If there is a strange defining moment in my stupid career - it somehow happenned today. Even if it was minor. All the work for the past 3 weeks (and 6 months) have truely paid off. To preface this, I was not looking for gratitude, or any compensation for what happenned today. I had a day that proved something, mostly to myself.
I presented a project to some top brass that went extremely well, albeit - I was sufficently stressed and nervous about it. But it went INCREDIBLY well. I have a tendency to overstress and read into too many things. But all the babysitting of details paid off. Today I "shown". I won't go too far to pat myself on the back, but the presentation I gave today was stellar. I feel like I have finally honed my skills to do this - and move further into my career. Proof is in the pudding. When I hear "Impressive", my ears perk.
Suffice today was a grand one. The entire morning and afternoon was tied up in the presentation and followup. Later I heard accollades from my bosses, which is like pulling eye teeth out of them. "If momma is not happy, no one is happy". Well, "momma" was extremely happy. Felt good to get praise for doing a good job.
I slummed the last few hours of work tying up other business before I went to the gym and spent almost an hour and a half on the spinner bike on a victory ride. Felt great. I feel healthy, safe, secure, and full of angst & unconditional love.
Ran a few errands and came home to finish cleaning my silly pad for some friends to be here for the weekend, clean, vacuum, laundry, prepping for a dinner tomorrow night. I watched the movie "The Interpreter" with Nicole Kidman (swoons out of control) and Sean Penn - great film. Spoke volumes less about the disapora of politics and assasination, but more about human loneliness & metaphors of how to grieve. And of course, Nicole Kidman's eyes - she is fucking dreamy :)
Will spend the rest of this late evening cleaning, folding laundry and preparing for my friends to arrive tomorrow - for a fun weekend full of shopping, psychoalysisbabble over many glasses of Merlot and pasta. I just wanna relax - it's been a blur of a stressful week. Closure is good.
Life is fucking fantastic!
