Everything at work is moving 100 mph - so many exciting but challenging things happening for me:
- The upcoming annual CTI exhibition is something I've been working on quite a bit with DTS and Quell. It's been a bit difficult trying to find my place with Quell, but I'm in the process of sorting these things out with Dean before the new BusDev VP starts in June.
- Got some exciting projects going on I've taken on in initiating and improving on new tools and resources to educate employees on processes.
- Continuing to prepare for ongoing and upcoming transitions in preparation for whatever may happen when I leave and pass my responsibilities on
On a personal note:
- Working out some new things going on with my significant other
- Spending a bit more time on self improvement by cooking and cleaning more, exercising more now that the weather has been nicer, etc. etc.
- Working on some smaller projects while it is quite and peaceful around home life
I can't believe how much has happened in the last year or so. It's said that the most physical change a human will ever undergo happens in the first year of infancy, but I think this past year has been the most change in life's events more than I have ever experienced in that time frame.

Practicing forgiveness in business
I read about an interview recently with Carolyn Kepcher from The Apprentice (she was Donald Trump's right hand woman). The interview was conducted not too long after Trump fired her from the Trump Organization.
In one of the questions, she was asked if she had an hard feelings about it, and she had a very respectful answer. She didn't comment too much but said enough to let the smart readers know what she was thinking. The last quote she made on the page was "I try to practice forgiveness in business".
Interesting thought, one I need to consider more often. I take my work and my job very seriously because both are an extremely important part of my life, but I guess that is why I am so taken back and affected by any people-type issues I have to deal with in the workplace.

If there's one thing I hate
It's having to deal with something or someone terrible just to get on with the show.

I can't escape myself
I've been dealing with a few things lately that are new to me:
- Feeling like the overprotective, jealous, controlling girlfriend (and feeling guilty for it)
- Feeling inefficient and walked all over at work (and feeling like I don't know what to do about it)
- Feeling pathetically lonely at home with only my doggy to talk to
About a week ago, I woke up from sleeping next to B feeling completely panicked about something from awhile ago. I got up to get some water and fell back asleep thinking of every possible way I could fix the problem... a year after it has happened. It's weird what happens to one's brain during sleep.
