Last week was our first full week of me working more days/hours, both kids starting soccer (3 practices a week total), school being back full-time, and Hubby being gone.
I QUICKLY saw my evenings getting out of hand . . . and me staying up WAY too late to try to get my stuff done, whatever [...]

10 Week Max
It appears that 10 weeks is my maximum for not working. When I had Dude, I went back to work part time after only 10 weeks of my 12 week maternity leave was over. It’s not that I had to WORK, but I did NEED to get out of the house and interact with adults. [...]
Day One Down
I finished my first official day of work today. Ya, I know I had that half day of training last week, but that doesn’t really count. Today, I was actually in the office from 8-5 and was given an actual email address . . . woo hoo!
After 5 minutes, the marketing lady walked in with [...]
I’m Not New
But I AM nervous! Nervous about that new job I start tomorrow.
I’ve been a technical writer and editor for over 13 years - I’m good at it and I love doing it. The problem is, this is my first real “new” job. My first tech. writing job was while I was still in college . . [...]
I Got My Coin
I went to meet with a guy this a.m. . . . we talked for about an hour about this and that and writing and editing and admin and the future. I signed my name a couple times. He gave me a coin the size of a silver dollar, but a bit thicker, smoother, and [...]

Being Unemployed Is Wreaking Havoc On My Blogging
Ya ya ya - I’ll admit it - I blogged while at work. Every day after lunch, I’d take a good 30 minutes and throw down a post and check on some blogs. Now that I have to actually walk down to my office and turn on my computer, it’s not so convenient to throw [...]
Unnormal
It’s been “unnormal” around here lately.
My last day of work was the 31st. I was the only one that didn’t cry when I left the office. That was kind of weird. I could care less about the office . . . or the job . . . or the company . . . I will [...]
It’s Been 12 Years
I haven’t applied for a job for 12 years. This job I currently have is my first and only professional job, if you don’t count the internship I had to complete college.
I had to update . . . no, create . . . a resume!
I applied for a 6-month contract job today . . . [...]
You’re Fired! Wait - No! OK, Yes You Are . . . Kind Of. . .
So yes I’m still laid off . . . but apparently I get an extra 30 days . . . so I get to keep my job until January 6th. Woo hoo! I’m happy about that . . . I can finish up some things while still taking the PTO I had planned (I’ll really [...]
