…the letters “E”, “L” and “O”

September was rough. Too much going on at work as I (a) transitioned on to three accounts and took over for someone who (a.1) left with three days’ notice and (a.2) left the accounts in a bit of a mess; and (b) struggled to learn some of the ways of an interactive agency. A lot of stuff fell through the cracks and clients who were already pissed at us got even more pissed. Yikes.

So my theme for last month was Green Day’s “Wake Me Up When September Ends”. Not one of my favorites or anything, but it fit.

I’m ready to leave that all behind and make October a super-kick-ass month, and things got off to a great start today. I won’t bore you with the details, but I got some breathing room which is allowing me to get ahead of things instead of being in a constant reactionary emergency mode, all without having to rely on anyone else to bail me out.
I went out today at 12:30 to grab a bite to eat and put some air in my right front tire that looked a little low. When I got in and turned on Sirius, it was tuned to Ch 15 “Classic Vinyl” (Howard must have been on a break when I got here this morning) and ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky” happened to be playing. Perfect. Up-tempo, bouncy, light. Just what I needed to kick off the workmonth.

Thanks, universe! Keep up the good work!
