Overnight Shifts and a Word Salad Kinda Week
One day at a time.
Hey People!
This past week feels like a time warp.
I worked an overnight shift on Sunday night and Monday, I was a total zombie. I could barely order my coffee from the neighborhood shop. It was a word salad of coffee phrases, and nothing was making sense. I apologized and explained I had been up all night. Luckily, they’re cool, and they know I’m usually somewhat normal.
I closed the next two days and then opened. By Thursday, I was toast. I could barely keep my eyes open at work, let alone hustle. “Oh, you want that shoe? I’ll be back in like ten minutes.” I was moving like molasses.
I’m recovering today. Phew! Although I may have done too much already. I went for a run, made some food, walked the dog, and now my brain is starting to shut down. Nooooooooo - I have to finish my newsletter!
I didn’t publish too many articles this week (see above), but I did post two.
You’re Not Funny, You’re a Jerk, and Your Kids Know it
In less than a week, I will be freelance writing full-time! I’m so excited about the connections this has already brought my way. I’m working with people and projects that I really support and admire.
Two of those people are Tim Denning and Todd Brison. I went through a few of their courses last year, and they helped me so much. They helped me understand Medium and LinkedIn - now I’m able to use them like a pro!
Last year, I built my LinkedIn connections from about 400 to 1,300. It’s an amazing platform, and I’m having so much fun there!
If you’d like to connect with me there, you can follow me here.
Tim & Todd are launching their new LinkedIn lessons next week, and if you’d like to check out their 3-part mini-course for FREE, you can do that here.
This weekend I will enjoy my last Saturday as a person working for a corporation. I’m going to do nothing on Sunday besides hang out with the family, the dog, and soak it up.
Do less. It’s fantastic here.
Next week, I’ll box up my office and say goodbye.
Take care this weekend. Go easy on yourselves. You’re doing great already!
Until next time.
Peace,
Kit

Over night jobs should be outlawed!! Glad you somehow survived and are moving to a new adventure!
I do not miss the graveyard-to swing-to morning shift rotation. At all. Glad that's not the norm for you!
