So Much to Say . . . Nothing at all

I'm in the process of making a career transition. Same company, same department, but what I will be doing is so much different that my old job. I've been working at an administrative assistant. I'll be doing internal communications. When I decided, in college, I would study Public Relations I had no idea what that really meant. I knew I'd be able to use my ability to influence people, but wasn't sure beyond that. I soon learned that the other girls studying PR were quite competitive. I never understood why. So, I removed myself from that world of battle and crossed the street to the English department. I enjoyed my new major and graduated with better knowledge of persuasive writing and literature then I would have in PR. So, through a long series of events, here I am. This isn't exactly the world of PR I expected, but it is quite interesting to be in communications.

I have so many ideas about what can be done in my new position, but am still trying to finish my old job. Daily I am taking on more new tasks, but am "chomping at the bit" to jump in head-long.

29th Birthday

Well, today is my birthday. I was reminded this morning I have not made an entry here since October. So, here I am. One year to go until people stop saying "oh, you are just in your twenties." Yes, I know. For those of you any older then me, you are sitting there saying, "You should be thankful you are still in you twenties." You have heard the saying, "Youth is wasted on the young." Do you wonder why that is? It's because the young have yet to experienced the things that make you wise up about what you "should have done." Youth is wasted on they young because we are too stupid to know what it will be like later. Not out of ignorance, but out of inexperience.

So ends my rant for my last birthday of my third decade. I will enjoy this year. I get to make New Years resolutions and move up a year in age all at the same time. Starting fresh all happens in one stroke for me. I jump to my feet, wash the decay of last year off and set out to meet another year with a spring in my step. My resolution is to enjoy this year. The last year of what is considered "youth."

Happy New Year and God Bless!
