Tahiti is BACK!
Posted on | October 21, 2009 | 5 Comments
OMG you guys, I brought Tahiti back. A few things made me do this — the fact that I didn’t smile once yesterday. Until afternoon when the sun came out, I swear I had just one emotion: despair.
And because this morning I knew I needed to get up and do some job hunting but I was in my bed with my flannel sheets, my electric blanket, quilt, three big pillows and my memory foam mattress and I truly felt like I could not get out of bed. It was impossible.
But what got me out of bed was knowing I could bring out Tahiti and blog about her return.
And as I send out emails and resumes and whatever, I realize I actually have a lot of pretty good skills. I mean it’s nothing to sneeze at that I have two novels published. That when I worked in PR, my clients were IKEA and a circus that shall go unnamed but rhymes with Thingling Crothers. I’ve written for one of the top ad firms in the world and also…you know… Back Fence.
I’m actually pretty excited about it. I’d like to keep doing freelance stuff, because I enjoy the flexibility. And, you know, I have other stuff I’m doing. But I’m looking forward to meeting even more new people. For getting paid for what I know and my talent to make people (the media) bend to my will. (Hi, media I AM KIDDING.)
And I’m actually doing Research and Development for a company here in town and THEY ARE PAYING ME. I know, right? They’re paying me because I know stuff and people and I can talk to people and stuff.
So there you are. I’m starting my life as a business lady. And also, Tahiti is back.
I’d like to explore some project management because god knows I can meet a deadline, make people do stuff for me and get ‘er done.
Get er done.

See? I’m pretty sure I have some skills that transfer to things like project management and R and D, but I can’t make the connection myself. I mean seriously, if I can plan a trip for 40 kids to go overseas for 15 days, do all the planning, fundraising and mangement for it and execute said trip with no injuries or meltdowns, then I’m pretty awesome, right? I just don’t know how to make my resume say that.

Oh. And I’m pretty sure I need Tahiti. I live in a basement, you know.

Sun makes me freak out. It’s the Irish in me.
And the evil.
