Irregular Update
So, it occured to me that since nothing horrific has happened to me recently, I haven't been posting. But, I also realized that I could take some time to post some regular, normal news, rather than the life shattering horrific news I usually post here. So, without further ado...
My job rocks. Like, completely and totally, in all ways. My co-workers are great, my supervisor is super-keen, and everyone else that I interact with on a daily basis is groovy. I feel like what I do is important, perhaps not on a global scale, but certainly on a personal level, and it is something that I am good at, and something that I can continue to learn about and get better at doing.
I started working for Disney in early February. Specifically, I work for Disney Interactive Media Group. I was hired as a Player Support Representative (PSR). The basic job description was something along the lines of helping to moderate chat in Disney's online games, with the goal of keeping players civil to each other, and keeping children safe from undesirable influences. I was promoted a little less than a month after I started the job, and am now a lead, which means rather than review the chat logs myself, I now help manage the PSR's, which is very rewarding. It is the first time in my life that I was promoted to a position I felt capable of handling, which is strange and wonderful.
My work schedule is a little strange, and is going to be getting substantially stranger starting in May, but as I said, I love what I do, so for the most part I don't mind. It does mean seeing less of Amy, which completely and utterly sucks, but having this job means that the goal of living together is closer than it has been in recent months. It also means that I won't be around the SCA quite as much as I like to be, but I am hoping to still be in touch with all of my friends, and I will certainly be attending every event that my schedule allows.
If I am less available to hang out casually, please do not take offense. My free time has become a somewhat rarer thing, so a lot of activities are going to be cut over the coming months. It is certainly my hope that as I continue to learn and grow in my job, schedules will continue to shift and change, and I will someday be allowed to come outside and play.
Until then, be well, love well, and be loved.
