Project Me

How fab is the up-style and the stylist

Is there a general feeling of anxiety in the air at the beginning of the month?
It’s my first few days of being a full time partner and Greggie had his accounting hat on today. Nothing ever goes smoothly when in a transition period, so I did what any in my position would do … I got silly!
There’s nothing like making a person in accounting mode laugh! Well, I attempted at least!

So there are things I have to get sorted out, like cellphone bills that are making no sense at all and getting accounts to actually go to the right person!I’m so happy that I’m not the moany, groany kind of person who throws tantrums at the poor consultant on the other end of the phone.  Instead, I’m the girl who picks up a take away cup of coffee and sips it slowly as I count breaths while I wait at the customer care center … then I scream and shout! I’ve done this all before for heaven’s sake … I cannot believe that they managed to mess up instructions that were documented on the twenty pages I needed to fill out for them. It’s a grrrrrrrr moment!!

Happily … I went back to gym and my toes survived the realisation that I am ready to get back into it. I was so excited to have missed it. Didn’t know that was humanly possible. The toe did tell me a few times that it wasn’t as ready as the rest of me to be full swing ahead, so I took it a bit easy but am so happy to be back. I also had my private gym to myself again, until a mommy arrived with her few month old baby. It really was a sight to watch this new born bobbing up and down as his mommy cycled away.

Greggie and I are at the stage where we can almost taste the launch of the new project and nerves have definitely kicked in on my end. I literally feel ill … not that it’s stopped the nervous eating at all. I can’t believe the I opted for the ‘over indulge during stress’ queue. I get so jealous of those people who can’t stomach food. I’m getting me some of that attitude next time around.

So launch campaign for the children’s website should be ready for release tomorrow if all goes well. Holy bajeebers  … there are no words to describe how anxious I am. We started working on this project over three years ago and here we are!
We’re still in that learning phase of reading each other without words and it’s making impact in meetings with other people and in the decisions about the business. Today was one of those days when I think we called each other 5 times each. I’m also trying to bring my cellphone bill down now that I have my business partner/accountant man trying to make me more call conscious. Lucky the dating scene has died down thanks to all the hard work!
Oh … back to the point … We are beginning to see our self worth and what we have to offer to the service providers who we work with too. We are also beginning to realise that we are pretty much great at anything we set our minds to … damn that concept …  I could so outsource a whole pile of stuff. Have I ever told you that I dream of a secretary!!! I can see them trailing behind me, taking notes and clearing out my inbox. A girl can dream!

Every once in a while I’m the model for my mom’s candidate for the cruise liners. She recruits everyone for the Spa’s on board … and I’m sure I’ve told you this before. Anyway … today was test the hairstylist day. I’m obsessed with my hair and am more scared of the person with the scissors than the dentist.
What a honey … this very nervous and determined hairstylist was just the most gorgeous guy. We slipped straight into roll play of the fabulous life and before long he had been hired with immediate effect and turned my hair into a delicious up-style … with nowhere to go. *sigh*
So, I just had to take a pic … coz everything about my experience was just fab … and this is what project me is all about … Fun!

Have to dash … sms’ing text guy and trying to cheer him up after his also damaged his foot. Um … well, at least I didn’t kick the wall!!!
