Well, newest person got fired and my good friend of three years at the company handed in his notice so bit of a wild one! Hopefully it means good things for me but we shall see.

Woke up. Made it to desk. Therefore, I’ll consider it a successful Monday.

Took a sick day to manage the kids. Wife had a migraine so I was in the trenches all day. It feels like today was just short of 72 hours long.

Rough. I know those days


 I get migraines too. Wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy.

Totally. She was out of commission. Not to brag but I survived and so did both kids. Might put that in the win wire.

Have today off, so I cleaned a bunch and then made steak and acorn squash and opened a bottle Grenache. Rest of this week is trying not to zone out completely as I finish at my current job before I start a new one next week. I make no promises, though I am excited about my first golf lessons tomorrow evening.

Kind of a nice quiet day in which I prepare for the rest of the week by getting my pitch decks brushed up.  I did hear some potential good news through the grapevine, but don't want to jinx it by getting amped up too early.  I also managed to land a key participant for an important meeting with a prospect tomorrow (he cleared his calendar), so I'm hoping that the rest of the week will be smooth.  I got some irritation out of my system by posting a rant, too.

It is by far the hardest part of my job:  Arranging meetings with the appropriate participants.   The old herding cats statement comes to mind.

Oh, that's a great graphic.  I always think of that old EDS commercial with the cat herders.  So many moments of hilarity in that ad.

Pretty good. New client signed today. Right now me and the boys (my team) is at 80% done with the target for the month.
To be fair. I sell marketing / digital ads and its Q3 — Q4 is the absolut best season for us. So its not that hard tbh.
Keep crushing it guys!

O buddy, Q1 started with a bang. We are migrating a ton of data for CRM consolidation and we had most of the sales staff locked out of everything today.
