✏️ Memo #1 — The Accidental Reinvention
I didn’t mean to start over.
I was just trying to update my résumé.
Then one thing led to another, and somehow I let AI apply for a job on my behalf.
In my defense, the prompt was simple:
“Write a confident, professional CV and cover letter for someone who vaguely understands project management.”
The result was stunning. I sounded competent. Strategic. Like someone who uses words like “stakeholder alignment” without getting hives.
I read it twice, thought, wow, she seems impressive, and hit send.
Two weeks later, I was hired.
Head of C.H.A.O.S.
Cross-Functional Harmonization, Alignment & Operational Synergy
(also: literal chaos)
I didn’t even know what ERP stood for. (I do now, sort of.)
So here I am — midlife, mildly confused, and pretending to know what “synergistic wellness deliverables” are — working at a company called FFS (Future Forward Solutions). Which feels… appropriate.
They call themselves a “wellness-tech innovator.”
I call them a bunch of people who drink mushroom coffee and hold meetings about “reimagining calm.”
I started this diary to keep track of my learning curve. (And possibly my nervous breakdown.)
My goals are modest:
Figure out what I actually do here.
Avoid getting fired.
Finally feel like I’m moving forward — even if it’s by accident.
If you’re reading this, you probably know that feeling — when you’re not unhappy, exactly, just… underwhelmed. When life is fine, but you keep thinking there must be something more interesting on the next tab over.
This is me clicking that tab.
Let’s see what happens.
B.
