of action, that is.
Yesterday I made a few suggestions to some friends for their office space, and they all loved it. It looks like they are going to move ahead with a small renovation based on some quick sketches I drew. Yay for them! I'm looking forward to walking in there and seeing a real professional space someday.
That's about the only plan of action I have going on besides a short class this afternoon. Then I'll make some renderings of my office suggestions for fun. I've also been playing around with my office management software, Collabtive. There is no user's manual, so it is trial and error. I'm using my little office "project" to figure things out.
Another thing on the schedule should be taking time out to develop a plan for mid and long term goals. I joined The Power Lunch Project this month, and so far my schedule seems doable with the exception of next Tuesday which clashes with classes.
At the same time, though, people have been making suggestions which I'm not sure how to deal with. This has the effect of me doubting my whole life, and I did enough of that when I was beginning my "transition" from my job at the engineering firm to wherever. I'd much rather just read a new book and soldier onward.
See, lots of people congratulate me for venturing out on my own. Then there are other "helpful" people saying I should apply to work at grocery stores, financial planning firms, department stores or for admission to other educational programs. As if I'm not good enough the way I am. The result of all these "helpful" ideas is I've fallen behind in my blogging, my reading and my networking.
This is not the time for this! I refuse to spend another holiday season feeling down about myself! Help!
