Back in July I blah blah blah’ed about trying some big things – there were two I didn’t mention.

- I applied for an internship with Leah and Mark, and I got it.
- I applied for a program at work. I was accepted (found out last Thursday).

Holy shitake mushrooms.

The internship with Leah and Mark has been rewarding so far, challenging me to think more and shoot less, not to mention the technical additions to my arsenal. It runs through October, with a week of vacation in late September being dedicated to strengthening my brain and my trigger finger.

The program at work is (get ready for the elevator pitch) an “intense, internal baby MBA program” and begins in mid-September, running through mid-November.

It’s certainly a case of be-careful-what-you-wish-for but more than that, it’s a reminder to both of us that good things happen…but they only happen of you make something happen first.

Let’s just hope my head doesn’t explode.
