"I benefit from you being smarter."
Friday, I was sick, so I didn't go in to work.
Monday, I met Chris at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the website he built for them.
Tuesday, it stormed and the internet was down, so Chris sent me home to do some research for him.
But today, it was so beautiful outside I showed up early. I didn't yet have a set of keys to the building, so I waited for Chris to arrive. He asked me to check and make sure the internet was working, and when it wasn't up again, he asked me to call Verizon. Luckily, he showed up right as the technician answered and I gladly handed my phone over to him.
Chris had me follow him up to the communication center for the building, which is located in the attic. To get to the attic, you have to climb up a sketchy ladder in a closet into a hole in the wall. I was not too confident about not falling to my death from the top of the ladder, and I hope that I never have to venture back up there.
We were having a discussion, and once again my likes got me in trouble. "Every time you say like, I'm going to hit you up side the head, or buzz you, or something."
DANG IT. Seriously need to stop saying like. I caught myself mid sentence and called myself out on it. Chris turned to Schwartz. "Every time Charly says like, throw something at her."
When I point out something to you, or when I saw "you", I don't really mean you specifically, and I don't want you to take it personally, but I benefit from you learning from me, because you serve as an extension me. I benefit from you being smarter. And if I can teach you things that it took me 40 years to learn, then I have been successful. We are working together here, and if we aren't on the same level working together then we have a problem, so it is part of my job to get you comfortable enough to work on my level."
With the internet back online, Chris sat down to show me his Express website. He is building it live from scratch, and he wants my help. I read over the entire site, at least what he had up so far, and I was taken aback when I saw a testimonial on Chris's site from Chris himself for one of his other sites, and I laughed as Chris came to look over my shoulder. "Uh-oh, I've been exposed. Charly's world is about to come crashing down because she is about to realize that marketing is just a bunch of BS!"
We ended the day with Chris setting up my email to the Mac, so I don't have to rely on my phone, and I even get my own email signatures with the logos.
Tomorrow will be a busy day, but I'm excited.
