Oh, right, posting to LJ.

Hi, I've been kind of quiet lately, because I am ridiculously, ridiculously busy. My team is understaffed right now (epic understatement there, and hey, if any of you are technical writers or editors and are job-hunting, drop me a line), so I am currently juggling ...

::stops to count, cross-references with the White Board o' Insanity::

... 4 different projects. All of which are happening right now now NOW.

In addition to work being Do All The Things, homelife is chaotic right now, too. The Stroppy One has a tight deadline, I have a tight self-imposed writing deadline for a project, and hey I probably should get around to writing another Gothic Charm School column, shouldn't I? In addition to wanting to find time to see my friends and family, get some exercise, and start trying to go to bed earlier.

Let me put it this way: I am having to work on reminding myself that pushing and guilting myself to Do All The Things is a quick ticket to exhaustion, CrazyTown, and finding deep emotional resonance and meaning in the lyrics of Pete Wentz^*. Ahahahaha.

Anyway, here, have some Goth at the Office photos:




Witchy Fluevogs! Which I need to take to my cobbler to have stretched slightly, because they're a smidge too tight to wear all day. Thank goodness I cleverly brought an extra pair of flats with me.


Today's outfit.


Yesterday's outfit, and yes, I did feel the urge to run away and join the circus.



... the idea of taking tonight off from my assorted responsibilities and projects sounds REALLY enticing. Hmmm.




^*The new Fall Out Boy album is delightful, and I find a little too much fun in figuring out which lyrics are going to be rattling around in my head when I'm having a Bad Day.

The five year-old next to me thinks your outfits are awesome. I might be sewing petticoats all weekend now. :)

Yeah, those old Swordfish styles tend to run a bit narrow. (I have the buckled version of that one.) They stretch nicely, though.

And hey, I'd be interested in work, except they probably want someone who's not on the opposite side of the country.

If you were local, I would be hounding you for your resume. You're precisely the sort of editor we need.

Do you have a job listing that I can send out? I may know some people who are in WA. And if I don't, I know someone who can spread the word on FB who might. :)

It looks like the listing for the editor position isn't up yet. But yes, my company is hiring, so please pass those listings around! If anyone has any questions, point 'em my way.

How does your company feel about remote workers? I've got a friend here in Mass with 20+ years of experience as a technical writer, who's interested in moving on from her current position.

Geez, those are the witchy boots of teenage!me's dreams. Witchy as hell, and yet somehow understated, or at least not overdone.
