High/Low 6.16.05
Hola.
Como esta? Well it's Thursday... thankfully.. I still feel a bit reserved to talk much.. I think i have so much going on... so much swimming around in my head that it's been a bit challenging to focus... Just trying to keep going.. not to over analyze much..(not an easy feat for this kerilyn girl)
Yesterday I picked up my friend Derek, and we went downtown to this really cool lounge/bar in DC for my Alumni Gathering from Savannah College of Art and Design. Side note: Derek got laid off yesterday (again, 2 times in Interior Design since he's been here... a YEAR! No, I'm not kidding.. this industry is SOO dog eat dog!!!) I didn't really know anyone personally per say.. but I recognized a few people.. chatted with a few people who remembered me (why is that? Am I that recognizable? This happens to me a lot..) It was an ok time.. they had these really good plaintain french fries.. which we're quite tasty.. I think I"d like to go back there for a few drinks.. hang out sometime..
I also went to a meeting with one of the owners of the company i happen to work for.. for a new project I was put on.. I was told this is a huge and overwhelming project (again.. my boss likes to scare me a bit) but in the meeting I completely understood and wasn't overwhelmed by the scope. I have NO Idea what's going to happen with me.. am I going to take another job... or stay and work on this 'big project".. who knows.. i feel a change in the air.. so it's just a matter of finding out what the air says to me...
I have an interview tonite.. at 6:30.. in Reston (ugh 40 minutes away from me..without traffic) Eh.. it's good experience.. I"m asking for a significant raise in salary.. and the option of working from home 2 days a week.. Eh.. what do I have to lose? nothing.
That's about it for me.. nothing really exciting going on.... I still feel quiet.. don't feel like talking to many people much...
oh well.. onward and upward..

hmmm...outgoing girl w/ beautiful smile who is 6-1...hmmm...can't imagine...and note..though the exterior has changed since u were @ SCAD, w/ clothes/hair/glasses, etc. they still recognize you...must be the actual PERSON that they remembered, not just the exterior...if people always seem to remember you, maybe it's b/c you're worth remembering...
also..."I was told this is a huge and overwhelming project (again.. my boss likes to scare me a bit) but in the meeting I completely understood and wasn't overwhelmed by the scope"
words receive their power, regardless of tone or volume of delivery, from the person hearing the words...everybody has a certain tone, that while not loud or angry, when coming from a parent, spouse or whoever, lets them know they just muffed up something....the sooner u realize that YOU give power to words, the sooner u can control your response to them, whether they come from your boss, someone who tells u what u wanna hear, but actions speak differently, etc, etc...
