Git Er Done!
This has got to be one of the most productive weeks that I can remember having in such a long time. I'm feeling like I've got a lot to be proud of this week.
@ Work:
Supervisor was on vacay, so I was in charge. I kept all of our projects moving forward. Met with the manager over integrations about these segments we're doing in Boston (never been exposed to integrations before, so yay). I also worked with my guy at the Trib in Chicago to put together a document for our meeting next week about Chicago & Baltimore promotions. Dealt with the Creative Crisis of the Week: The 8/21 resizing fiasco. Got funding in place for the Kitchens/Appliances ads. Made a zillion calls about missing invoices. Fussed about Feria de la Familia, but got our space reserved at the lower rate. My manager was SO hands-off and just let me handle it. And I think I did v. well, so I hope that my payoff from working so hard is coming.
In my personal life:
Did a TON of cooking this week. I *finally* set doctor's appointments, yall! I've been putting it off for months, but I see the dentist on Wednesday and the internist next Monday. I also finally got through to the ophthalmologist's optical area...and got fitted for contacts today. As long as everything looks okay when I go back a week from today, they'll let me go back to wearing them full-time if I want. Yay! Tomorrow, I'm going to look at new frames for the glasses. I did some very important networking on Wednesday, where I got a tip on some reading I should be doing to help the creative juices (more on that later). I somehow ended up being the point-person for the Young Professional volunteers at the Gala tomorrow night. AND I finished up setting the networking event for September for the Alumni.
*takes a deep breath*
SO...I have a lot to get done this weekend as well. MUST clean out my car. Find shoes (and a curling iron) for tomorrow night. Gotta finish my application for the Exec Council for Young Professionals (wish me luck, I'm going for it big here). Need to get some cleaning done around the casa since I'm roommie-and-dog free until late next week. Still have some writing to do - I haven't updated DoinGoodinMyHood in a while. Lots of tv to catch up on. I really want to catch up with at least one of my friends this weekend.
I'm hoping I can keep up the momentum on getting stuff done/accomplished. It feels good. But I think tonight, Tica's just gonna chill. And yes, I just talked about myself in the third person.
