I’m getting snarlier in my old age. in other news, apparently two people with much higher titles than mine spent the morning having an August love fest. A++++
you ever have that feel of being trained your whole life for something obscure and random and potentially not A+? for example: I was walking down the studio hall today and got another look of skepticism from a designer, and it’s like, look, pal. I basically made a career out of being ostracized for being weird. I am a PROFESSIONAL at being the oddball. you think a judgmental quirk of your perfectly plucked eyebrows is gonna faze me, you got another think comin’
what I thought my new role was: continued refinement of my previous role, with a particular focus on design
what my new role actually is: explaining what I do to people with an extra zero on their paycheck
fiiiiiiiiiight me. in the good way
slowly it dawns on me that there may be a meta plan in place here, but that the details of that plan are by necessity left to the leaders to work out, and that an awful lot of details are being left to me…..
had farewell lunch with old team today. I’ll see them around, but afterwards they all wanted like three hugs each. C attack-hugged me. I wonder how long they’ve been wanting to be hug-friends with me? precious.
I know it’s just a title, but the fact that I’m now recognized as a UX designer is. monumentally bizarre to me. and pretty sweet ;’D
friends, I have been neglectful of you. (not on Tumblr, in more meaningful communication.) I hope I can cease this trend soon.
today: surreal and a touch magical and melancholy and very, very ordinary. learned about so many people at once. settling into things for the long haul. ready for this change. ready to change things.
