Work is quite exhausting at the moment. We're usually only four women at the office, it's a small agency, but everything works well. One of them recently had a baby and she now works a lot from home and a lot less than before. Obviously she knew she was having a baby so they hired someone new, who works there part time, like me. Then one of the other two had a car accident last week. According to the circumstances she is doing fine... only some broken bones and some bruises, but she's still in the hospital and will hopefully be released later next week but then have to stay at home for a while.
So at the moment it's only one of the regular women, me and the new part time employee who works there for 2 weeks now. That means I'm not really working part time at the moment. I still can do a lot of work at home, but I have to be there every day and work at home until late at night. We just got a big order and have to work our asses of to finish it on time. Sometimes I think I don't have to do it. They can't make me work more than my contract says and I don't have to stay up late. But for some reason I care. I work there now for 6 months and from time to time I'm not satisfied with the job, but somehow I like it. And all my co-workers are so nice, I really wouldn't want them to have any trouble. As a mother myself I am more than impressed with the amount of work the woman who just had her first child a month ago still does, and I feel so sorry for the one in the hospital. The accident wasn't even her fault and I'm so glad nothing worse happened! They are all nice and warm people who deserve that I try to do my best, because I'm sure they would do the same for me.
On the plus side I get to do things I couldn't do before. I always had three bosses who told me what to do. Most of the time they were the creative and thinking people and I had to execute their ideas.
No it seems as if I'm going to be responsible for a whole campaign. From the beginning to the end. Next week I will talk to a customer. Alone. I've never did this before. I've only been the one sitting there, listening. So this makes me nervous and excited at the same time. This might be a real opportunity!

Besides that the weather annoys me. I'm not ready for winter. Maybe I should be happy that it's still sunny outside most of the time, but I'm freezing my ass off!
I recently cleared out Ben's an my closets and we both need some warm things for this winter. Guess I'll have to do some shopping as soon as I find the time!
