I forget I have a presence here. Oops!
Life lately: busy with new job, chasing kids around, and avoiding storms when possible. Last night's was brutal in our region but we managed fine.

Instead of letting people work from home, why not let workers live in the office?

Citigroup is spending £1bn to attract staff back to its Canary Wharf tower. Maybe it’d be easier to provide accommodation — it worked at Bournville after all

I really gotta get back into a marketing plan of sorts for my biz. It's been hard to balance anything the last two months. 😬

A prospective client hired someone to write a synopsis and query letter, only for them to *send her instructions on how to do it herself.* 😳
I am floored at how shifty people can be. Well, not floored because I've seen it before, but the secondhand frustration is real.

I promise to get back into bookish posts. With 3 of the 5 of us finally recovered from the flu the last week has felt like a fever dream (on account of, well, fevers and such).

I need to hold people's hands when I say this:
Your voluntary choice to stop participating in a paying job temporarily is not the same as someone whose family depends on their income and benefits (like health insurance) experiencing a layoff.
The things I've heard as of late...sheesh.

Not me ruminating in the shower about the job interview where I was one of two final candidates two weeks ago and still haven't heard back. Why would I do a thing like that? 😅😬

I had a full conversation with my 3 year old as we laid on the couch this morning about what he wanted to watch on the TV, only to realize he's not even awake as he points to a screen I cannot see behind closed eyelids to request a video. 🤦♀️
Poor kiddo isn't feeling well 😞

I had an amazing call with my son's kindergarten teacher yesterday. It helped during a week (read: month) where I feel like I'm failing as a parent. Turns out he's doing wonderful with classmates and listening, a total 180 from how things often are at home lol.

Would any authors be open to hiring an experienced marketing assistant part-time? I'd still like to continue with my editing biz but the job hunt struggle is REAL so I'm open to other work as well. 💗

Still freaked out about the message awaiting me when Tiktok was put back online for U.S. users. Even though I have 6k followers there I'm really leery of continuing to use it if it's not a propaganda machine.

Funemployment update: there is no update. No word on the job from the interview Wednesday and mostly silence/waiting on all other prospects. 🫤
