sharifah_durrahsm: When I need to be inspired when everything is going down (Inspiration)
Seems I have not been on this blog since October last year.(EEEK). Well, a few things happened since my last entry:

1. I was in Mexico - (Mexico City, in fact) for the first time ever, for the IL Fast Track Conference in February. I love Mexico. (The Conference, not so much, but more on that later). Actually I LOVE Mexico City. What a mysterious, amazing big city it is. Way more cooler than NYC.

2. Jamie left the company on March 9, 2018. Since then Dioman and I have been running the show. So much so, we are so tired out by 1pm most days. In fact I am so tired that I literally snooze in front of the computer when I sit here at 5pm. Too much strain on the eyes and the brain all day.

3. With Jamie gone, I am now the go-to gal in the warehouse for ALL receiving furniture inventory. Somedays it's great when people see and recognized you, other days, sometimes I just want to be left alone and undisturbed.

4. My freelancing gig on Upwork finally took off and I am now on my third assignment. I got my first client in February, one in March, and #3 currently, just yesterday. It's a blast doing different kind of jobs. Winton might be on to something when he said that Upwork could be the jump start to your new life decade. If I think this freelancing gig as as a business career, maybe I might be able to get out of the work life sooner, and finally get to do the kind of work I am interested in. Hmmm. Now that's an amazing thought.

Tuesday was a day ...

Of surprises! That I got called for an assignment starting next week. That Robert Half / Accountemps Woodbridge called to say that they have a client in Edison that wants me to start with them. This is for 6 months, possible extension. However hours are 6am - 2.30pm. Well, there goes a good night's sleep and the possibility of getting my lungs on fire with the extreme cold at 5.30am. Having done that before, walking in the cold at sub-20 degrees feeling while your lungs were on fire is NOT something I want to do again. But at least I get the rest of the afternoon off when the day is done.

Not exactly clear what the client is, but I think it is a distribution center sort of thing and I will be doing variance inventory. I've heard of those things before. So I will get to wake Carlos up at 5.30am when I start the car. Karma is a wonderful thing.
