Wonderful/WTF Wednesday & Randoms

[onedayatatime]

Wonderful- I am feeling optimistic about my job application and am going to have a hard time waiting to find out.

Wonderful - I have filled my calendar for the next week with unexpected things. Dinner with a new friend, a singles only happy hour, a neighborhood pumpkin carving party and reconnecting with a girl I met at a meetup.

Wtf- my mom really upset me last night. Now that I am becoming better aware if my boundaries - I realize how often she crosses them. Trying to stand firm doesn't feel any better than letting her cross them though - I barely slept thinking about it.

Wonderful- my newly launched etsy is doing well and it's a great feeling!
Wonderful- my BFF is the bestest person, we talked for 2 hours last night and I just miss her so much. She lives in another state but I hope to go visit her soon.
Wonderful- sold more stuff taking up space in my garage

WTF- my skin is acting like I'm a teenager and it's pissing me off.
WTF- neighbor across the street added more Halloween decor and I just know he's competing with me! He won last year and I refuse to let him win this year!

WTF - In 15 minutes, I have a "self-evaluation" with the team I work with. They want me to identify my strengths and weaknesses. This is rich considering I know that what they plan on doing use whatever I say against me in another meeting. I don't know what to say. I think this is management style at it's worse. An effective manager would be able to identify my strengths and weaknesses, not rely on me to do it. So even if I wasn't leaving, I would still be annoyed with this.

But yeah, I guess I need to come up with something...honestly though, I am pretty much all strengths in my opinion. lol.

I had a manager ask me to do this - at our company we call it a gaps analysis. I got marked down because I didn't mention in my strengths that "I like to deliver"...which I felt like I shouldn't have to say. I either get my work done or don't, it's not for me to tell them.

Hope it went well!

Wonderful: I don't owe the state of KY money.

Wonderful: My defense date is next week.

Wonderful: My friends and my family. So supportive and sweet.

Wonderful: The birthday candle my sister gave me. I am loving it.

WTF: My brain. I am going to call soon to get some therapist recommendations. I function, but I need some help figuring out the issues that are following me lately.

cam13, just saw your post about Theresa.  I saw her about 7 years ago at a friends house before she was well known.  There were about 8 or 10 of us there. I remember looking at her thinking, yeah ok.  She was amazing--my dad came through and she stated some things that no one knew.  I'd love, love to see her again. She's just so hard to get to now.  Glad you went!

Wonderful-today was another great day. P had a great report from school. I'm so excited about the support my roommate and I are going to give one another! Tonight she had a meeting so I went to pick up her son and kept him until she was done, fed him and P and they played together. She's watching P for me while I have a late client appointment on Friday. It's a good exchange.

ANNNDDD, I closed a $100K account today and another smaller Roth. I got messaged from someone who found me on the CFP board and she set up an appointment for next week. My coworker and I are piring up on some accounts and working on a $1.2 million proposal together. Things are definitely looking up!
