Random Updates

It’s been a week.

– I am ecstatic to report that I successfully briefed someone else’s slides with less than 12 hours of notice (10:30pm notification that colleague was stuck in Texas to 8am meeting, and I did sleep). It’s a minor milestone in building my marketing, technology breadth and adaptation skills, and went off much better than I could have expected. Necessity is the mother of BSing.

– Any open time in my schedule can and will be taken up by emergencies. I knew I had slack (PM term for “nothing on the critical path”) on Thursday and Friday this week, but also knew I would want to help at the church dinner and probably need to fill in on a proposal we’re shipping Friday. Sure enough, it feels like all waking hours (and some non-waking ones) are now double-booked until at least 6pm Friday, with about 2 days of work to do this weekend.

– The “I can’t wait until…” keeps getting pushed off. I think I initially said I can’t wait until the end of April when life will return to normal. Now it’s May 11. I hope it doesn’t slip again.

– I miss my friends. I was supposed to see the gals a week ago Sunday and had to miss a birthday party because of a business trip. I haven’t managed to squeeze in lunch with Ab this week. The Sheldons are in crazy pack and move mode, and I’m not able to help (I’m barely able to help Dan on the work side of things). I haven’t watched Snakes on a Plane or Heroes with Dan and Nate. Right now WILG is my small port in the storm – I had a great time having quick dinner and meeting with the corp last night, and am looking forward to the Alumni Dinner on Sunday. Did I mention I can’t wait until May 11?
