Mercy, mercy ME! It has been a heck of a whirlwind since my last post. Soooo....let's get right to it. You are now reading the eccentric (and slightly disjointed) thoughts of a recently promoted professional employee which basically means....nothing. Especially since I have yet to have an office or computer. I do, however, have benefits, so yippee for me! (Argh!!! Job aches and pains to come later, I promise)
Along with this new profession that includes coordinating a newly formed business of sorts, meeting awesome (and not so awesome) people, traveling across the country, and creating and implementing policies, I also advise an active chapter of a nationally-recognized sorority.
Not a big deal really. Who doesn't mind working two full-time jobs and only getting paid for one?! (Okay, if you are not catching it, this is what is known as smug sarcasm. Embrace it. More is coming from me in later posts). Working an 8-5 and meeting with them from 5-10 (sometimes later) is, at best, an interesting and challenging feat. What to do? What to do? The answer is simple: both. I have no choice right now, kiddies. They need me and I need a career path. I am working on finding and adjusting the balance levels of my life, but I can't help but be thankful that I have no real relationship or kids (to the dismay of some family members) to squeeze into this equation of madness and sleep deprivation. I fear I may not have a man at all but will have a child that will be alarmingly self-sustaining due to necessity ("Excuse me, Ms. Truth, but you seem to have forgotten to pick your child up from school...AGAIN. This is, afterall, the 12th time this month.") Soooo....pray for me...I'm tired just thinking about it.
Until next time...
A verbal and visual cigarette break from my hectic life and schedule. We all take vacations to get away from work and home, but I sometimes need to get away from the "me" I've become. This is my outlet. Enjoy!
