I work for iGive.com, which is an online shopping portal that allows members to donate a portion of whatever they spend to the charity of their choice. It's awesome! And, for my job, it's basically retail/sales/marketing. And yesterday was Cyber Monday.
It was also the first day of the week (as Monday tends to be!).
And the first day of the month.
And, The Factory Theater had a special Monday night Industry show for Hotel Aphrodite.
"Busy" is not the word for my day yesterday. I looked up synonyms and Thesaurus.com suggested the following that I found much more appropriate:
persevering
swamped
diligent
overloaded
engrossed
engaged
working
hustling
and, my fave - occupied.
Luckily, this super busy day was also filled with good feelings.
I felt accomplished: I was able to keep the inbox under control all day.
I felt useful: my job truly allows me the opportunity to make a difference, albeit indirectly, with thousands of charities & causes across the US & Canada.
I felt triumphant: the performance was not one of my personal best (how on earth did I forget my pearl necklace?!?!) but the audience was over-the-moon enthusiastic.
So, today is about recuperating. And catching up on the things that weren't 'emergencies' yesterday. And prepping for the rest of the week. And month. And year.
And it's also about laundry.
The holiday shopping season is truly underway, so 10 hour days will be the norm for a while...as will checking in on Saturdays & Sundays...along with the regular run of the show...and hitting auditions when possible...and fundraiser events...and a Babes' Fighting Words reading...but, hey, ya know what?
I got this.
