I mean, who else gets asked to layout a six-month project calendar and help brainstorm planning for a cross-country seminar on Monday, get crosstrained on recording equipment and draft a annual budget on Tuesday, and design a flier and setup a MySpace page on Wednesday?
And tomorrow I'm going to be handling correspondence, ordering inventory, and writing webpage content.
It really is wonderful and fullfiling and purposeful even if it keeps me busybusybusy.
Another thing I'm having to learn to do? Focus my time/energies/etc so that I don't deplete my creative output with work-related things. It was easy - well, easier - to write and read, especially write - on my own free time when my job was more of a show-up-and-take-up-space kind of job.
Now I'm using so much of that wonderful right-brain stuff for work that I've kinda lost interest/intensity in doing it for personal enjoyment. And I don't wanna do that.
That was kind of my reaction when it got brought up. "Oooo-kay, guess I'm going to be doing this"
(Actually it does make sense.
We just kicked off a program of monthly Parenting Q&A sessions especially targeted at young moms. The intention is to offer them support, advice, resources, and a chance to meet and share with others like them.
Now these people are almost all "young" as in our age give - or TAKE! - a couple years. (As in, a good 10+ of the people who were there tonight were born in the '80s.)
And among a large portion of this group that we already know, apparently the "in" thing is to have a MySpace.
Hence, a blogsite/MySpace is a potentially highly effective communication and marketing tool for this audience. (By the time I got home the page had already been friended by one of the gals)
.... I still feel pretty silly researching myspace layout codes and stuff.
