Last night was spent trying to get up the courage to send the email to the person who I wanted to be my mentor for the Power 90. It was really rather scary, but only because there is that fear of rejection. Thankfully the person I asked to be my mentor was more than willing and it was a huge relief. Of course, then I was so mentally exhausted, I totally forgot to write my blog. And tonight, my buddy is coming over and we’re going to have a girl’s night with Marquella, while Xander is going to go with her hubby and have a guy’s night.
This is of course why I’ve decided to write my blog far earlier than normal simply because I don’t want to forget. Sticking to a schedule is so dang hard for me when I’m juggling so many things. Between doing the Power 90 and writing this blog, it’s been really good, trying to get me to be in the habit of doing all the little things that I need to do every day to make all of my goals happen.
Work has been amazing, though I do have to remember to sometimes just shut up. Especially when I really have no idea what’s going on. I just get really excited and want to contribute. I feel really bad, so hopefully I can apologize to my boss before I leave. I really hope that she’s not mad me.
But other than my being a complete idiot sometimes, I really am loving my job. I still can’t believe that I’m getting to be part of such a huge project. I’m also learning tons about not only AMEX and their products, but what it takes to be a small business owner, which I can only see as good because when it comes time for me to act as a producer for my feature film, understanding how the budget works and where all the money is going will really help me.
I also find it really interesting, that I’m really liking the business stuff. I’d never really cared much for it, but approaching it as if I were a small business owner has allowed me to absorb concepts that were really quite foreign to me. I’ve also learned practical ways to do things as opposed to just business theory. There is part of me that is like, I really could run a small business if I really wanted to. Not that I necessarily do, but I know that I could. Heck, when I took a shower the other day, I was thinking of all of the different ways I could start my own business which shows just how much I’ve been immersed in this whole thing.
Of course, an independent film maker does also have to wear a producer’s hat, so I guess I would have my own small business.
Scary thought that.
I’m glad that I’ve been able to disseminate all of the information that I’ve looked at. Thankfully my boss really likes that I’ve been able to learn and apply it, so that’s good.
Okay, so enough rambling about the whole business thing. It’s all good, but there is so much more. Like stupid crushes that seem to pop up when least expected, ie, one of the guys that I work with. I find him rather adorable. Driving home from work yesterday, my brain was full of inappropriate thoughts about him. Yeah, it’s been a while. He’s another young’un, Seriously, I never had any intention of being a cougar, it’s just kind of working out that way.
*Sigh* Such is life.
Now that my quick break from work is done, it’s actually time for me to go home. YAY! It’s gonna be a fun night tonight. I’m so excited. Know what’s even more exciting than that? Seeing my first paycheck in my bank account this morning. Okay, done rambling.
I just can’t believe how awesome life is.
