Dusting off the cobwebs

In the few years since I let my note-card side-business fade away, I haven't had much need for this space. Matter of fact, I wasn't sure it was still here with the website gone and the email address deactivated. But through the wonder of of the Internet and the unlimited server space of Google, here it is.

Constantly curious but often unmotivated, I've taken several free online courses on various topics, and even managed to complete two. I recently started one from author, speaker and all-around idea font Seth Godin. This time, it wasn't free but it fascinated me and I'm a huge fan of how Seth views work and how work should be.

I'm telling you this because as part of this course, I need a public (I think my sister still reads this) space to outline my thoughts in response to Seth's prompts.

For the next few weeks, I'll be outlining who I think I am as an individual in the freelancer economy. And even though I am not a freelancer nor do I think I have the huzpah to make a go at it right now, I do feel we all need to understand what we want from our careers. Once we understand that, we can begin the unrelenting search to get there, within our current position, in a different position or even (gulp) as our own boss.

I appreciate your comments, thoughts and your own answers (thanks, sis!) as I work through this course. If you'd like to join me, here's the link. If you sign up in April, it's $30 off.

Unchosen: The Graduation Invite

Sometimes I'm really bad at predicting which design a customer is going to choose. And that leaves me with some of my favorite designs unclaimed. I'm going to start highlighting some unclaimed designs here in the blog, as well as some of my favorite designs that were chosen. I'm pretty proud of my concoctions, and I want to show them off! I've been doing a lot of invitations lately, and they are a lot of fun. I'm sticking to the small, intimate parties (no Bridezillas here, please) like bachelorette and graduation parties. My customers have great ideas for themed parties and you just can't find invitations at Target for the "She Got Knocked Up" baby shower. Okay, I haven't done that one yet, but I bet it would be a blast! This unchosen design came from a recent graduation party invitation. The soon-to-be alma mater's colors were green and gold, and the graduate is a big fan of pink. That's where the color scheme came from. Because it was a ...

This week's thank you: The person who makes time

Time by Stefanos Papachristou on Flickr CC BY NC I used to work at a bank where birthday and work anniversary notes from executives were part of the company culture. Even with about 350 people on staff, the executives made a point to know everyone who worked there. During my seven years at the company, I did informational interviews like mad. At least once a month, I picked up the tab for lunch to learn from someone I admired. Pretty much every executive at that organization made time for me at least once. I'm sure they weren't in it for the free lunch. These informational interviews provided me insight into everything from identifying skill sets to working to get myself into the right place at the right time. I've done a few interviews periodically since leaving that company with other people but short of an occasional LinkedIn update, I had lost touch with those executives. During the holiday rush, I ran into one of them at Target. That casual "hello" i...

This week's Thank You: The door closer

I have a reminder that goes off each Monday at 8:30am. The reminder says "Write a Thank You Note". I work in a large building, housing several hundred employees during our peak rush season. A large portion of the building is our warehouse, with conveyor belts whirring and totes strolling their merry way to the shipping stations. Within this large building, I work in an open configuration of desks and cubes in a fairly quiet area. Fairly quiet, that is, when the door to the room is closed. That door maintains the balance between concentration-enhancing white noise and a cacophony of heavy steps on concrete, snippets of conversation and the buzz of machinery. Maybe because my desk is closest to that door, or perhaps because I have the concentration of a gnat while I'm procrastinating, but my productivity drops to sloth-like levels when the door is left open by unaware (or less distraction-prone) co-workers. Many times have I looked at the door left ajar, will...
