Now that I’m starting to get really excited about this promotion, I’m starting to feel really paranoid/superstitious about talking about it like it’s done. Mainly because it’s not done until it’s done and even then I can always be fired or laid-off in this industry – anyone can – but I suppose at least at that point I will have officially had the title!
Hey, I remember this feeling, it feels like three years ago when I didn’t know what the hell I was doing half the time and always went home feeling like I had forgotten something REALLY important even when I hadn’t. It feels like OCD.
And unfortunately, I think it’s going to feel this way a lot longer, since I have a lot more to learn and the stakes are significantly higher. Hopefully I’ll be able to flex my nerd muscles and pick things up quickly!
In other news, I’m getting a k.indle! (And I ordered The China Study for it! Thanks for the tip Lian!)
I have a ridiculous amount of research and primers that I actually need to read for work now but I’m determined to start reading for fun again. But what I will probably end up doing is load it up with work stuff so I don’t have an excuse not to read it anymore…Although I may still make a few.
My life really is this boring.
