Transitions: Chapter 3 -- Like Moths to Light
The weather in Salt Lake is an odd mix of gloomy and magical. Today on my way into work I almost had to pull over just to take in the way the clouds seemed to explode from the snowcapped mountain tops. Honestly, I never appreciated this until I moved back here.
However, torn feelings about the silly girl at work are a bit frustrating. I'm trying to play it chill, but I can't seem to meter how I feel about it. I seem to flip back and forth between discouraged and apprehensive and it's rather annoying. Life is much easier when I just ignore girls all together, why do they have to be so soft and smell so nice. :( ;)
Work is fucking awesome though. I'm slowly getting more details about my new position. Today I created a bunch of reports I will use to manage these various companies that will soon be under my control. I've caught word of a salary increase, although I'm sure it will largely still be incentive based. It's kind of funny, because in this transition I now control my current salary as the budget of one of the companies I run the marketing for. teeeheeee. It kinda gives me a semi. ^_^
I'm going to be getting in contact with a number of people that I met at AD:TECH in NYC tomorrow and getting some things rolling on a few of the affiliate programs. I've also been trying to plan my future travel, and I came across an event in Chicago next month that could be a very worthy investment for me to attend. I just got done writing the proposal and tomorrow I'll pitch it.
The living situation seems to be going well, we both mainly just keep to ourselves, but chit-chat a bit daily. Chores seem to be taken care of and the animals are doing well, so that is good. I'm staying on top of eating healthy, although I've been drinking a lot more. I gotta get back in tune with my fitness goals a bit, but there is time enough for that I suppose.
In other news, I just picked up a new book. Yesterday I was talking w/ Trie and she mentioned a book she was reading that was really inspiring. I really don't have much spiritual influence these days and for some reason I felt drawn to go get it. I went on my lunch break and bought A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I plowed through 2 chapters last night and it's already given me a huge perspective shift. It's a very popular book, but I don't get recommended books that often so it's refreshing to be in the loop. ;)
