Day 51 & 52 - TIMING IS EVERYTHING

CENTER RING - THE JUGGLING ACT

So I am in a weird space where I am trying to juggle potential opportunities in which I have not received a solid offer yet. I am trying to project manage all these employers so that I can ideally have three offers to choose from. That sounds great in theory but I am not sure the reality really pans out like you dream.

Then I think... am I jinxing myself since I don't really have the offers but the promise of an offer. So I really should not be talking about it but I am trying to move up potential interviews and slow down potential offers to get everything lined up. I am basically living in Fantasy Land!!! Maybe I should jump on my unicorn and fly over the rainbow.

I feel like I am so close and yet so far. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining just not sure what I should do next. Should I continue to listen to opportunities and interview? Should I stall and see what happens? Or should I do what I have been which is winging it? I kind of am a girl that always thinks "lean." This means to keep my mandatory efforts going but get rid of actions that will lead to nothing. This is really an exercise of much to do about nothing.

Boy will I be embarrassed if none of these offers come in like I thought... moving on.

MY HEAD
I have been feeling kind of yucky the last few days and really did not know why. Wouldn't you know that I am coming down with a head cold. I am starting to panic because I tend to go through this whole weird thing prior to actually getting the cold. With my calculations, this cold will hit right at the time that I have to get on a plane for my next interview. My body goes through a series of weird symptoms that no one I am sure experiences. First I feel off (such as the Saturday interview); then I start getting congested (no big deal) then I get a scratchy throat and indigestion (which occurs in the middle of the night and keeps me up). Then the head cold hits and I can't stay awake or think. Therefore, being in bed is the best place for me to be not in an interview or on a plane - yikes - I am sure I am going to knock this one out of the park!!!

REALIZATION
I guess it is best for me to go with the flow and keep the opportunities coming. Right now I am managing nothing - the employers are in charge not me. Realization 2 - Let's hope that my serious mixture of cold medicine, neddy pot and tea nips the cold in the bud. Or I will have a very embarrassing interview to blog about in a week.
