Cats and Space Aliens

 What a year so far, job-wise: 

I've had four jobs/roles.

Job #4 began on Monday this week, and it's a terrific fit for me!

Job #3 was heck on wheels, as I struggled with a not-so-good role.

Huzzah, I'm so glad to be where I am now.

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement, as I posted about feeling adrift.

My employment ship has found it's safe harbor.

Speaking of ships, why not UAPs, UFOs...and cats!!!

On The Job

I am thankful to be gainfully employed, with a terrific supervisor and teammates.

Yesterday, we completed 2-1/2 days of meetings, with folks traveling in from all parts of the globe.

I organized the hotel rooms, lunches, snacks, drinks, evening restaurant reservations, some taxi services, located electric cords for laptops, supplied pots and pots of coffee, and lots of cookies.

We exchanged photos of our pets, told stories about kids, travel, hilarious work situations, and heckled our bosses with smiling humor.

The group surprised me with a round of applause, a bouquet of flowers, and a handmade box made from semi-precious stones, in the final minutes of our convention.

The next time the team interacts, we'll be tiny rectangles on each other's monitors on some online appointment, so it was delightful to be in each other's company.

Am very glad to be working remotely again though, as home is where the cats are!

Oh yes, and The Hubby...*wink*

A Step Into The Future

I began my new job this week.

This Maneki-Neko sits on my desk; it has brought me luck!
A gift from Boss #1 from Japan.

The story:

Boss #1: Hired me in 2011 as executive administrative assistant, then he took another position in the company.

Boss #2: Great boss; he also took another position with another division.

Boss #3: During pandemic, my job title was eliminated, however Boss #4 offered me a position on the sales team.  I took it.

Boss #2, as a Corporate Global President now: "I need you, will you come work for me again?"

To Boss #4: "I must go!"

Being back in the swing of the executive team is delightful, and I've just begun to dip my toe into those waters.

I may drive to the office once a week for awhile, and The Eastside Cats will NOT have me for their human cat bed every single day.

But, keeping them in cat food is most impawtant, no?

Launch Into The Future: Monday O'Malley

I type this post before meeting with my new supervisor.

On Friday, my 'old' job was eliminated by my company, and I was offered a new position.

Our offices remain closed, so no matter what, I'm working from home.

Onward and upward, no?
