Mostly I work. I control the inventory databases. I total up invoices. Sometimes when there has been a large volume of sales I assist with the bookkeeping. Also, whenever there is something requiring a second set of eyes to check over, such as last month's commissions, I am that second set of eyes. I get to do this while wearing my DBZ hoodie, but pyjamas are unacceptable still where I work.
I'm taking online courses. I'm one of them "lifelong learners" who wants all the information. I want to learn SQL. I want to learn Python. Computer stuff is a lot of fun if you're willing to be patient with it.
I went back "home" recently. Basically straight from work to airport to his house, and then from his house to airport to work. I like to pretend it's just a long business trip. I'm just doing it so I can work anyway. We had a wonderful time. We went to the park. We went into town. We visited lots of old friends. And sometimes we just hung out on the couch and watched TV. There's gotta be some obscure German word for "being a guest in someone's house, being told TV's all yours, and not being able to figure out their remote control." But when you get to see your better half about twice a year, sometimes even average stuff like hanging out on the couch and watching TV together seems like the most wonderful thing.
My tumblr blogs get updated far more often. They are about pictures. Sometimes pictures are easier than words.
the place where all my photos go to die
same, but with paintings instead
Thanks.
well those jobs do suck i guess, but i did laugh at the DBZ hoodie part tho, i think it's cool and at least you're somewhat comfy
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! Thanks for reading and commenting!
DeleteIt's actually an ok gig. I mean, being the second pair of eyes makes one feel powerful in a way. Sometimes everything balances the way it's supposed to, which is wonderful, and sometimes we have to make a project of chasing after bits of paper, and maybe that's ok too. I like the numbers, and I've always liked working with large sets of data (see: my masters' dissertation. or don't because it's terrible and i want a do-over on that one), and holding this position has really helped me see where I can fit in the world.
I like the casual atmosphere where I'm at too, but it makes me sad that there are nice suits in my closet that haven't been touched in months. Maybe at my next workplace they'll be useful again.
