wow...two posts and I'm out again.
I told you I had to be prodded to write. it took a comment on my myspace page to make me guilty enough to return to my blog. (thanks a LOT, Cris! j/k) It's only fitting, though....most of my writing has been a result of guilt of some sort anyway, so why change now?
Life has been a blur for several months due to work and work alone. It's sad, but I've become a little working drone -- though you wouldn't think it if you saw me... I work for one of the coolest companies I know of. I get to wear whatever I want. I don't have to go in until 10am everyday. I work with bonafide rockstars. I get amazing discounts on shoes. And I refuse to work more than 40-45 hours a week. I'm not your typical work-a-holic. With all that being said, though, I wear more hats than any cubicle junkie you know. I work my butt off doing about 5 things at once. Marketing guru? That's me.....Advertising creative director? That's me, too......Human resources head? Yep, me again......Head of accounts receivable? Check. Manager of all bank accounts? Check, check. Chief cheerleader for the stores & head of "Let's get your sales Up, UP, UP!!" Check, check, check. And on top of all of that, I've been overseeing the buildout of our new store for the past 5 months.
our beautiful, bright and shining new flagship store.........
the store that will redefine our company...............................
the store that I helped create.........................................................
the store that has given me headache, heartache, and a goddamn EYETWITCH for the past 3 months!!
I SO can't wait for it to open next Thursday.
I haven't been able to think outside of work for quite some time. All I can think about is this store. OR.....all i can think about is everything ELSE in my life that I haven't had time to deal with because i've been THINKING ABOUT THIS STORE. Argh.
I'm so over it.
Well, i'm so over it until i see that it was worth it...
When i see that all my hard work -- and heartache, and headache, and GODDAMN EYETWITCHING was worth it, it will all go away I suppose. I just need to see it through to the end. Follow through, Kristen...follow through.
Here's to hoping my reward will be a nice glass of wine, a vacation day and a big fat bonus.
