(no subject)
... I didn't forget about Live Journal (thanks to heavenbound29 ;)
But honestly I was surprised looking at the archive entries of mine and the last entry that I wrote was in May 7.
Yes, maybe only '3 months ago', but the reason why the blank feels longer is maybe because the season changed in between.
.....Maybe.
The problem is, I completely forget what I wanted to write about once I settle down to type.
Or, I suddenly start to feel like what I have in my mind is nothing that needs attention particularly.
Like today, I thought of writing something, but as I type I'm already changing my mind. So if I ramble on I'm sorry.
New York City has been so hot lately, just like some other places in the world (like Moscow, for example)...and yet it's rare that hot days continue on like this.
I'm still somehow managing without an AC in my apartment...
I heard from somewhere that people can get dehydrated easily or get sick due to heat in a non-AC apartment...even if you have a fan on. And hence, apparently it's better to drink electrolyte-rich sports drinks (like Gatorade) instead of water.
I'm currently doing fine, though.
Work-wise... Again, I can't believe that it's been already a year working at this gallery place! I've received my first bonus and slight change in salary (which, I must note, not much to begin with anyways). I should be proud of myself and I really am... Only--
If I want to keep improving and aim for higher positions... This is the not right career. There's not much you can move within a family-owned business, especially if it's a max. 4-people operated gallery. I still need to think farther and deeper into my future, and then decide. In the mean time I 'm taking the opportunity to gain more and more skills at this business while I can... I'm currently in charge of a website/online shop, which I never imagined of doing! Webmistress! I also am taking a bite of photography and some graphic design. Nothing compared to a pro's work, but as long as needed, all I do is give my best shot.
Now, my other job, as an animal caretaker at the animals shelter, has become more of a hobby rather than a job.
At least when I'm watching the kittens playing with each other, I feel like that's enough for compensation. Ahh...they sooth my daily stress from urban life....lol. Sometime the staffs there whisper like devil to me "...go on, take one of them home" . Maybe it's a matter of time I give in. (lol). But rather than a kitten, I'd rather take fully grown adult cat if I'm given a choice. Kittens find forever-homes fast.
That's pretty much for my current life... one can say it's work-centric but I'd rather work much while I can.
I feel like there are some other things I missed writing about but maybe some other time. Maybe 3 more months later .
(j/k).
