Busy Bee

With all these career meetings, future venture planning an lack of sleep, who has the time to blog? I need to make up for some missed days. Sorry, NaBloPoMo. I’m still thinking of you every day.

Resigned.

I put my notice in at work today. I only have 7 days left. Woot!

And now for LOST.

All You Need Is…

Got tickets to see the Love show on May 22 @ The Mirage. Finally! Las Vegas, here we come!

On another note… remember that post I made recently talking about changes? Well… I’ve officially been given a new job offer. It’s pretty terrific. It consists of a 32-hour work week, while my take home pay is the same as I make now in a 40-hour week. Plus, fully-paid medical, IRA benefits, vacation, sick time, essentially the whole package.

This means, I will no longer have to work for that horrible shit hole, stupid excuse for a decent work environment, possible-money-laundering-cover-up, sketchy company again as of June. In fact, I may just make my last day May 20th, and celebrate leaving by going to Vegas. Then spending the rest of the week in leisure. Yeah, that sounds good.

But here’s the kicker. I got a phone call from an old editor today.. and it turns out a new reporter slot just opened up again. And he thought of me. So… things might work out even differently from my current plan. Who knows!?

I have to admit that I really miss journalism. Being a writer in any capacity is something to be thankful about, that’s for sure. But I miss knowing things and meeting people. I even miss the inverted pyramid and using my AP Style Book every day. And I miss the newsroom. I really, really, REALLY miss the newsroom.

I won’t get my hopes up about it though – there are always office politics to overcome and negotiations to be made. But either way, it doesn’t hurt to have a meeting. And either way, I’m going to have a new job by June. And that’s what REALLY matters.

Once again, things are looking up.
