Day to day, it’s relatively easy to be an executive, at least a new one in the environment I am in. I am decisive and opinionated; my ideas about how we should be doing things are fresh and generally well-received, especially when I communicate them well (read: POWERPOINTS FOR DAYS). And still! I’m younger, more exciteable, and more willing to challenge traditional ways of doing things than any of my peers, which feels awesome the majority of the time and wreaks me completely insecure at minute amounts of the rest of the time. Never more apparent than when we get together, and the things barely noticeable over a screen become recognizable in real life. But, that’s the fun stuff too.
We were in Miami, where I have spent no time, and still have seen very little of… but my short wander through Coconut Grove was nice?
I also got to meet one of my direct reports! We had a lovely leisurely lunch; it’s so wonderful to meet people in person you’ve only met virtually. But the whole trip was exhausting too… I’m grateful to be home, to be scooped by a man who brought me three types of green juice to make sure it was the right one, and then thought it was cute I fell asleep on his leg not one minute into the show he was watching.
Which put me here, snuggled on the couch after I woke up and he slept in, in the rare occasion of being by myself without much to do on a Saturday morning (I had planned to play football, but opted for sleep instead because I AM MATURE and also a complete asshole without enough sleep and also would get sick and miss out on the other fun things I have planned for this weekend and week and I don’t want to do that so I set aside my FOMO and desire to play to sleep in. A long defense.)
Then, we made a long brunch and leisurely ate, and I’m not publishing this post until Satruday afternoon, and all of it is glorious.
And I can’t wait to see my Marriage Certificate Trio and the rest of the SIXTH annual Super Bowl Ski Trip crew in just a few weeks!!!
