So I just read this great post about The Cocktail Question, and decided I needed to do a little defining, or should I say un-defining of my life right now.
I'm not going to lie, Boeing has already become a big part of my life. It's starting to be routine now, which I'm happy for. I've got the business cards, the decorated cubicle, and the answer to the cocktail question. It's my job, but it's not what I do.
But what do I do?
Well, I sing in the car for starters. Off key, loud, and often. And sometimes I throw in a few dance moves for posterity.
I drink coffee. Every day. In extremely large quantities. Sometimes on coffee dates, which I also love.
I learn. I am curious about pretty much everything and I'm over the whole "stupid" questions things, because I've honestly probably asked them all already. So I'm learning, every day, in big ways and small, about myself, my friends, the world and my family.
I like to go out on the town with my girls and drink white wine, and be classy. I feel more at home and in a dress and heels than in jeans. I have a large shoe collection.
I do absolutely crazy things with my family. I think it's genetic. Or it started when I was so young, it was just engrained in my personality. We road rally, we ride buses to Canada, heck, we invented the Polish press (ask if you want to know), and we had nativity scenes on our front lawn.
I laugh. Mostly at the ridiculous things I've done. I'm not funny, but a lot of funny things happen to me, and I'm a good story teller, so you do the math.
I run every day and it's the one time of the day that I need to have completely to myself. I love watching hockey. In fact, I have a signed picture of Jason Pominville in my cube at work. If you don't know who that is, shame on you.
I'm a believer, in the fairy tale, in love, in big dreams, and in the potential of everyone to turn a life around. I like to talk, and I've realized that I can be pretty opinionated sometimes. I find beauty in the small things.
But more than all of that, I'd like to think that I've made an impact on people. Changed them, in small ways or big ways. And that their world has been a little better because of me.
Better because of me...so much more than my cocktail answer will ever be.
