resurrecting the blog

Oh, it's been a long, long time.

I'm back, and I've missed blogging terribly, and I've missed reading my favourite blogs.

Why, you may or may not, ask?

Because, finally, after 10 long and adventurous months, I have a job. (A JOB!!!!!) A JOB -- in journalism -- copy and layout editing -- my dream job.

In mid-November I was offered -- and after considering it for about 10 seconds -- accepted, a three-month contract at Metro News, where I did my Ryerson internship at this time last year. I have been told the offer is likely to extend beyond the three months.

So, I've been getting used to 40-hour weeks again. (When one has been out of the daily work force for awhile, it's easy to forget how much time a full work schedule actually fills.) I've been adjusting, or trying to adjust, to rock-star hours working the 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. shift. Sleeping until noon can seem deliciously sinful, but sleeping the day away is not fun.

And just lots of adjustments and challenges, but all wanted and desired, and full of promise.

I'm back now, blogging, because I have this week between Christmas and the New Year off. And, it is play, and we all need to play.
