It finally decided to get all wintery on me last night. Somewhere around 9:00 I think the winds kicked up and took the temperature down into the 20s. Not crazy-cold, but cold enough. I slept under an extra blanket.
My annual review is coming up at work. Holy cow, can you believe it? A year, and all that that attends. On the one hand it feels like it’s flown by, but on the other I feel like I can remember every second of it like it just happened. I also feel like I’ve written this before. I hate repeating myself.
I pitched an idea for a public-image campaign to three of my co-workers yesterday, and not one of them liked it. Which stinks, because I thought it was one of my best ideas. I don’t know whether they’re right and I’m wrong or I’m talking to the wrong people. I guess it doesn’t matter in the end, because if those people don’t like it, the client will never hear about it. Bleh.
On the other hand, yesterday I found out we scored a major win, a client I really wanted to work for. And while that’s definitely good news, I can’t stop thinking about that other campaign, the one where I so obviously missed the mark. This troubles me.
I guess it’s just part of who I am, though. I’m that guy who takes the wins in stride and fixates on the losses. Old dog, new tricks, et cetera and so forth.

Here’s some really good advice I’ll offer because you’re the greatest blogger in the history of the planet: Start the annual review by taking off your pants.
