I really hate that I’m writing the obligatory “I’m Not Dead!” post – but I’m going to.
I haven’t updated for a long time. But as they say, Who is worse shod than a shoe makers wife? Not that I am shoemaker with a wife. Or a shoe maker or wife, period – but you know what I mean. I’ve been spending so much time working with computers – writing a well-thought out blog post is pretty much the last thing I want to do.
But here we are.
I graduated college in December, and shortly after began working as an online advertising coordinator for a publishing company. How I happened upon such a sweet gig, I couldn’t tell you - maybe dumb luck or the always-deadly combination of optimistim and persistence, but either way I feel very lucky. Lucky not only that I got a job right out of college, but also a job in my field, and most importantly – a job that I love.
Yes, I realize it’s entirely possible that one of my bosses or co-workers could find this post (hi!) but I swear i’m not just saying that I like my job because of that possibility. I really do. Seriously – I look forward to going to work. I feel good about promoting a product that’s doing the world some good, utilize skills I learned in school, and I Love my coworkers (ok, that last one really was just in case they read this).
All work and no play make Mindy a dull girl – and make her blog posts pretty dull as well. Since graduating college I’ve had less free time, but now I spend my free time doing things I really like. I think because in college I didn’t appreciate free-time as much as I do now that I work 9 – 7ish, Monday through Friday. So Saturdays and Sundays are to be enjoyed to the max. In the last few months, my friend Sean and I have been doing alot of exploring and adventuring around Connecticut. Vineyards, Hiking, Kayaking – so on. Mostly in support of his latest and greatest blog, The Connecticut Weekender.
It’s interesting – now that I’m insanely busy, I fill every minute of my limited free time with awesome things to do. I’m enjoying life more now. Make sense?
I’ve been more consistent about updating my tumblr blog. I treat it more like a combination between my shared items on google reader & twitter updates. Not as well thought out (not that this post is particularly well thought out), and more sporadic.
I think I’ll end this post with a few life recommendations, based on anecdotal evidence.
- Singing in your car during the morning commute is generally embarassing; however, singing along during the evening commute is great and will put you in a great mood.
- Listening to music as you work will make you happier. Use Pandora to listen to music you like, and find new music without even trying. Here’s a link to mine if you’re into it.
- Twitter, much like any social networking tool, becomes cooler the more time to put in to it.
That’s it. I’ll try update more often, but I make no promises.
