Zzzz...

I am getting to this point where my days are less filled than they were initially - one batch of content gets shipped off and never needs to be seen again while another has slowed to a few weekly updates. Even the credits are beginning to be wrapped, which makes me look at the winter and wonder what I'll be doing with it other than being cold out in the main, freezing area.

Yesterday, I was coughing a lot and my head was killing me, so I went to work from home for the afternoon. Typically, the people that were totally missing without even a note or call ended up showing up after I went home. However, after reception was yet again pulled off for duties unrelated to her job here, I was having some difficulty figuring out what exactly I was doing attempting to power through a day when there was no one to pay attention or care. This is becoming the case more and more often... I feel like the only reason they care about what we're doing is they're paying us. It's sort of like when you're a kid and you have a best friend, and then they get a newer, cooler best friend and want to hang with them the whole time. We're the sucky old best friend. Or something. I think people honestly feel somewhat abandoned and without direction. The office is empty, too quiet, too many people get pulled away without anyone knowing where they are or why they're gone.

It's not terribly motivating.

Job Search Update: Applied for an entry-level job on a Very Cool Show doing PA Web-Stuff. I am IDEAL for this job. IDEAL. The question is, whether I get called for it or not. Sally's given me a contact at the Broadcaster to call and ask for ideas/help - but I'm not sure if the contact will be able to do that much. I'm still hopeful... I would really like this opportunity.

I am the opposite. My condo looks like it was searched by an intruder and I don't seem to have enough time for everything that needs doing. Distractions. Procrastination. General funkiness.

BTW, good luck on the job front.
