Julie's Journal

Oh dear, where has the time gone? Oh yeah, I GOT A JOB! I’ve been focusing all my energy into learning all about my new company, and how things work. I have a small advantage though, as I’m working at the same place Michael is, so I’ve heard bits and pieces about the operations for 8 months now. Also working there are two other people that I use to work with long ago, so it’s a reunion of sorts, and a lot of fun. I’m excited to get up in the morning and go to work, and collaborate with my old colleagues that I have such great respect for.

My job title is Social Media Manager and I’ve spent most of my time creating accounts on all the social networking sites, making contacts and well…networking. They also just had to let a programmer go due to poor performance, so today I got to learn some new skills like how to use TightVNC to edit files on the server, and phpMyAdmin to add new products to the database. Tomorrow…Subversion. YIKES! But it’s fun and exciting, and I’m having fun learning new things.

Once I figure out this balancing act of job/family/leisure time again I’ll be updating more often. Until then, have a good one! Miss you all!

I really don’t know how it happened, but I’ve lost my mojo for my blog. I sit here everyday trying to think of something to write about and nothing comes out. It’s weird. Does anyone have any suggestions? I miss blogging.

Do you know how it feels to do things and never get ahead of the game? This is how I feel right now. I’m trying to do the impossible. Maybe I should just give up.

I’m taking a little sabbatical from blogging. I need to focus my attention on other things right now. See you when I see you.

Oooh looky! A new blog post from me. I have absolutely nothing in my brain to write about. I’ve got a couple of medical issues that are weighing heavily on my mind and I really need to see a doctor although we have no medical insurance. Although I don’t think they are life-threatening, they are just really bothersome and annoying me.

The job front…sigh. There is a carrot that’s been dangling in my face for almost a month now, and I’m so damn hungry I just want to gobble it up and swallow it whole. I’m trying to hold my composure together when all I want to do is jump up and down and scream from the rooftops that I landed it, but so far there is no confirmation on that. It looks promising, but a signed contract would be so much better, right!!??

I’m antsy and anxious, and just not comfortable right now. I’m not sleeping well, and when I do sleep, I wake up in a ball of sweat. Michael is shivering under a mound of blankets, and I’m kicking them off like I’m sleeping on the sun.

I’m grumpy and grouchy and snapping at just about everyone, except my kitties, and Devin. I babysat him Monday night and he was just a joy to have. There would be a gazillion babies born each year if they all were like Devin. He loved being swung in the hammock; just look at this smile! He didn’t even seem to mind having the hammock cords embedded into his face either.

I think I just need a pacifier, a blankie, and my mommy. A swing in the hammock would be nice also.
