Thursday Things...

[SwimDeep]

Tell me all the things!


My things are pretty boring...

Thing 1: Tomorrow is Friday!

Thing 2: I'm stressed out about work (what else is new?). I've been taking lead on meetings with sales people - looking at knowledge management platforms for our business. It's an interesting exchange of information. How much do I tell you about what we're struggling with so you can successfully sell me your product? Obviously, I don't want to give away everything, and I don't want to look desperate. But I want you to be able to focus on the features that will be most helpful to us.

I have a meeting today with the rep for our current platform. I'm curious to see how hard they work to keep our business.


All of this *waves hands in the air* has me stress eating and stress vaping...I've been outside of my comfort zone with a job before. I just feel like I'm treading water right now, trying to learn how to swim.

Okay -- now you go

I got my garage door fixed: new springs, pulleys and ball bearings and oh my Lord, it is now so quiet! ao happy.

Had a good class today, so yay!

I watched the Banff Film Festival last night - sooooo good. I never regret going to that - even if it was weird b/c I met the kids and STBX (It's one of our "traditions" as a family - more than Easter and Thanksgiving). Is it bad after all the women-empowered films and focus that I am sad that I have 3 boys, and I won't have strong women/girl connections to the next generations? It's weird that it took films about mothers/daughters and women climbers (who mostly climb with men climbing partners) to make me sad about having boys. Deep Thursday thoughts.

Tomorrow I skip work and go to a parade with the kids - it's a Vigilante Parade that was started to get high school kids in the two schools to stop beating each other up in the 1970s... now it's mostly historical about our city, but we are a weird city.

1. This is my last full week at my current job! It's exciting and scary and all the things. I only have 9 full days here after today, though I might pop in a few other times to get stuff done or attend a meeting.

2. I discovered a kitten cam for our local humane society and it's the best thing. I could hang with kittens all day.

3. My foot swelled again yesterday. It hasn't gone all the way back down since this started, but this was the worst it's been since last Monday. I'm sick of it at this point.l, but I know that won't make it go away.
