This is not a fic post!
Some things have happened since I last updated you on my crazy boring life.
Having two jobs has been really exhausting so I haven't been that good at keeping up with friends, either on the internets or on Line etc. But it's been good. It still feels weird to actually get paid money for my work, so a few days ago when I got the email with a copy of the payout order for my salary, I may have squeed out loud. ;)
I've also accidentally volunteered/promoted myself onto the sales team. Ooops. Since I started working at the company some... hm. 4 months ago? Something like that. Anyway, since then I've been working on consolidating all the various contact lists that a number of past sales people have been using in their work. Banks, city councils, HR departments all over the country, insurance companies, small companies, big companies, corporations, hotels... But I noticed that the one person they currently have on sales doesn't really work the lists. He doesn't email many contacts, even though he does call a few... So, when I met with the CEO last weekend, I voiced my frustration at seeing all these contacts just sitting there, ignored, while the company sorely needs to sell tickets to the upcoming shows as they tour the country. (It's a musical/entertainment production company.)
So, now I'm on the sales team! I've been emailing a bunch of places with a Christmas offer for their employees, and got a few good reactions. Not everyone's interested, of course, but enough to probably boost sales for those cities. And I'll keep working on a different offer after Christmas, and then a different one after New Years. I'm determined to help them fill those arenas with people! :D
Also, it seems like I have lyme disease, and probably contracted it during the summer of 2018... that was the last time I got a tick bite anyway. It sort of explains why I'm fatigued all the time and it never really gets better... (and also some other weird symptoms) *shakes fist in the general direction of bacteria*
This year, there's been very little response to the
seasonofkink Holiday Season challenge, but I guess there are just too many challenges going on this time of year. It's okay though. I've already finished and posted my (first) fill for it. And I think I'll grab a new combination of prompts for another fic. It's the fun part of the Holiday Season, getting to choose whatever kinks that *I* want in my fic! lol
We'll see how much writing I'll get done during the holidays...
Oh right, I also need to buy some paid time for my Dreamwidth account while they have their December offer!
