well, as some may or may not know...i am getting back into my ad-ver-tahy-zing career. yay! as i am itching to get back to the grind & complaining of those creatives ;) hehe j/k. i miss the energy, innovation & challenges of my advtg career world.
i do have challenges [i.e., getting the kiddos to listen to me! wait, that sounds like the creatives again...j/k], energy [i.e., running from one activity to the next (wait, sounds like mtg after mtg) or better yet, making sure i drink my green tea or red bull to keep MY energy going] & innovation [new ways to capture their attention & calm them down long enough so they'll stop screaming] with kiddos don't get me wrong; however, its just not the same.
so this week has consisted of coordinating even MORE interviews. i think i've had about 10 or so total to-date. they've either been in-person or via phone. phone ones can be a bit tricky, but i have grown to like them. i feel you can really tell a lot about someone & their personality by the way they can interact with you on the phone. their excitement in their voice or even their attention span by the way they comment on your response(s). anywho, you're probably thinking..."wow, you suck @ interviewing if you've had 10 and still no job offer?!" ya, may seem as though; however, a few of those i have chose to not move fwd with. either i didn't want to move to LA, San Fran or down the ladder. the goal is to move up the ladder in my book. you can't be a VP by moving down
the ladder. a handful of the interviews have been with the same agency...just diff peeps within checking me out. & a couple others are still on going. wanna bring me back next week & what-not. welp, that's part of my crazy week.the other part, kiddos! i have been on kid-duty 24/7 [read as, the kid's rents are outta town so i am a "single mom" for three whole days & nights]. just me & two kids...wow, i give HUGE props to all you single moms out there. you're THE BOMB! i do luv the kiddos though. they crack my sh*t up. are so darn smart & keep me on my toes. we pooled it yesterday, heading to a 4-year-old's bday party tonight & then maybe a little movie matinee tomorrow. so we're keeping busy! the rents are do home saturday night :)
now another part of my crazy week, finding a place to live! its pretty much a full time job. hunting down the perfect condo, apt or house in the perfect area you want with the perfect price tag... [is there such a thing as perfect though? hmmm]
its now 10 a.m. PST. the kiddos are @ camp so i besta make myself productive this a.m. while i can...before i have to go & pick them up @ nooner. maybe i'll take a shower? maybe i'll organize my e-mails or just read? we'll see, but i do know i am going to enjoy this peace & quit with a little ruffles & lace...
laters,
nb
