After a Very Very Long Hiatus

I kind of gave up on the blogging sphere and took a very long break...obviously.

Life got hectic, the novelty wore off and readership was down (not that it was very up to begin with).

But I thought maybe I'd start trying to update again and include useful things.

Ignoring the useful things for now:

Here has what has happened up til about now.

1. I was offered my temp job and became a full time, benefit eligible employee. This happened towards the end of July.
2. In the process, before I was offered the job, I almost moved to Massachusetts without a job and was going to strike it out there while living with my sister and brother-in-law. A very tough decision after I was offered the job. I struggled for about a week before deciding to stay. Who was I to spit in the face of a paying job with benefits?
3. After accepting the job, I was told, because of budget cuts, that my time was going to be split between two positions...
4. So now I am an Administrative Assistant and a Career Coordinator. Two full time jobs being done in half the time, about 19 hours a week for each, give or take a couple hours here and there.

So needless to say I was out of my head from August-September, while I was getting used to the idea, being trained in a new position, and taking up more responsibility that was left out on the temp job.

But! Experience is experience...and even though at times I feel like I'm going to strangle someone if they ask me to make 4 copies for them when the copier is larger than life right next to me, I have coped. I am learning.

I do have to say that I really have learned how to beef up my resume and cover letter.

Wandering off...

I've gotten the sense that this blog may have meandered away from the supposed intention of being helpful to college grads or ones to be.

Then I thought about it.

It's supposed to be about life after college. Nobody said that meant it had to be useful or insightful in anyway.

Then I realized that I lead a fairly boring, day in day out kind of life and it really can't be that entertaining to read about.

Today, for example, it's Mom's day. So I gave my mom her present this morning, went to church, came home had lunch. I made her strawberry shortcake and tea then flopped on the couch for most of the rest of the afternoon and watched a marathon of "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?" Which sadly, in between laundry and packing for the next week of puppy sitting that I'm doing, inspired me too browse through wedding dresses and start planning a wedding. A wedding, mind you, that is not on the horizon as of yet.

Moving on.

I heart Amazing Race! The finale was tonight, so of course I needed to watch. Yay! Asian kids for winning! I liked them. :) I was tossed between the brother/sister Asians and the Mom and Deaf son. I thought that they were two of the best teams on the race and would have been happy if one or the other had won.

Now it's iron chef time.

So you see, this is my life. Work and being absorbed by cable tv now that I have it. At least until my mom decides to downgrade to basic cable, in which no more wedding shows or iron chef for me. :(

That is that and if do anything that's actually remotely interesting, I'll be sure to tell all of you about it so that it may inspire your post-college life as well...

Props

I'd like to give a thumbs up to Cake Wrecks for making my mundane, after college life a little bit happier. I heart this blog. :) (and thanks to my boyfriend who introduced me to the blog).
