A Week in My Life as a Consultant

Good morning! Please excuse the wet hair. It is Monday. It's the beginning of the work week and I haven't vlogged in like a good two months so I thought that I would try to vlog this week because I have a bit of travel going on from Monday to Wednesday so I thought it could be fun. It could also just be really boring because I'll be in meetings all day and then you would just but we'll see what happens this week when I try to vlog. I have a call at 9. I'm just going to be working from home in the morning and then going to the airport later but right now I'm just gonna pack so I don't have to do that after my calls. My first call and then yeah I have some calls until about 11 30 and then I can have some lunch, do a bit more work, and then go to the airport. Um I think we're on the same flight. It's at 3 50. Yeah. I just had three calls this morning, some emails and stuff and now I'm gonna go get lunch with my brother and he's gonna take me to the airport so I will probably see you next in Chicago. I'm in my hotel room as you can see. We have dinner reservations at 7 p.m. Uh we as in myself, my two co-workers, and the client that we're meeting today. Just gonna like set up my laptop and stuff on my desk, read through my emails a bit before um going over for dinner. I always pull out this luggage rack thing from the closet so that way I don't need to be on my hands and knees on the floor to uh open and dig through my suitcase. Just got back from dinner. It is slightly snowing outside. Not too much. It kind of died down now. Need to get to the office by about 8 30 a.m. so I will see you tomorrow morning. Bye. I got up about an hour ago, got ready, um just did a little bit of work right now. Um I'm gonna head out in about 30 minutes to walk over to the office. It's kind of far, it's like a mile, but I actually really just want to walk and not take a lift or anything because I miss walking because where I live now I just drive around everywhere like I did in LA, but I miss walking. I miss, I miss my London life a little. It's about 6 a.m on Wednesday and I am heading to the airport. I'm checking out of my hotel in Chicago and I'm going to Dallas. Um this is for a meeting with a different client than the one that I met yesterday here in Chicago. I'm gonna land in Dallas around 11 a.m and then my flight out from Dallas is 8 25 p.m back home so I'm gonna get home kind of late. Gonna be a very busy day so we will see when I can check in again. Good morning. It is Thursday around 7 30 a.m. I got home at about 1 a.m. My flight landed at midnight and then took me a while to get off the plane, come home, whatever. And today is going to be a go into the office to work day. Please do not mind my unmade bed back here. I took a nap earlier before dinner. I don't know if you could tell from the vlog footage so far this week but I didn't get too much sleep so I took like an hour nap after work and just had dinner and now enjoying some tea. Because I had a lot of travel in the beginning of the week, today I just had a lot of different calls and things to get done. Other days I'm like talking more to people in person. It just kind of depends. Every day is a little bit different. Tomorrow is going to be another one of those really busy days with a lot of calls. I have a call from 9 to 10, 10 to 10 30, 10 30 to 11, 11 to 11 30, 11 30 to 1, 1 30 to 2, 2 30 to 3, and 3 30 to 4. Hello, it's 5 p.m. on Friday. I am just finishing up all of my work for the day. I just wanted to show you, this is the post-it that I carried around with myself all day today at work. It's just like all the calls that I had back to back and I just like couldn't remember it all and I didn't want to keep having to open my calendar on Outlook so I just put it on a post-it and then like stuck it stuck it to my laptop. Today went by super fast because I had all these different back-to-back calls which sometimes I like, sometimes I don't like because it feels like I don't have time to actually do work because I'm just on the phone. Luckily towards the end of the day I was able to get some work done. I actually left work a little early which was good because it started snowing a bit more and then finished up work at home. I'm very grateful that my job is flexible like that. I don't have to be like chained to my desk from nine to five every single day. As I said, I'm done with everything that I need to get done today. I might spend a little bit more time just sorting through what I might need to get done next week so I can be prepared but I think you know for for all intents and purposes this work week is over. So I am going to end the vlog here. I hope you enjoyed. I hope it was interesting to see what I get up to in a week in my job as a consultant and let me know if you want to see more videos like this in the future or if you're just like that was really boring you like barely showed us anything. As always thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one. Bye!
