I feel like how my grandmother must have felt when cars were invented. She was probably knew they would come in handy, but also probably sure she’d never learn how to use one.
I am using InDesign for work right now and I honestly don’t know how to use it. Now I know that I’ve said similar things before (like when I had to learn how to use Dreamweaver), but this is different. I have no actual interest or personal stake in learning this program. I highly doubt I will ever need to make a personal newsletter or a brochure. I would simply use this handy blog to keep my peeps informed.
Why oh why can’t I just blog about what’s going on the my department instead of having to put together an excessively wordy, very ugly, and time consuming NEWSLETTER!?
If the prospective readers are ANYTHING like me, they they will either chuck it in the bin or lose it under a stack of junk mail. At this point I am so desperate to complete the project I’m actually considering sneaky, underhanded ways of convincing my boss that I already sent the newsletter and her copy must have gotten lost in the mail.
It’s been a while since I sat down to properly write anything. I have missed you, dearest blog. But I confess I couldn’t think of anything to write about.
After the whirlwind of December and vacation in the beginning of January, life feels rather anticlimatic. Reality is crushing…sitting in my office, dealing with monotony, you know—the usual. I try to spice things up with the Girl Friday equivalent of resolutions. I don’t make resolutions, because I know I can’t usually keep them, but I do try to do things differently that need changing!
More exercise is always a good thing, and so is not eating like a frat boy with the munchies. I attempt to be a domestic goddess, make sound financial decisions, and take my vitamins. In essence, I try to be a fully actualized adult.
How’s that working out, you ask?
- I’m hitting the pilates mat and treadmill a few times a week.
- I made a chicken pot pie from scratch. (Okay, I cheated on the crust.) I didn’t eat it one sitting.
- I cleaned out my savings account to buy a new car.
- I still forget to take my vitamins.
Well, two out of the four is not so bad. How is everyone else doing so far in 2008?
