WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE YOU GUYS
W H A T A T I M E
If you would have told me (or fandom) in 2008 that in 2015 we would be getting shit like this?? That J2 work together for 14 hour days 9 months out of the year and then MOVED NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER??? IN AUSTIN???? AND THEIR FAMILIES CONSTANTLY HANG OUT AND DO STUPID SHIT LIKE TOUGH MUDDER TOGETHER????????? I would have said no it cannot possibly be, because I will dissolve into unicorn rainbow vomit out of sheer joy.
WELL GUESS WHAT 2008!ME. IT'S TRUE. IT'S ALL TRUE. DISSOLVE AWAY.
I'm not sure what we did to deserve this but I am truly, truly grateful. As enablelove said on twitter, I can't wait for the next Austin RPS update. <3__________<3
Let's talk about work and how I kind of got a promotion? Kind of but not really. A sideways promotion. I was an account service rep for two account managers, when suddenly in the same week, we learn that one of my account managers, as well as our company's talent coordinator, were deciding to leave the company. The following week, I learn that due to all of this, the head of sales and the director of operations thought I was the best person suited for the talent coordinator position. So I had about 6 days of training and was then put right into the fire. Cool, because they thought that even with only 3 months under my belt at the company, they thought me competant enough to be the person at the crux of our sales team and production team. Cool, because I have my own office for the first time ever. However, the stress is... pretty stressful. I actually woke up early on the morning of my birthday to puke my guts out because of nerves, I guess (I thought at the time it had something to do with my new birth control pills.) My heart is almost always constantly racing at work because I have SO MUCH TO DO and it's all SO DETAILED and if I get one thing wrong, it screws up everything. It's kind of terrifying. Plus I have many, many people breathing down my neck who need things done nownownow, so... yeah. Not so sure how I feel about it right now. I'm hoping that as time goes on, I'll be able to catch my breath and find a good rhythm. It sucks, because I REALLY enjoyed my old position. Now I just feel completely overwhelemed. Gah.
GOOD NEWS THO I'm finally FINALLY going on vacation/on a roadtrip in about 2 weeks! Myself and 2 friends are flying to LA then driving to Sequoia National Park --> Yosemite ---> San Francisco --> driving all the way down Big Sur/Highway 1 --> LA. All in 6 days. How is that humanly possible??? you ask. Lots of coffee and a strict itinerary. Cannot. Wait.
