2022 - Goals Update
Apr. 21st, 2022 07:11 pm It feels like forever since I did a progress update. And technically I'm late too, since I should have done this yesterday. But - reasons.
Week 13: 71%
Week 14: 71%
Much improved since the last update, but not back to where I would like it to be. As for reasons...
April not only brings "April Showers" - for me it also brings my busy time of year. Our company is going into our year-end, which means 2.5 solid months of extra hours and extra stress for me. Now, after almost 23 years I know what I'm going to have to deal with, but knowing doesn't make it any easier.
What does this mean for my goals? Well, for one I'm not adding anything major to the list until July or August. What I have now is probably more than I should be doing under the circumstances, but I'm not going to take anything away either. That also means that I need to be sure that I don't beat myself up if I can't keep the pace I want to. I do still want to do as much as I can, but I'm also aware that there will be days that I just can't.
There is, however, one thing that I do need to add to my list during this time. It is not something I thought I would have to be doing, but life often throws shit at you that you just have to deal with.
I will have to update my resume.
I found out a couple weeks ago that the company's owners are "beginning the process of marketing the company for investment, merger, or sale". Now this could take some time, but the upshot for me is that if the company is sold, I'll almost definitely be out on my ass. So, in order to be prepared for just such an occurrence, I'm adding my resume to my goals - I need to make sure it's up to date by the end of June. And then just roll with the punches I guess.
Aside from that, spring is here (ish). Curling season is done, and golf season is close to getting underway. There are landscaping projects to get done, and some more finishing touches on the house. Mostly, I'll be glad to not be cooped up in the house.
That's all for today. I hope everyone has been having a great week, and has fun times planned for the weekend. =]
