i'm taking this blog thing way too seriously...

...that's why it took me so long between posts. I keep thinking I want to write something that's good and "writerly", and then I don't end up finishing anything (plenty of drafts though). That and I've had one issue or another with my computer and/or Internet connection since I moved to the new apartment, so I haven't been on the 'net much except at work.

My work has been a source of stress for the past two months because of the constant flux. The manager who hired me has been laid off, but they were nice enough to find me another department that needed my help, so I've been shuffled around doing random projects for them. It hasn't been all boring, though, and I even got to do some writing (ad copy for an online auction). My new manager is very impressed with my performance and sings my praises to everybody who passes through her office (she has a loud voice). I was training with another team today on using their customer database, and they praised me for picking it up so quickly. That's all really nice and I'm grateful for the comments - my previous managers never appreciated my work like they do. But I'm still a temp and the company is still in bad shape, so I'm job searching once again.
