It’s time
During the summer, I wrote a work-related post wondering when I would get to the point where I wasn’t relying on someone else to divvy out tasks to me. Basically, I was wondering “when will I have my own project to keep track of?”
Well, you know where this post is headed.
Things have changed a lot at my office since I wrote that post. The office has acquired a huge workload. We have hired 4 people since November. I have been given a lot of responsibility. I am the “project architect” on a few jobs.
It’s pretty exciting.
I had the project kickoff meeting for a 11,000 square foot (+ an additional 5,000 square feet of remodeling) commercial interior job today. My boss came with me for the kickoff, but I am on my own after today.
That means I will represent my firm at the weekly construction meetings. It means I will get to make the final construction decisions. It means I will have some authoritay (said in Eric Cartman voice).
This excitement will lose its charm, and there will be headaches, problems and disappointments… but for now, I am enjoying the novelty of the moment.
It’s also reassuring to know I enjoy my work and am in the right career field.

Wait, how did I miss this post…CONGRATS, Kim! That is great news! Now go out and by a pair of aviator sunglasses and start saying Respect My Authoritay (ad naseum) !
Thanks for your support everyone! I already feel more stressed out… but figure that is just part of it and I will get used to it! Anyway, I will keep you all updated… 🙂
