Home. Just not for long. I will be spending mucho time in Chicago this summer. I was asked to create and manage a new department. Should be fun but time-consuming.
QUIZ TIME!
What was my mom’s response to: “Mom, I’ll be managing 10 people as well as developing processes and building this new department from the ground up.”
a. Wow, your career is really taking off!
b. I am so proud of you!
c. Maybe you’ll meet a nice man!
The truth of the matter is, she is absolutely on the mark. Heck, I just bought a book called “How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You.” Last night in the airport a very nice man started up a converstation with me. He was so cute in a Steve McQueen-way. And I flubbed it up. I said: “It was so nice talking to you Tim.” And instead of then saying, “I hope you have a safe ride home and maybe we will bump into each other again” I turned and walked away!!!!!!! What was I thinking!?! Had I just waited a few seconds he might have had a chance to give me his number or something. Sometimes I just want to kick myself in the head. Why is it that I panic? What is the worst thing that could have happened? Tim could have said: “You looked much cuter in the plane when the lights were dim and now in the brightness of the terminal I would prefer you step away so no one thinks we’re together.” I’ve dealt with much worse.
Sheesh Donna, if I may be a bit forward, I think you’re a hottie. 🙂
Don’t be in a hurry, the write guy will come along sonner than you think.
Yes, the right person will come along. It just takes time. We all need to grow into the person we will become to attract the right person. As for your flub, hey look at it this way, you may have just been being mysterious. The next time you meet, you have some that WILL cokme to you. Take it easy and don’t work too hard.
