I never know what to write when I haven’t posted in a while.  Should I just ignore it and pretend nothing happened or make some lame excuse about being too busy.  Well, both those things are true of the past few months so I guess I’ll just move on.  I have been over on Twitter quite a bit and I found a plugin that posts my tweets on here, though I’m not sure I want to keep using it or not. It’s seems kind of redundant since I think most of the 5 people who read this blog also follow me on Twitter.

Anyway, I’m winding things down at work because I plan on taking the summer off.  I only have a few projects left and then nothing on my schedule until the fall.  I’ll still be technically working, just not on any new design projects.  I haven’t had a break in, well, ever since I started freelancing three years ago and I am so incredibly burnt out right now.  I definitely need some personal time.

I also feel like I’m in a bit of personal rut.  Working from home for three years is…well it changes you.  I’m home alone all day long.  Most weeks Brandon is the only other person I talk to face to face.  Except for maybe, like, the check out person at Target.  And that’s pretty depressing.  It’s not like I was Social Sally before I started doing this, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’ve regressed even more.  Especially living in a new town where I know exactly no one.

So I’ve decided to get a part-time job.  The main purpose is just to get out in the world and interact with real people again.  I don’t want to work long hours (20 per week max, preferably 10-15 so I still have plenty of time to devote to my regular clients), I don’t really even care what I do just as long as it’s easy.  Money definitely isn’t a factor as I know I won’t be making much working so few hours at probably not much higher than minimum wage, but it’s better than nothing.  And honestly, I would work for free if meant just being able to get out the house every day.

Brandon’s going to try to get me a job at his office, which would be preferable since we only have the one car.  If that doesn’t work out, the local library is hiring and I know I can get a job there since I worked at the library for a few years in college.  Either way it’ll be nice to  work with other people, to have a real schedule I have to adhere to and to have to get dressed everyday!

I’m submitting my resume this week, so we’ll see what happens.
