affect to effect

There’s a lotta things going through my head these couple of days and it’s not frivolous things like: What the hell is Sean Paul singing? Why did Ronan Keating remake IRIS - song made popular by the incomparable Goo Goo Dolls? And when exactly is Superman coming to our local screens?

Except for the complexities of the project looming, i’ve been trying to understand the intrigue way in which people communicate and connect. How some people are just more effective than others just by the way they handle things. Take this lady I’m working with for example, she’s a stereotypical go-getter. She’s driven and knows her way around everything. People involved seemed to be influenced by her efficiency and her no-nonsense management approach. Assertive and strong-willed but always plays her tactics smoothly - often ending a long dreary meeting with delectable treats at fancy restaurants (I’ve been warned to watch my weight working with her).

She doesn’t waste time trying to explain every single thing to me, she fully trust that i’m in control and knows my place. In fact, she’s so assuring she lets me off halfway through a meeting and tells me she’ll keep in touch and update me on the situation.

Of course this is but just the beginning of the project where my main role as graphic designer is still not in full swing. Crunch-time’s in about a week. Until then, i guess i won’t see beyond my brimming admiration for this person.
