Morning, all!
It's simply beautiful outside today, I'll think of something to do outside. Might be nice to clean a bit, too.
Nothing much on the agenda except I'm waiting for a phone call from the hotel ppl I was consulting for. They couldn't reach a decision about culinary direction and told me to sit tight until they figured it out. They didn't get back to me and now they have, suggesting I may want to return the money they paid for me May. I told them I had forward momentum with 5 companies to get their kitchen built and get supplies, and that it looks like I didn't do anything the second half of May bc I was told not to do anything.
Its uncomfortable to be spoken to as if I had a money grabbing, non producing agenda. That's not me and it feels prickly. I will try not to get defensive. They're doing some revisionist history in their heads about expectations and parameters. I hate how it feels.
I told them to think of something I can assist them with so they feel they got their money's worth. So that's the call I am supposed to receive today.
It's interesting the desire I had to consult, but now when things go wonky, I really miss having an HR department to run these things by. It feels very personal with these guys, I don't like the tone. So there's a trade off with being your own boss. It's a lesson for the future.
I have started to put the workout classes I'd like to attend in my calendar. It's too easy to blow off otherwise. I have real goals I'm trying to achieve here- they are simple and not anything that'll get me hurt or burn me out. So while I still have sessions with the personal trainer, it would be smart of me to put the work in and get her feedback. That's on the agenda for tonight.
Smoothie time.
