Everything's Everything!

I really wanted to get something up here before now. I've just got way too much stuff going on to keep up these days. Right now I'm sitting at my new job at MNN (yes, I got the job!) with a bad case of laryngitis. I've been sick all week, which sucks for my first week at work. What makes it worse is that I was sick just a couple of weeks ago. Just when I thought I was getting over it, WHAM! I get hit all over again. Between the sickness and the long hours (13 between work and commute each day), I've barely been functional. (Thank God for drugs—and a 4-day schedule.) ;-)

So far, so good on the job. There's always that adjustment period, but the people are great and there's always something different going on here, which keeps it interesting. I look forward to feeling better and being really able to get my feet wet.

Right now, there's a quiet moment, so I figured now's as good a time to post. As far as the blogosphere is concerned, it's going to be a challenge juggling everything. I've got to implement some serious time management techniques to keep it all going. I don't doubt that it'll all work out. If I can get a real job—with benefits—after basically being unemployed for 20 years, then anything's possible!

quiet moments are SO GOOD! I like the ones right before you drift asleep

Sorry I'm so late answering back, Brian, but thanks for stopping by. Quiet moments are getting more and more rare these days with the new job. And so is a good night's rest!

WOO HOOO!!!! A job with BENEFITS!?! That is so awesome!
Congratulations, Mel!

I've been working without benies since November, and it sucks. I'm hoping that will be changing within the next 3 months.

Yeah, benefits are definitely—beneficial. :-)
I pray yours kick in real soon. Just try to stay as healthy as you can in the meantime.
