Reflecting on My Day

Today's been very busy as not only did I have a phone "discussion" with Blue Plate Chicago about a Marketing Director job but I also had the inspection on our new house. All-in-all, it was a good day. But, that doesn't stop me from noting that I'm a bit anxious and nervous.

I'm anxious about the job with Blue Plate Chicago. Is it a job I'd really like to have? Initially, I say yes. But, the job description doesn't accurately describe the responsibility set. Not only does Blue Plate need a Marketing Director to oversee activity with their three restaurants and catering businesses, but Blue Plate is also introducing a new product into the market along with a retail concept. So, the Marketing Director, who will be replacing a variety of exiting former employees, will have his/her hands full. As for next steps, I'm to note my thoughts about our chat and forward to the Human Resources director I spoke with today. I've asked for the same from him. We'll see if our thoughts line-up.

I'm nervous about our house project. Well, project isn't the right word. I'm thinking it's a major undertaking. The inspection went well. So did my walk through with the architect. But again, it's going to take time and money to convert the house into the dream home we want. I can only hope we have the patience. We'll be noting our requests for credits to the laywer tomorrow. As for the architect? He's going to be pulling together a schematic to let us know how he would reconfigure the space. I'm, again, nervous about the upstairs rehaul as he's thinking the two rooms might be a bit small to collapse into a master. But, I guess I'll just wait and see.
