ideas focused, design challenged

don't the two go together??

for years, i've spent my time bemoaning those big-picture bigwigs who sit around and, well, think about the big picture. meaning, they would come up with grandiose ideas that us little people had to design, implement and manage. but, really, i loved being a little person, because my strengths really were in the implementation of it all.

weren't they???

now, as i begin to market my own talents (read: myself), i have to think WAY BIG PICTURE but also think of every very small, tiny detail in order to have all the bases covered. the ideas are flowing like river water, but i can't seem to manage the needed small details: a business card, flyers, a website, how i'm going to make money. you know...the "small" stuff.

the fact of the matter is, i'm good at carrying out other people's ideas (as long as i [mostly] believe in them) and i'm good at coming up with my own ideas but never bringing them to fruition. uh-oh. trouble in not-working-full-time paradise...

this weeek on lee lee TV: can she suck it up and learn to work for herself? or will she fail miserably and be back in a cubicle, dreaming of being her own boss? cue music. fade out.

sweaty pits and i can't even drink about it

you know it's gonna be a bad day when you get to work, walk up the 5 flights of stairs that still aren't getting any easier, and realize you forgot to put on deodorant this morning. unfortunately, the only kind i have at my desk is the "natural" deodorant, which i should have just thrown away when i realized it didn't work...

if that isn't bad enough, i recently discovered that my work has a "no tolerance" policy for alcohol on the premises. great! what am i going to do with the flask and mini martini shaker i've been keeping at my desk???
