All in a day's work

I don't often post specifics about my work. I did once. My first week on the job. Most jobs have learning curves. That post was my first one. I had no idea that because it's a PR firm, we have media alerts for our firm name, our clients, our client's products, so on and so forth. The alerts help us to know when we are mentioned, where, when, why, what, how. Not because we're full of ourselves, necessarily, but so we can promote our clients most effectively. Suffice it to say that my blog set off a bunch of alerts because I mentioned my firm AND clients name several times and my colleagues all the way to Zurich, Switzerland were enjoying my blog that day. Waaaay embarrassing.

I truly, truly heart my job. On a daily basis I am astounded at the luck/incredible blessing I had finding it. In 2006, right after my college graduation, I had turned down a great NYC PR internship offer when I decided to be a missionary, and though I never regretted choosing to serve, I often wondered what would happen to me when I returned home. I remember telling a member once about the internship, and she said, "Oh you'll get an even better offer with a better company." At the time I kind of doubted it, but her prophecy came true. For sure I know that my job is a direct blessing from serving, that's the only way I can figure landing it.

So without mentioning specifics that would sound alerts of any kind allow me to express my love for my job by mentioning just a few cool things I did today that I never imagined ever doing in my life:

- Touched a real million dollar check

- Helped choose models for an advertising photo shoot

- Helped prepare for the prince of Spain's visit to NYC in March

Just three reasons why I love my job and my life.
