Made my Fast Start

Didn't think I'd do it. But got a lot of help from Bob. Now shooting for Fireball. Don't think I'll get there, but that's what I said before Fast Start. Ya Never Know!

Novacare Training Center

Went to Novacare, Eagles Training center, last night for Aflac awards dinner. Very cool to see the locker room and meet with one of the defensive coaches. Good award. Keep working for more of them!

Aflac Fast Start

looks like I will miss the 5500 revenue target. too bad, but being away last week in Scotland made it extra hard.

Fake it for Now

What's the latest dilemma? The same old anxiety about getting a job. Remember, been there and done this a million times over. I think that's how I spent the majority of my worry from 2003-2006. Being independent. It's the fear that consumes me. It's the insecurity. But why should it? The old glee at feeling free before is gone, mostly. What's left is the fear. What makes me think I can do anything? I can't but others can, and I'll just fake it for now.

Outta the Blue

Call today from a recruiter out of the blue. I guess they usually are. It's a publications position with a big pharma. Sounds interesting. Certainly a better fit for me than working on the outside looking in. I think that was a major problem in the last gig. Of course, this may be another day another ding. In fact, it's likely to be. But you got to keep throwing stuff at the wall and all.

St. Joseph's Post-MBA

Wow, intense two day course in global corporate strategy in St. Joe's Executive Pharma Marketing program. Too short a time to learn much through osmosis, but it was well structured and the interaction of the class is priceless. All people from the industry. I'm a cynic about networking, feel that it is exploitative. But knowing people, and knowing the type of jobs they do is helpful. I will pursue this certificate, just not sure when. And the either or decision between the regulatory affairs cert and the post-MBA cert is a non issue for now. They are not mutually exclusive, in fact they would build on each other quite nicely.

Another Day, Another Day

Yes, it's been a week now since I got the latest Ding. But I haven't had time to focus on that negative because I got some project work going on. Which is a good Thing. It's easy to get carried away and think that this project work would continue, but let's just concentrate on today. I have two projects today which will keep me busy all week. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
