Today I was reminded to get back to reading. I haven’t finished a book for the past yearsss and I’m kinda disappointed at myself. The only time I get to read something is when I research about the articles I’m writing. Other that that, no new novels finished. I remember being halfway through The Girl with all the Gifts and Before we were Strangers but until now I never got to finish any of them.
The company held a leadership townhall this evening to launch a book called The Power of Positive Thinking. I dunno why they called it a launch, the book has been around for decades. Anyway. My takeaway from the meet was to get back to reading. Reading helps me write better and it’s a good brain exercise.
Also, I can’t believe I’m part of this kind of townhall. The company held a different book launch for another set of people, but this one’s for leaders, wtf. I still can’t let it sink that I’m on a supervisory level already. Though don’t get me wrong, I have no one under me haha. Come to think it, I’m already 5 years and counting in the industry. When I was a newbie in the workforce, my first supervisor was 5 years my senior. Looking back at all those years and damn, it’s really about time.
So yeah, it’s really the fleeting feeling I can’t get over with. Though technically I’m not doing anything supervisory per se, cos like I said no one’s under me and we’re pretty much individual contributors, it feels grand to be around people so high.
So yup. Will definitely get back to reading and this time I’ll probably quit the digital format and go back to old school paperback. But they’re frkn pricey so we’ll see.
Last book I was checking out was the The Conjugal Dictatorship…, seems like a good read but it’s so frkn long and the kindle sample I got is so full of errors arg.
