1. Apologies you're trying
you don't always get it right
but you've been going this way for a long time now
and it should be taken for granted that you know what you're doing
but every now and then you find yourself with someone - younger - wiser - more experienced
who asks you some questions that you should know the answer to and you don't, so you do one of two things:
Maybe, you say: "Jeez, I really don't know - I'd have to think about that - let me get back to you" - and maybe that wasn't good enough and the young guy thinks you're dumb. You don't pass the test. Or, maybe you say something like: " huh? Oh yeah - THAT! - it's an old chestnut with no satisfactory answer. The more we know the further we get from the problem" - or something that just to sure up your credentials and reinforce YOU as the old hand. "Don't worry - your troubles will be safe with me" and so on... Maybe it works and maybe you never learn another thing in your life or maybe you don't get the job. Sometimes, it's enough for people to think you have the answer even if you don't - Is that not right?
Lol. Probz not! :-)
2. Send Invoice
3. Prep for interview day
4. Check budgets and prep financial reports for trustees
It's not as if love isn't always ever present. It's there, behind everything you do. A duty of care which you dispense with a careful watch, a prudent smile, a circumspect approach to all new possibilities...
Once you said: "It's a big responsibility, chairing an organisation like this - you really have to think about your responsibility to other trustees, funders, stakeholders - you know? One day you might understand" - to a guy who wanted to rent one of the shops in your growing portfolio of 'community assets'.
Sometimes, you wish you'd got where you were by not knowing what you were doing - but finding out the hard way - like he had. But you didn't. Now, you are everywhere you can ever be and going nowhere further. you got here by knowing the answers - and you never had to find out. Sometimes you write notes like this to yourself in memoranda notes and even in minutes of high security meetings. You don't publish anything with your name on though.
All data like that is securely protected - and for good reasons too.
5. Millie's Birthday at 5.
6. Early onset carer's meeting at 7.
7. Write list for tmoro
8. Brush teeth with blue toothbrush
9. Make breakfast with Cheerios in Yellow cupboard and put cheerios back. Read instruction on inside of cupboard. Go to list.
Lolz.
