Is it so odd these days to stand by a commitment? In this day and age when most people find it easy to walk away from some previously agreed circumstance, be it personal or business related, just because it keeps them from being inconvenienced, is it strange to still feel like you need to follow through regardless of the difficulties it may bring? I mean, you made the choice, weighed the options and hopefully came to a solid decision. Or maybe you didn't think on any of those things but instead, went with your gut feeling. Either way, a commitment was made and it should be stuck to. Wouldn't you think?
I have a hard time walking away from something once I have made the choice to work it through. I was the same in my marriages. I didn't want divorce, I wanted to work it out and to my own detriment, probably stayed longer than I should have. I don't like to "give up" at least not without a fight. But this marketing project, has just gotten the better of me. It is now this little cat and mouse game. I don't do games unless you're talkin' the kinds that are actually fun. Like video games or board games or...ya know..bedroom games. Head games don't do it for me and it's a waste of my time. I had answered his last email to me, asking if I was going to continue with this project. I told him I would like to give it a go, I have the work, it is done and that I needed to have reassurance from him that he wanted me on board before I forwarded what I had. I heard nothing back. Even after his urgency, time restraints etc...I heard nothing. I am taking that for my answer. I now have some free time in the evenings.
Today is the first day without Noggin'. And while I am already feeling the effects of a one person office, it was nice to come in today and not have to worry about what mean spirited thing she might say or do. All the while giving me the cutsie baby voice "Why you must have misunderstood my intentions, I certainly didn't mean it that way..." I say...good intentions paved the way to hell. At any rate, I hope she makes her way to Louisiana safely. :)
And on that note...We need to hire a new person. Know anyone that wants a job in Oregon?

me....me....me....lol. The job thing I mean.
As far as making a commitment and then living up to it? Only very special people are able to fulfill that order. YOU, my dear, are one of those. As far as your 'cohort' in this project. He seems way more trouble than he's worth, literally and figuratively. If we were talking a husband I'd say hang in but.....
Noggin.....oi. Good Luck indeed.
AND thats all I have to say about that.....lol (that is supposing you were interested in my opinion. If not? Please disregard the previous....lol)
XXOO
That photo is great. The sky is beautiful behind the stalks.
LOL I still haven't heard from the "other" person I needed for a few days...so I just may be calling you. I have more to tell you about my cohort, I kicked butt and proved myself but good last night. Heehee And I am always interested in your opinion. Why do you think I called you last night?
I won't press about your why's, Frenzied. But doesn't it just make you wonder about people nowadays?
Thanks Tech, it was a beautiful day and I loved that my picture did it justice. I think it did anyway. Sometimes they don't come out as saturated as they should.
That picture is amazing, Michelle. I would never have even thought of that kind of shot, the angle, the subject matter, etc. You have a real talent for that. You and Tech should take your favorite pictures, combine them, and make a calender. I'd bet it'd sell very well -- or at least make a great gift for Christmas!
(I have a "gift" for finding projects for other people to do!) :P
Oh, and Tech is ALWAYS looking for another job. Send him an application!
Ha! That would be fun to make a calendar. Although I think he could do it with his flowers alone. I keep thinking that Tech is jsut what I am looking for...but alas, he doesn't liek cold weather. :(
My typing is horrid today is it not? Good thing I wasn't hired for my keyboard skills...
Tech is a great guy. There must be some way to keep him warm in the winter...think, think...:)
Oh...I have a few ideas. ;)
Well...not sure if it's colder. Maybe a tad. And earlier in the seasons.
As far as what he is looking for? I wouldn't know.
