Focus
April 18th, 2008 by Kateastrophe
I find myself working from home today, which is great. At the same time I find myself fighting the nasty cold that has been going around my office, which is not so great. There is joy in working in pajamas (Cute ones! With popcorn pants and a top that says “Hot & Fresh!”) yet not as much joy working in pajamas whilst blowing your nose and coughing.
I don’t want to take a sick day because I have SO much to try to accomplish. I’m being given some amazing opportunities at work IF I step up to the challenge and get a little more organized. Part of my new responsibilities? Might just include blogging. Granted it’s not the cool kind of blogging where I write what’s going on in my life and make a bazillion dollars and stay home all day. But YAY! Blogging for work! Something I’m good at that NO ONE else at my office seems to be able to do! So I’ve spent the last few days researching corporate blogging. And putting together a Blog Plan. It’s pretty cool. And it was my idea. So it’s my new work baby.
To go along with it I have to put together a bunch of other plans . . . and you might have gathered that unless it’s for a party or trip type event, myself and organized planning don’t always go together. So it’s a challenge, but I think I’m up to it. And it could lead me to very cool places. So I must focus. (”Focus?” My brain says. What the hell is that?)
I guess it’s good to have work craziness to focus on, because then I won’t be so sad that my bestest buddy Rhonda is moving away from me. She was integral in getting me DOWN to Arizona and now she’s leaving. I am sad. She is my chick-flick, pedicure, doing all things girly buddy. I mean Matt is great and all, but it’s going to be hard to convince him to see a movie like Enchanted on opening night.
You know who else is moving? My other bestest friend Brillig. Granted she lives far away from me now, away in Utah land, but at least she lived where I have family and many excuses to visit all the time. Now she will live in Denver and it will be harder to see her. That is sad too.
Lots of changes right now. Sigh. I hates changes. But YAY for corporate blogging spearheaded by ME! And yay for new and exciting possible promotion opportunities! And YAY for Friday!

Changes are always a bit stressful even if they are good changes! Congrats on all the cool work stuff! Blogging for cash sounds like fun, but ya know eventually it would feel like work I’m guessing!
I’m so ready to be out of this office today - it’s the first truly springy beautiful weekend here in upstate NY and I’m thrilled - want to go enjoy it.

Oooo, blogging for work–cool concept, hope your plan works out and is accepted!
My DH thinks “change” is a four-letter word big time. He doesn’t allow for any change to be considered “good”–just no such animal in his book. And according to all the counselling books, it’s true, good or bad, change creates stress, and stress, well, your head cold is probably your body saying it thinks change is a four-letter word too.
Hope you feel tons better soon–and other than socks and underwear, try not to change anything else in your life for a while.

Oh man, I just got over being sick - I so don’t envy you, I’m sorry you feel like nast. Congrats on the blogging deal!!! You’ll be so good at it, I have no doubt that you’ll be able to step up to the plate with no problem. Did Brillig actually find a house and everything? It will be hard to see her go. I never see her anyway because I’m lame like that, but I will be missing her! And I miss you, where have you been?

Congrats on the new (work) baby! Amazing how much easier it is to organize and plan for something fun! But I’m SURE you’ll rise to the occasion, and soon we’ll be reading about a new promotion
And yeah, it sucks your buddies moved away, but maybe visiting them in their new locales can be an excuse to see new places!
