I worked about 55 hours this week. My company is ramping up for their biggest event of the year, and the entire creative group is flooded with requests for assets and new projects. As newly-promoted manager of the department, I get to herd all the cats, from usually-unavailable executives to overworked designers. It is, to say the least, an intense and hectic position, and the crazy won’t ease up until mid-April, after the event.<\/p>\n
All week, I have relied heavily on Serqet to lend me Her carapace as protection against the stress and chaos of the fast-paced, long-winded days. I will probably continue to lean on Her until the peak of activity passes and things calm again.<\/p>\n
In thanks to Her, I offer this, along with such treats as I create and pour and bake and cook this weekend and in coming days:<\/p>\n
Hail, Serqet!
\nLady of the Golden Carapace,
\nShe of Strongest Skin,
\nYour radiance is the sun’s light!
\nThose bathed in Your glow
\nkiss the ground before You.<\/i><\/p>\n
Hail, Serqet!
\nLady of the Stinging Tail,
\nShe of Venomous Kiss,
\nYour mercy is the sun’s blessing!
\nThose spared from Your touch
\nkiss the ground before You.<\/i><\/p>\n
Hail, Serqet!
\nLady of the Living Breath,
\nShe of Fearless Heart,
\nYour power is the sun’s wrath!
\nThose shielded by Your shadow
\nkiss the ground before You.<\/i><\/p>\n
