mis_creation: (What am I looking for?)

I have decided not to do script frenzy this year. Not that I did it last year, but I also decided not to do it this year.

I still need to edit my NaNo (which I should've done in March since it is Nation Novel Editing Month), and I have other ideas I want to work on.

Hopefully now that I've got Michael Jr. I can do that.

And I'm working on getting used to the tiny keyboard. I think the most difficult thing is going to be having the pg up and pg down buttons in a different place.

In the meantime, it's awesome to have Michael Jr. with me. He's awesome and cute! And I used him to watch an episode of the Sentinel this morning while I did the dishes. Whoo! Useful entertainment!

I didn't have to work for new boss-lady today. She's still not sure if she's going to keep me on. I sort of get the feeling she's going to keep me around long enough to get her backlog organized, and then she might let me go. She says she needs me to "love" the job. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can "love" being a professional middleman. It's just not something I get that excited about, even if the products are pretty as all hell.

Honestly, I wouldn't be hearbroken if she decides to let me go. I think there's a personality clash going on, as well as communication issues. All of which do not make for an easy work relationship.

*sigh* But, at least this is giving me a preview about what it'll be like to have two jobs. And I'm getting paid tomorrow for my first week or so.

Asking someone to love their job is a strange request, bordering on madness. I could understand if you were in, say, marketing or public safety, then motivation would be important. But if you're just plain competent, what more could possibly be needed? Love letters and candlelight dinners with your boss? How lonely IS this lady?

I know! I was kind of dumbfounded. And she was so *earnest* about it. I'm like, "well...."

Like I said, I don't think I'll be working there for too much longer. But in the meantime, it's money.

But in the course of that sort of sit-rep conversation, I also told her that I'm not sure we communicate effectively or that my learning curve is sharp enough to keep up with her needs. And she nodded. For someone who was reluctant to hire me, she sure seems reluctant to let me go...
