Goodness, how time passes.
Do you ever really and truly stop to realize why your life seems to graze past you like a cat in the night? If you don't catch yourself, you might just trip over it.
Thankfully, that hasn't been the case for me over the past couple of months. If I recall correctly (and honestly, I don't care to put the effort in to finding out), I haven't updated my little speckling of readers on quite a lot of the things that have happened since the year started off.
There is so much to say, good grief. Where do I even begin?
I'm going to start with...work. Because it's easily the most fulfilling thing that has happened to me since January (when I last updated, holy cheese)....but I'm not going to go into all the "dramatic" details or whatever. You know what? I'm just going to make a simple timeline. I guess I need to ease myself back into telling the world my opinions (hahahahaha like that ever stops).
1. Got a seasonal job with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in January and worked daily during the actual rodeo.
2. Did a nanny job for a little over a month and a half for a woman who works with my dad. Two kids, 2 and 4, for a few hours a day during the week.
3. I GOT A REAL JOB. As of three weeks ago today, I became a PR assistant at Foster Marketing. Foster is a marketing and PR firm that caters to companies in the oil, gas and energy markets. I write, I edit, I help as much as I possibly can. While my position is currently part time, it is (pretty much, anyway) guaranteed to become full time within the next couple of months.
It's so exciting that I can actually say that I'm employed and that I'm working for a company that has a future for me. I was really starting to exhaust myself, holding my hopes out for these jobs which seemed ideal, with companies that seemed exciting. But Foster pretty much dropped into my lap, and I couldn't be happier in the position I'm in right now. I'm so lucky to have found a job where my work is appreciated and NEEDED. I think that's something that was really bringing me down for a while there. I felt so negative about my place in a career because I felt unnecessary and...extraneous.
The group of people I'm working with are pretty spectacular. Between all the staff meetings and projects, they find time to catch up on each other's personal lives (sounds invasive, but it's nice to have people legitimately interested in your home life, even if you don't have much to say about it).
Other than work, nothing much is going on. I've been traveling a bit, but not very far from home as my funds don't really allow for long trips.
Life is...good. Not complete (but really, when is life ever actually complete?), but good.
I promise I will update more regularly. I can't promise that what I post will be particularly interesting, but whatever.
Peace and love, y'all. And biscuits. Because biscuits are delicious and everyone loves biscuits.
