Regrouping, restarting, re-energizing....it all seems to be a theme with me. Yesterday I started a new 90-day intensive planner book, which will help me and which is why I am recommitting to writing every day.
So much has happened in the last month that has pulled me off track, but I keep climbing back on for the ride. I thought I would be living in Atlanta by now working for the High Museum of Art running their wine auction. However, since it has been a month since my most recent interview with no word from anyone, I have to assume I didn't get the job and move on . I am incredibly disappointed because I pulled out all the stops: flew myself down there twice, had former colleagues and mangers proactively contact the hiring manager on my behalf, and was prompt, friendly and professional with my follow up. Still nothing.
I have since taken on a temporary gig with OgilvyAction/American Express, dropping in on Amex merchants to review benefit materials and refresh their signage. It's not an awful job, as it gets me out of the house meeting people, which I like a lot. The down side is everyone automatically assumes I am trying to sell them something and it's a lot of footwork--literally walking from place to place in the summer heat. But as with everything, I am trying to stay positive and see this as an opportunity to really get to know my community, while building up a cache of blog fodder.
In the meantime, I am still looking for permanent full time employment, preferably in the arts doing arts administration and/or event planning. So...yanno....if you hear of anything out there for me.....
