I can’t believe how anxious I am about a meeting I have at work this afternoon. I’ve been losing sleep over it and thinking about it during times my mind is normally clear (when running).
Granted, it’s been scheduled and rescheduled four times in the last three months, so that’s built up the pressure. We’re meeting with a presidentially nominated person so that puts some pressure on us. It’s about a topic I don’t know a ton about, so that doesn’t help (but I’ll have an expert coworker with me, phew). And I have to dress nice and realized last night that most of my jackets are out of style and don’t fit (too small) anyway <— that was a confidence booster
I don’t like to wish my days away, but I am excited for work to be over today! There’s been so much prep and planning and lost sleep and stress… I’m ready for that to be in the past!
In more cheerful work news, I gave my coworker the baby blanket I made and she loved it and said the mint color I used is her favorite color! Yay!
Ugh that is the worst. I had a meeting that I was worried about rescheduled a bunch of times and every time I would get all crazy, only to have the meeting changed 2 hours before it was supposed to happen. I hope it goes okay for you! And I also love the mint color in that blanket. I need to try knitting again!
Gah! How many times was it rescheduled?! I know I should be more chill with stuff like that, but I had getting anxious and dreading something that is just going to be canceled over and over. Ha.
Thanks! You should!!! 🙂
Awww, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way…it’s hard when you have had all this pressure built up around something, and in addition to that, are not feeling confident about it. I will send you good vibes and hope that it goes well. Just think how great it will feel to finally have the meeting take place, after being rescheduled so many times! And I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
PS: does presidentially nominated mean someone who ran for president? President of the US? You’ve got me curious! 😉
Thank you for the good vibes! I appreciate them! It’s going to feel so great to have it done today!
It means it’s a government position that the POTUS nominates! There are several positions that POTUS has to nominate after they take office.
Oh – interesting! Hopefully they are a nice person 🙂
They were super nice and even told me to call them by their first name!
That baby blanket is beautiful! Fingers crossed that the meeting goes well 🙂
Thank you!
It did! We got the info we needed, yay! I am so fried though!
Have a great meeting, Kim! You will crush it! These types of things are always so satisfying when they are over.
Love the blanket!
Thank you! I am so glad it’s done!
And thanks 🙂
Hope the meeting goes well. Sorry its been so stressful thats the worst!
Thanks, it did! And thanks. I need a chiller day!
Work anxiety is the worst type of anxiety (IMO) because it’s ultimately so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it feels SO important when we’re dealing with it. I slept like crap before the first day of my training last week, and was anxious the whole day prior, because I was worried about doing a good job, so I get it!
I read on a blog yesterday that clothes not fitting is that piece of clothing’s fault, not yours. Hope you found something that worked!
That is so true. It’s not really important at all (well, it really is to the client) to me in the long run. But there it is. I am sorry you felt like that before training! Did it go well?
Ahh, I like that. I did and a few people told me I looked really nice today so that helped me feel better about all that!
I hope your meeting goes well! That all sounds really stressful, especially having the date changed so many times! No thanks. And I hope you’re able to have a nice, relaxing evening to decompress from the stress of the meeting!
Thank you! It did!
I just got home and Steven went to get takeout and we’re going to finish watching Jumanji 🙂
I hope the meeting goes well for you – can’t imagine having that kind of stress over a meeting hanging over you for months!
How sweet that your coworker loves the baby blanket so much – makes it all worthwhile, doesn’t it?
It did, thank you! Ugh, we were originally going to have this in the beginning of January, so I have been thinking about it since November! Then it got postponed because of the shutdown and then other things. Gah it’s nice to have it done.
It does! She chatted me today that her husband said he loves it and kept saying I should sell them. I thought that was really sweet 🙂
I know this feeling so well, and I hope the meeting went well! Our minds can be a crazy place when we’re overthinking everything!
Aren’t they though?! UGHHHHHH. I try to use logic to talk myself down but I still get worked up!
Wow, catching up on your meeting in reverse, that does sound extremely stressful, and the wardrobe situation, I’m sure, didn’t help! Did you end up being able to put together a comfortable outfit that made you feel confident?
The baby blanket looks so good! I’m sure they’ll treasure it.
Yeah, mostly! A few people told me I looked nice, which was nice. But the jacket is this material that once you sweat through it stains, sigh!!!! Why do I have clothes like that, when I sweat?! Ha.
Thanks 🙂
