Board the A-Train!

I'm most definitely a very passionate person. This is true of everything in my life...when I'm in, I'm all in. And it's a huge production. Good or bad. And everyone in a fifty-foot radius knows about it. In fact, in the interest of warning people, I should probably wear a sign that says, "Join the party, or get out of my way."

My company puts on four major trade shows every year, and as a rep, I get to spend a lot of time helping with the planning of each show. So on show day, I'm either running around visiting with my clients who are participating or running around helping my bosses pull things together. Today was Day One of a huge local business expo that we host, so I spent the better part of my day racing around in my heels, chatting with people and chasing down items, tickets, supplies, etc.

Today's show closed three hours ago, but I'm actually still on a kind of natural high. As it turns out, all that bubbly energy of mine goes into hyperdrive when I'm part of organizing a huge event. I've always kind of dreamed of a job in event-planning, but I usually shake it off since I lack patience and easily escalate any minor setback into a major catastrophe. (Sidenote: I'm NOT the best person to have around in case of an emergency.) However, I had so much fun today, seeing my clients smiling and witnessing the success of months of planning. I love my job, but my inspiration has been renewed...something I desperately need lately.

My fortune cookie at lunch yesterday said that I will have success in a business of my own. So perhaps today was awesome practice for my dream of starting my own company someday. Join the party, or get out of my way!!!
