week in review

another week, another huge gulp of the corporate kool-aid. I’m seriously hooked. this week entailed lots of research time, which I adore, and creating strategies and continuing to feel more and more comfortable in my new role. it didn’t hurt that this week also brought the first day of September, which means both my birthday month and the start of my favorite season, an amazing concert at Red Rocks with one of my favorite bands and time exploring my city via foot and public transportation. also, any week that precedes a three-day weekend is always okay by me.

“Wish I could turn you back into a stranger
‘Cause if I was never in your life
You wouldn’t have to change this
But I know that I’ll be happier
And I know you will too
Eventually” ~Tame Impala
