A year ago I was blissfully unemployed. Now I have a job that doesn't completely suck, but is rather dull. Last week, just to spice things up, I erased half of the accounting system. It wasn't actually on purpose. I was left to figure out how to do something. I told them I didn't understand what I was doing and that I needed training. They told me to figure it out. I did. And in the process...
That was good for a few dramatic moments. I offered to relinquish my accounting responsibilities and go part time -- a god send idea if ever there was one. But instead I was subjected to a half-hour meeting where I was told what a great employee I am. And I also got three -- THREE -- e-mail messages reinforcing how well respected I am. I have it in writing! Try to fire me now.
But, I'm making a decent salary for a pretty low-stress job and I have all kinds of time and energy to do my creative stuff. This weekend is my first bridal shoot with models that I've hired. I'm pretty excited about it. At the risk of losing the anonymity of this blog, I may not be able to resist the urge to post one of the pictures here. Stay tuned!
