wnyc

i've finally made it inside the ride! i'm working at WNYC as their marketing coordinator. very exciting.

i'm really liking it so far. the building is AMAZING, the people i'm working with are, so far, incredibly talented and hard working. good aesthetics and hard work are my favorite qualities in coworkers and surroudings, and in people in general. they'er also good humored.

things WORK here. meaning that i'm actually really liking working as a marketing rep. and i love this place, meaning i believe wholeheartedly in what i'm preaching. that makes it so much easier to do a good job. hopefully the good feelings will continue after the new wears off!

i've decided we need to live in park slope or brooklyn heights, if we're not to move to manhattan. not immediately, of course, probably not in the next year or so. but after that, when we're both established well. god did right by me having me find my way to WNYC!

there's great stuff around the office, too. soho's just up from here, the village, and the post office is across the street, nick arrojo's studio is 1 block over, there's a chipotle, korean bbq and falafel trucks out front. wachovia is pretty far away, but that won't matter soon.

i've done it! not without some assistance from very wonderful colleagues and people, but i feel like i've arrived (for 25 years old, at least). i expected to hit my stride, and the universe gave me what i was after. even amidst the financial turmoil.

ok - i must get back to the phone calls i was making. but have no fear, i do not believe this is the end of netta producing. i think that is just on hold for now. we shall see what path i choose. the doors have been opened.

friday's off

i've declared that i'm now coming in at 7am m-th, and i will be taking friday's off. i will be spending my friday's pursuing other things - my crafting, relaxing, working on me, and trying to figure out what my next step in life may be if things that i'm hoping for don't pan out. i will be exploring what doors are open and which ones i might be able to shove open a little further.

that being said, i'm feeling delightful.

in more exciting news

i came from a place of power. my big sister coworker is now officially a life coach! she passed down to me some knowledge that she's gotten from talking to her life coach about the workplace and how to grow, how to come from a place of power. i followed her instructions!

i went home friday afternoon and laid out a plan of what to say. i've been feeling less than satisfied because i know that i deserve to be called a producer. i may not have the same time as other producers - i may be only 24, but i'm not green anymore. i've shown my worth, and i've produced and produced and produced. so i knew that having this talk with higher ups was coming from a place of truth.

after laying out my plan of what to say, i didn't cry! i almost always cry when i have to ask for something or ask for something serious, but not this time. and i got what i wanted!

i will be away from the office on friday's from now on working on other things, and i will be coming in at 7 am starting the week of september 5 (that's next week) instead of at 8 in order to get in 4 extra hours. i'm so excited i could pop!

there has also been talk of changing my official job title. and maybe a few other things. i love it when i feel like i've taken back the power!

now i'm going to talk to big sis's life coach. what a day already!

didn't get it

well. i didn't get the job i interviewed for, but that seems to be the theme these days. so, i'll roll with it. cause i guess i don't really have any other choice. i kind of expected that, but at the same time ... san francisco here i come.
