The problem with Severence is the same problem that plagued Westworld. You can keep adding characters and do world building but the core story is done. This is going Westworld way.

Oh there is a season two of Severence? 🙄 would have worked so much better as a mini series.

The weekend just flew by it feels like. Exhausted after a eventful weekend spent with friends from Philly. I need like several days recovery time!

Well what happens when you offer help at work to clean up strategy deck? You end up owning it and presenting it to the company! And that is exactly what will happen to me next week. I am mildly WTF mode right now. I mean I dont mind it, but I don’t necessarily enjoy public speaking; I am really good in smaller settings and smaller audiences, but talking to 100s of people, even though i’ve done it many times is not my cup of tea. Its one of the reasons why I moved away from technical marketing role because it was too much public speaking that I didnt quite enjoy much.

Oh I had no idea i could cross post to twitter. But i would have preferred it if I could decide *which* posts to cross post, and not just all like it is now.

Saw House of the Dragon trailer. Does anyone care about anyone in GOT world anymore? They will all die a horrible death anyway.

After much rave reviews we started watching Severence (again). Terrific concept but it feels like we have watched 6 seasons of the series already and we are only on episode 7. Feels like by end of it I need severence from this show.

Yesterday I had my first leadership coaching with a third party coaching provider that my company offers to me and people at my level. At the very outset the coach said it out loud what I was thinking – this is not therapy, but coaching on how to get best out of yourself in workplace situations. Within the first 15 minutes of asking about my background and work, the coach has clearly nailed in on the exact issue that bothers me about myself at work – I am **not** good at demanding and asking for growth opportunities. I keep hoping that I will be noticed anyway with my work, but thats not the case. And eventually I start feeling bad that I was not given a growth opportunity.

None of this is particularly new insight – I _knew_ this about me for a while, but it was refreshing to see how obvious this was to someone else. In the next few weeks of coaching we will be covering topics on how to best represent myself, assert my views and demand growth & recognition in a way thats positive and gets result.

I am definitely looking forward to more convos in coming week!

lol. back to looking for jobs.

Last year Anu lovingly spent hours planting various hostas and plants in our backyard. This year Hobbes has basically chomped them and made it into his daily salad. The only reason our rose plant is untouched is it has thorns.
