AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Ok. I feel better. Not. I've realized that this blog isn't really about happy things. It is about things that really make me tick. I guess that is a form of therapy? Maybe.
Let's start with the bad and then I'll move on to the semi-good.
If you spit all this game, and say you're "the shit" (in my generation's lingo), then you better have something to back it up. Otherwise, you are just all talk. I've learned you can't be all talk in the real world, especially not Corporate America if you want to survive. I've been tasked to handle this project with a newbie, and she's really giving me a run for my money. It's one of those things where if I don't double and triple check my work AND hers, my butt is on the line since my name is attached to the project. And even though we've split up responsibilities and duties, at the end of the day, a team should look out for one another, not just yourself. So I'm stuck in the office for 12+ hours of the day, doing my work AND fixing hers, and it's just really starting to take a toll.
Another though, never lend money to people who are shady. That's a given right?! And realize, that most people will just use you when they need you, and toss you aside when they don't. Feeling the love yet???
Oh, and did I mention, I am working "mandatory" 10 hour days? Lovely. Just lovely.
Okay. The good news. The office of the CEO called and he wants to be involved with our special project/network we're launch. SO AWESOME! The COO is also asking the same thing. Wonderful! We had an awesome meeting with 2 officers, and a couple of directors - which has really put me on the radar of these folks. WOWEE! Now, we just have to get through Thursday...
Lesson learned - never think you are the best thing since sliced bread. You're in for a real surprise...
