Being Stuck

Last week I was writing about how I felt suspended and stuck in mid-air in regards to work and working from home. Last week I talked about continuing to find a new creative routine for work; a routine that fits with who I am and my lifestyle. Sometimes I seem so sure and confident whenContinue reading “Being Stuck”

Suspension

Sometimes I feel like I am in a place of…suspension. Like, suspending in mid-air (Not ‘suspense’ as in a mystery novel). Suspension, especially when it comes to work. The days when nothing is urgent, or is pressing or crucial. The days when I could do this or could do that, but if I didn’t doContinue reading “Suspension”

Short Term Work

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve written. I feel this back up, what I call ‘creative constipation’, happening. There are things I want to write about, it’s just taking the time to write about them. And Time, per say, right now, isn’t necessarily an issue — not like when I worked atContinue reading “Short Term Work”

Brokenness

Over the weekend I quit my job. You know, the job that I told you about in my last post, the job that had ‘gone bad’? Yeah, that job. The job that I don’t have anymore. I quit over the weekend. By text. I know. I felt like a jerk. Like a real live jerk.Continue reading “Brokenness”

Summer Update

It has been a very long while since I’ve written anything besides a journal entry. In a way, I’m trying not to feel guilty about this, but why should I feel guilty about not writing? I just enjoy it, so when I don’t make time for it, I’m a little sad. Truth is that 1.Continue reading “Summer Update”

P. S.

I felt like my last post was kind of another mash-up of random thoughts that I’m just stringing together about healing and God and temporary stuff, in the context of It’s Worth It. I feel like I’m trying to find the words that express how I feel inside which comes out in a conglomeration ofContinue reading “P. S.”

Where You’re Going

Last summer at work we were busy with shipments coming in. It seemed like not a month went buy when we weren’t receiving pallets and pallets of new clothing to sell. Having been at my job for a while and knowing the ropes of how things worked, the SKUs of the products, how our overstockContinue reading “Where You’re Going”

Slow Work

I was at work a couple of weeks ago, in our not-so-lovely warehouse, counting our Christmas inventory. I knew this was something that I was going to have to do because my manager gave me a heads up about it, so I knew it was coming and was trying not to dread it. Counting isContinue reading “Slow Work”

What a Travel Agent Does

My husband has been working in the travel industry in some form or another since he graduated from college. He currently works for an agency that does leisure travel. Family vacations, honeymoons, destination weddings, resorts, Europe, Disney, scenic railways, cruises, etc. When we were dating and he would meet my friends for the first timeContinue reading “What a Travel Agent Does”

Role Reversal

I’ve been at my new job at Hawaii Hangover for almost, but not quite, a year. It was a semi-rough transition for me last year. Lots of SKUs to learn and getting used to the work flow and dealing with over-stressed managers. It’s been easier lately. The over-stressed manager left the company last week (SeeContinue reading “Role Reversal”
