I’ve taken to saving moms voicemails. It’s super easy now that everything is digital. She has no idea I’m doing it. They usually range from 1 to 2 minutes. Generally very upbeat. Specific. And full of love. Here’s her latest. Telling me to call once we get to Bear Valley Road and that she’ll get the champagne.

I did not feel good in the morning before school today and i had 2 pages of homework even tho it was easy and it took like 10 to 15 mins. I had soccer today aka skills practice which is when i go to woodward and I have a bunch of 4 on 4 scrimmages and its is not fun at all its sounds really fun but it really is not that fun.and i played my dad in ping pong and lost 21 to 17 but then next game i won 21 to 19. See ya tomorrow

my sister had a friend over for a sleepover and we went to church and we did the water spiting challenge  and we failed so bad and i watched a little bit of football and my mom has a friend over from where we used to live.

 

!!!THE!!!END!!!

Great memories and lasting friendships being formed. Here we are at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and the “Escape Room” in Capitol Hill where we had to work together as a team to find clues, solve puzzles. figure out the combo to the safe and ultimately break out!

THE END!!!!!!!!!

Making cider!

Today I went apple pressing. My brother has a friend that has a bunch of apples on their trees that are going to waste, so they decided to have a little party at their house and make apple cider. By the end of the party we had more than 15 full jars of cider! It was such a fun day!

today i had reading buddies in school with second graders. I tried to help my dad with our brand new chairs and then i decided to go down to island cool. I also had soccer practice at 4:00.

 

 

THE END

Focus on your vitality to the org, not the tasks.

“…. responsible for the rhythm of the business”

“…set standards for reconciliation between complex, disparate accounting systems”

“…executive support and template creation for quarterly business reviews”

“…advanced modeling for predicting forecast accuracy within a billion dollar division with over 250 specialty sales people”

“…IT program Mgmt in scaling SFDC to construct a 7 layer sales hierarchy”

Etc

Use social media to follow, learn and leverage.

Paint a picture of opportunity for yourself within current Dept/org but hint at the obvious fact that a recently merged 140,000 person org will clearly not move at the pace or laser focus that you aspire to.

Be proactive and exploratory.

What else? Don’t just jump. Lots of stuff will open up come next year. Either internally or not. You’re in a position of strength. So I’d suggest we keep our eyes on our current jobs, be receptive to new dynamics, but simultaneously see what other industries/bosses/locales might lend an ideal combination for your next move.

If they ask about comp, I’d just say you make six figures and are often the recipient of additional R&R type bonuses to further compensate for your invaluable contributions to the biz.

Hope this helps.
