Kick-Ass!
Kind of a weird day -- had to go in early to get a jump on a project that was due today, and I was dreading it a little. Mostly because I wasn't sure what the project entailed and knew I had very little time to do it. Spent my whole morning and part of the afternoon working on this thing, stressing a little because it wasn't going very smoothly, and at some point it just came together. All of it. Everyone that I needed to involve in getting it done did what I needed them to do, and it was great. It's nice when things work out.
I also got to send out my newsletter today, to the whole firm. I was so happy with the way it turned out, and I got a lot of positive feedback on it. Instant gratification! One of the highlights of my day was getting an e-mail from my HR Director passing on kudos from the Executive Director of the firm (all these directors, I know). He passed on his own kudos when she pointed out that I had created it. It was a good day.
THEN, I got home and I happened to check my work e-mail (don't ask why, sometimes I'm twisted like that) and the partner I work for had written this fantastic message to the HR Director and the Executive Director raving about my work on the project we did today! He went above and beyond in sending that message and I just felt like, even though I feel like I could do more than I do now, people are actually starting to recognize there are better uses for my time than the same ol' same ol' that my resume is made up of. I've also gotten better at availing myself of opportunities, but unless you own the business I think you still have to rely on other people to help you get where you want to go. Maybe nothing more will come of it than what I've seen today -- but I really feel like there's been some kind of shift recently that indicates otherwise. We'll see.
In the mean time, today really was a good day. And I'm beat! Time for bed. 9:14?! I know. But I slept for shit last night, so it's time to turn in. Hopefully I'll think of something more interesting to talk about tomorrow. And hopefully more good things will happen!
