What is it about the speed my life is going at right now? If I were to describe it, I would say I am caught in a whirlwind.
I have a job. At least through Aug 31st. On Friday I interviewed to spend some hours tutoring people in a consulting firm on PowerPoint to increase their abilities. This morning, I get a call to reschedule for Wed because of one of them being out due to her child having the flu. Half an hour later, she calls back and suggests I come in anyway to meet with the head of the company since he was out on Friday. He hires me on the spot for a job that is stretching my abilities. We have set up a probationary period to see if this combination works out to be reevaluated as we approach the end of Aug. More money than my previous job and something more tailored for my skill set. And it is in Berkeley, 2.5 miles away from my house. Wow!
So, I went from having nothing to do for three days and leaving at O’dark thirty on Thursday for ComicCon to working full time plus (there is a deliverable Wed night) and having little time to get ready for the Con. In some ways, this is good. In others, I am close to stressing out. But I don’t have time to stress out. 
The job so far is pulling out information from a pile of documents and formating it into a spectacular presentation form. PPT and Book formats. He wants someone that can work quickly and do a great number of things. This is probably a growth opportunity for me. Something very different from my stable, underutilized job from the last five years.
I asked the universe for a job. I asked for something to do. I would just like a bit more of an on ramp instead of being thrown in full speed.
I am also dating someone special.
I seem to go from too much time to no time. Life is so rough. [/sarcasm]
Life am good, I am just a bit scared of it and how I am going to manage it.
w00t! *hugs*
You’ll do fine. You always like having a new challenge and feeling useful. I think tutoring people will be this…even if it is full-speed initially.
I envy you guys going to ComicCon.
Have fun.
Woo-hoo! Go Gina! Don’t worry too much about Comic Con. We’re going to have a blast no matter what we bring.
you’ll figure it out… you always do!!!
and YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
*hugs*
To quote: “Yay you!”
Woo-hoo!!! So glad to hear that things are going well for you – even if it does seem like *everything* is happening at once.
Oh, yeah. Be careful what you ask for…ask for strength and you find yourself with a heavier load to carry. Not what you meant, but you get your wish and then find you’re stuck with it. Leastways, that’s the way I find it usually works for me.
Anyhoo, congrats on having life make nice with you for awhile. You certainly deserve it! :>
And heaven forbid you actually ask for patience. *rolls eyes*
Seriously, congratulations on the job. And enjoy the Con!
Congratulations and in the vein of working the night before…when do want to leave for Comicon?

You are going to Comic Con too!!! Woot!
Hey Gina, congrats on everything. I completely forgot to check your LJ since you’ve been gone from your old job. Hope you had a great time at Comic Con, I ended up being unable to have the time off to work it this year.
