The Old Job

I've not been very good about blogging lately - mostly because the last couple of weeks have been extra busy as I've been working at both jobs... by the time I get home every night I've got just enough energy to make dinner and crawl into bed to start over again the next day.  Tomorrow will end the "two weeks of hell" and then I'll be on my new schedule, working at the Athenaeum three days a week and doing freelance the rest of the week.  I can't wait!

Today was my last day working at the UIndy bookstore.  While it's not my ideal job (my feet don't appreciate eight solid hours of standing), I was glad for the opportunity to work and my manager was particularly generous with me, giving me hours even when she didn't really need to and working around my schedule when necessary.  I enjoyed the people I worked with and I LOVE the students I met... I'm a people-person and this job certainly gave me my fill.  I'm glad for the next chapter I'm embarking on, but I'm going to miss this one...

To celebrate my leaving (I don't think it was intended to be quite as mean as that phrase sounds), I was treated to a free chai tea in the morning and a pizza party for lunch.  While I did manage to squeeze some work in, I mostly had a fun day saying good-bye to folks and goofing off with the customers who came in.  I was even given a drawing by Mica Russell, one of the student workers:


It's a pretty good likeness - though I'm not sure my shoelaces are really that stiff!  It also gives me the idea that it would be fun to collect drawings people make of me... hmmm... any takers?!?

Anyway, things are alright here.  I look forward to a little quieter schedule to come and more opportunity (and energy) to visit this page... there's a lot I've been wanting to blog about!

Stay tuned...
