{sometimes it's funny what you discover behind the scenes. at first everything seems perfect. and then the truth throws up in your lap. if you think there is perfection - you have been sitting in one chair way too long. I have grown to resent inefficiency, yet that is the land that rests between the big boss and the people that are there for a pay check. the worst kind are the old dogs that cant handle new tricks. omg how slow can you be. and who still works with a paper trail?!?}
so i'm sitting there. no opinion. smiling. I'm just hoping for a project - a bump up in the system to be honest - that gives me purpose.
He pukes on me.
"You basically are the marketing dept. You've seen how much we've done around here."
I node my head. All of this sounds really good. I would be amazing if I could do all that for you. They taught me something in school.
So here I go - taking the boss's dream and trying to come up with a plan and a product. Actually a concrete direction might be a step up. Idea people - this is their struggle - getting all the right people on the right page with the right resources. They don't really see the middle - just the end. So they need people like me to try and think of all the things they didn't think about - to bring them back down to reality and to get it done.
It's kinda intimidating this thing called real life. I just have to realize I'm more competent than I give myself credit for. But like anything creative - it takes inspiration and a lot of seemingly wasted time. (back to my pet peeve of inefficiency), but it's not that bad. Tomorrow I'm going to the beach with my paper and pen.
Now that's the life. Oh, minus the fact of you not being there my dear.
fake it till you make it.
