Deadline
It's almost 10 PM and I'm still at the office.
The production and graphic designer people, the copy editor, plus the managing editor are still working on the final editing for next week's issue. The distribution and circulation manager is still here, too. Finishing up some reports, probably.
I completed all my workload yesterday afternoon. So actually I don't have to stay much later at work today. But somehow, being at the office with only very few people is kind of fun. Even though there music blaring from one of those Mac PCs, the managing editor making and taking phone calls, the graphic people coordinating some edited articles with the copy editor, I find it somewhat peaceful and quiet. Something almost impossible I feel during normal working hours. Well, to be honest, when you work in a media, it's kinda hard to define "normal working hours."
I have always noticed I have this huge sense of belonging to this magazine. It may not be the best magz ever, but the fact that I am part of it makes it harder to leave. Yes, despite everything. I've been here for more than 4 years. It'd be 5 years in April 2007. And I still don't know if I want to leave.
Maybe I love my workmates too much *grins*
Hm. Or maybe I'm feeling much too comfortable and secured I no longer want changes? Is this what people call "settled"? Wow. I know a friend who'd freak out to hear the very word...
