Today at the staff meeting, I listened to other people talk about the pearls they gathered at the regional meetings that I was not invited to. Ugh. I did miss my chance to network, but the actual information? Not so interesting; all about young professionals and career building and selective career development (this means, you have to be nominated and be less than 30). And all of this stuff sounds so interesting until you realize you have to do it on your own time.
Learned that corporate is auditing the office in June, and this time, they're auditing certain people as yet unidentified, rather than projects, and not telling us until 3 days beforehand so no one will have the chance to fix everything at the last minute. TG I only fell into managing one project. And because it was in trouble when I took it over, I spent much time making sure all the paperwork etc was caught up. At least if I'm selected I'll be OK.
K had a job interview, not in our geographic area of interest, but back in Europe. Waiting for the next step, i.e., will they come up with his required minimum $? Will wait and see, but the general feeling is, probably not.
It looks as though another few of my bundled things might actually be constructed. How amazing. That's what's so weird about what I do. It all happens so far in advance of things, I rarely get a chance to see the actual thing on the ground, so to speak. It all looks nice on paper but so often these things evaporate or self-destruct.
Company stock went up majorly in the past 12 months. Not enough to balance out our losses in other arenas, but still better than a stick in your eye, nicht wahr?
Tomorrow is another day..... and it starts with a conference call at 8 a.m. so must actually be awake and thinking at that time, a struggle for sure. See you later!
