promises, promises

I feel like that bad boyfriend/girlfriend who keeps promising to be more thoughtful and attentive and never comes through. Oh, poor old Ham & Cheese on Wry. I've been struggling with shutting it down but I just can't. See, about 5 years ago (just passed my blog anniversary last week), this blog marked a new beginning in my life. I started a new job at a new company and I had a new lease on life. Fast forward to now, I'm still at the same company but in a new job in a different department... and it's bleeding me dry. While the circumstances are different, I'm experiencing that same work-related dread I dealt with back in 2004. Not good.

I put the word out to friends and former colleagues so hopefully my work situation will change soon. In fact, I'm running out in a few to meet with someone who may extend me a professional lifeline. I've also been soliciting "What am I good at?" advice from trusted and respected friends. They gave me some good ideas and advice, most of which involve me taking classes of some sort. But I'm okay with that. I'm ready for something completely different.

So, the blog gets a stay of execution. I'm hoping for a burst of creativity once I free myself of the current stranglehold. In the meantime, I finally got my Twitter account up and running. I can certainly manage to produce 140-character brain farts with a bit more ease than full-on blog posts. I think. Won't you kindly please follow @curlymcdimple?

Thanks for your patience,
Curly
