Work Diary #10

Another hot minute, and an introduction

It’s been another hot minute.
The minute has been so hot that I may have forgotten the structure of these updates 😅.

The good news is that in the time that I have been away, I have had some really stellar things happen professionally.
I will share just 2 because the rest are still work in progress; I am now an official member of the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors (aka IAPWE). I did not realize how big of a deal this was until several days after receiving the acceptance email.
In other words, I am a professional writer. I had to submit several writing samples to be considered for the membership- I didn’t buy it (sub intended)
I was also able to get 1/3 of my desired certifications for the month of February -yaay!.
Studying while working is not a bed of roses, and I will know this because I have spent the past month buried in books trying to get new knowledge and upskill.
A lot of times, it’s just easier to fall back to youtube and scroll mindlessly through shorts.
I have 2 certificates to go. I will get them.

I don’t have anything exciting to share today, so I will just do a mini-introduction because I realised I just went straight to giving you unsolicited advice when I started this publication, without ever giving you any reason to trust in my credibility (But hey, you’re still here so either my advise is great or you have a thing for bad decisions). And, we have had several new people join the community.

Here goes:
-My name is ‘Setemi.
-I am a Business Analyst.
-In my role as a business analyst, I also function as a Product Manager.
-I am a certified project manager (this should count for something)
-I am also the Project Manager for Citizen Square and in this position, I lead the execution of our student education initiative.
-I am also the operations lead for Grow with PATH (official documents say I’m COO but that’s such a heavy title and I weigh less than 60kg😪)
-By now you should know that I like to throw puns around and have a unique sense of humour.
-I am a graduate of engineering.
-Of course, it goes without saying that I am a writer- a professional one at that.
-Oh yeah, I am a tech sis
-I also have a podcast with Kenose

Thank you for reading.
In the next update, I will return to the proper structure and share proper work updates, excerpts from books that I am reading etc.

The End.
See you in #11 which may or may not be tomorrow.
