The world as I know it
I think my job is crushing my soul. Don't get me wrong. I am extremely grateful to have a job that supports my family in such a comfortable manner; but I am unaccustomed to the breakneck pace of daily quotas in the face of the inevitable learning curve associated with learning a whole new corporate structure, policies, politics and software. I never realized the full extent of how sheltered I was in my former employment.
At any rate, things are - and will continue to be - fine. Really. Time will cure all of my self-imagined deficiencies. Though I am astonished every day by the team's continued satisfaction with my production, the numbers don't lie. Maybe I am lying to myself, but it has always been that way. I am my own toughest critic. Most of the time.
In other news, I am trying to make the majority of Christmas gifts this year. When I was packing and moving house, I made note of how much stuff we had accumulated. Sure, home-made gifts are stuff too, but I would hope that a scarf is easier to use and store than your average tchotchke.
Anyway, that's all that's fit to print at the moment. My life is busy, but good.
