November too...

It's been so long since I've posted here that when I went to type in the URL, Firefox didn't "remember" it for me. Thank goodness the old brain still has something on the computer, I guess.

This month, well last month, has been a whirlwind. Again. This time it was work that kept me so busy. September it was finding an apartment, dealing with the boyfriend issues, and getting ready to move. October it was moving, dealing with the boyfriend issues, coming to terms with the fact that my boss quit, and .... CRAP MY STUPID INTERNET CONNECTION BROKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah, and preparing for Halloween.

I'm going to kill TimeWarner.

November brought with it the realization and reality that my job got a whole lot harder. We printed over 100,000 80-page prospectuses and sent out tens of thousands of in-house-designed direct mail related to our new fund launch. What the hell does all that mean, you ask? Well, that's what I was asking at the beginning, but we somehow managed to do all that, update our website reflecting the same, and put together a whole bunch of other material. Ok, enough of my boring life, but suffice it to say that because I was so busy, I was sending my laundry out to be washed (as in someone else washing my undies... yum). However, I wasn't in the neighborhood during the time that they were open, so by Friday, I was wearing my suit to go to a factory in New Jersey.

Yes, I was in a mailhouse in New Jersey at 8am with my driver... I told you it's been nuts. Only a few months ago I was plodding away at database management sitting with my headphones and working independently, and now I'm managing processes with multiple vendors, coordinating mailings across several different mailhouses and it is wildly different. Sometimes I just want to build a database... so I am in the background.

I told you I'd stop talking about work, didn't I? Maybe tomorrow.
