Sunday Lately, 4

January 25, 2015

This week was kind of crazy.  I had my first solo Local Levo event (if you’re in Pittsburgh, please join us in Feb at Wigle Whiskey!), I feel like I worked it really hard at work, and Jonathan and I are going on Day 2 of burger eating.  Yesterday was Bubba’s after the Beer Blizzard and today is Steer and Wheel food truck during Weather Permitting.  They have my absolute favoritest fries in the city.

Sunday Lately 4

Updating

Still updating this little bloggy space of mine.  I love how these prompts let me remind you so much that things are still a-changing around here.  I’m okay with that!

Reminding

..Myself not to get wrapped up in things I cannot control. So much of my job is apologizing to people because something didn’t work correctly. Not that I did anything wrong, but empathy is the first step in disarming an angry person. Mix that with my knee-jerk reaction of apologizing for stuff in my personal life and I’ve got a sure-fire way to think that everything is my fault.

Needing

Furniture!  I have a bunch of hand-me-down stuff and it works but it is only comfortable really just for me.  I can’t host people for long periods of time without being embarrassed that my living room furniture consists of an old armchair and ottoman slip-covered in sheets from Target and a papasan chair that really belongs outside.

Amusing

..Coworkers with my responses to emails we all get.  For example: when someone sends a message in all caps, I’m that person emailing the department, “OKAY, I’LL ANSWER THIS ONE.”  Always good for a chuckle.

Being

Just being. As in reminding, I just need to be and I’m not. I should schedule massages for myself more often so I can “just be.”

    Woah…wait! How did I miss that you’re from Pittsburgh? We are practically neighbors! I live in Wheeling!

    The all caps thing make me chuckle because I can’t help but read messages/emails/posts in a yelling voice, even if I’m just reading it in my head. Customer service fields are tough to be in. I’ve done it my whole life and it’s good to have empathy but it’s wearing after a while.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      I know! So cool 🙂

      I always read it in a yelling voice, same as if someone sends an email with a question ending in about 10 question marks/exclamation points. It is wearing after a while. I’m glad you feel me on that one.

  • Julie @ Artwork by JM

    Hmmm I’ve never heard of Levo, but I would love meeting other people in the Pittsburgh area!

    I am just like Katy, I read anything that is in all caps in a yelling voice in my head. lol! I don’t think I would ever be able to do a customer service job like that. huge props to you for being able to do it, but I have a bit of a hot head so I don’t think it would go well. haha! I was in retail for a long time and had to deal with customer complaints but it’s not as bad as that with confrontation

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      It’s a great organization aimed at Gen Y women. If you’re free, I’d love to meet you at our next event!

      Thank you. It’s a daily practice in patience, especially in the customer complaints field!

  • Nicole White

    Yes, all caps equals yelling voice haha.

    My husband was born in Erie and we are huge Pittsburgh fans in this house, especially the Penguins, we really need to make it up there for a game and I would love to meet up with all of my blog buds in that area.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      That’s fantastic! I don’t mind watching all Pittsburgh sports, but watching hockey is definitely my favorite (and football is my least favorite haha).

      Please let me know if you’re in the area; I’d love to meet you!

  • Meghan Hayes

    Very cool little question mark thing at the bottom! I love that! I’m also loving how a little something is always different every time I visit. You’ve been hitting home runs with regular posting too. I’m thrilled to have something to read from you just about every time I sit down to read. Furniture is such an investment. We’ve started picking a piece at a time to work on. So far we’ve done one purchase every other year we’ve been married. A dining room table, dresser for coffee station, and sofa. This year it’s a new bed. We bought mattresses before we got married, but it’s time for something bigger and better.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate that you come here to read what I have said and you notice the changes, too!

      Furniture is an investment! I’m not sure where I’ll end up, so I don’t want to spend a lot, but I also want more than just a futon from Target. It’s definitely time to treat yourself on a new bed. PS: I’d love to see the dresser-turned-coffee-station!
