Success: made it on the train from Prague to Vienna, and to the hotel, which seems great.
I have been really enjoying the pictures on FB. I hope your body has been cooperative. Recovering and traveling can be unmixy things.
I'm gonna go to Cocina Luchadoras and get tacos and sopas and agua fresca and tortas to go tomorrow morning. And maybe horchata.
That place sounds so comfy and welcoming.
THE CHILD SPOKE WITH PEOPLE AND ENGAGED!!!!
NICE!!
{{aurelia}} I hope today is a much better day.
Working on packing for my trip north. I cleaned out my car as a first step. I'm bringing a bunch of books because I generally get to read more in Otter Lake, as do visitors. It looks like I am traveling alone so I will have more room in the car for stuff. Well, almost alone. Zoe will be with me, and maybe my sister for the first day only.
*looks at forecast* Hmm, I'm thinking the odds I'm swimming tonight are slim & the odds I'm mopping up after leaks are high.
I am feeling better. And as expected, I was up until 5:30. Hopefully that just means I get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight.
Glad you feel better aurelia.
I support Jesse making walking tours her thing.
Well, at least the NBC Megyn Kelly thing tanked in the ratings. [link]
Maybe they will think twice about giving scum a platform.
Ok...people...I'm freaking out. I just talked with my project manager in California. The contract I've been working on with her, providing support, is being split into three pieces and was put out to bid, so if we want to keep it, we have to submit our bids for each piece. One piece is about $8M over 2 years. The person who would run the technical side has no project management experience and the PM I've been working with is too senior and is also ready to move on to her next thing. So they would like to put me in as PM if we win the work. Me. I haven't been the PM on anything. The folks who are throwing my name around have worked with me and know my skill level and each one of them has given the go ahead but today is the first I'm hearing about this.
On one hand, dang, that is a lot of responsibility and I feel amazing that the project delivery team has that much faith in me. But on the other hand, I'm not quite sure that is the direction I want to go, career-wise. I mean, yes, I'm getting my Masters in Project Management, but that was more to enhance my current Project Controls skill set. I...I'm just flipping out a bit. This wasn't anything I considered and if I did go this direction, starting with an $8M contract?!?!?!?
Shoot yeah, Suzi! You can do it!
Yeah, Suzi! I mean, if you don't want to it, that's fine too, but it sounds great to me!
Definitely think if that's where you want your career to go, but I. General awesome, Suzi!!
I am not yet packed for my trip. I do t have a suitcase of the right size (I don't want to check it but the only one small enough is too small--my other one is a little too big for them and I feel like European airlines are more strict?) can't decide if I should just hope they'll let me on with it or if I should take the chance they'll lose it or whaf
I just sent a bunch of questions to my PM asking about responsibility expectations and such. My brain is slowly coming around to the idea and the fact that the people who recommended me would be there to support me as I figure this out, IF we win that work.
Le crazy.
