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent 2009 Episode 1 - Saturday 11th April
Second to last, because it makes me laugh hysterically....at about the 1:46 mark:
The Big Bang Theory - My Apologies
Currently listening to...Keane-Is It Any Wonder? (my answer to that is a resounding "nope, it really isn't").
I leave you with this...nothing ventured, nothing gained.
And Let's Go Bruins, mop up the freakin' ice with Les Habitants tomorrow night!
