Busy Bee


Here’s a post about being busy and pictures that have nothing to do with being busy; just go with it.

Thu 6 May - 7 Thu 6 May - 4

If I told you how busy I really am, you’d probably think I was exaggerating.
I’ve been so preoccupied with work; I dream about work when I’m asleep.
I dreamt I was taking a lovely train ride to a beautiful chateau only to get there and it turns out it’s my office.

Such a dream tease… I’d say!

Thu 6 May - 6 Thu 6 May - 5

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s when work invades my subconscious state.
My dreams are mostly pretty awesome, even my nightmares are sometimes terrifyingly awesome.
So yeah, I’m really busy and stuff but I’ve been calm and poised about it.
I really like this side of me, I’m not cracking under pressure, I feel so mature and in control.

Two more days… of ridiculously backbreaking work (ok, that’s an exaggeration!), until I’m free… for a short while.

Outfit Details: Denim Shirt – Ann Taylor, Skirt – custom made by my mom, Shoes – Clarks

How much do I love this skirt? It was sewn by my mom with her bare hands (and a sewing machine).
I was going to get her to make me a couple more, but these days she’d rather be playing solitaire on her iPhone.
Seriously, she might have a problem there… but whatevs, I don’t judge.
The denim shirt I’ve had for years, and every once in a while I’d wear it and wonder why I don’t wear it more often.

Ok, back to work!

The One Year Anniversary


Today marked my one year anniversary at work. It’s interesting the difference a year makes.
Time does eventually put situations into perspective.
I started with uncertainty and a little bit of unease; I was leaving a very secure (but unsatisfying) position for a job that I wasn’t a hundred percent sure of. On paper, it seemed the perfect job for a bleeding heart like me while in reality it’s better suited for the trust fund kind.
On my first day, I remember mumbling “what have I done?” repeatedly to myself.
A year on I’m still a little uncertain but it’s probably the wisest decision I’ve ever made.
I enjoy what I do, I’m making a difference (albeit small) in people’s life and I’ve learned to dial down the cynicism a little.
