For some reason, I thought it had only been about a month since my last post. [Looks at last post] Um, yeah… so I was off by a month. But, life has been rather interesting in the last two months.<\/p>\n
I had an interview at the end of June that I approached as being more of an opportunity to practice interviewing than as a real chance at a job (I didn’t think I met the qualifications well enough). A couple weeks later, I was offered the position. So, the end of July was my final two weeks at the tech company that had employeed me for the last seven years. Apparently, I was more ready to leave than I had originally thought. I spent two weeks with short timers disease trying to document how I spend my days so my coworkers could attempt to fill the gap I was leaving behind. <\/p>\n
August 1 was the first day at my new job as the Documents Archivist at a local museum. The last four weeks have been spent settling into how things work and getting to know my new coworkers. It’s a big change. I’m doing what I really enjoy and what I’ve been training to do. I now work with about 45 people rather than 150. <\/p>\n
So, that’s the mean reason I haven’t posted in two months or why a couple days ago was my first time logging into Ravelry for the first time in several weeks. <\/p>\n
In knitting news, I’ve finished my sister’s socks (need to wash them and take pics). I’ve started myself a pair of pota-whatsits (aka Pomatomus) out of some STR in Mustang Sally from last year’s sock club. I also started myself a plain grey, st st cardigan (well, not so plain… I’m going to attempt steeks with this one). I think I’m going to rip out my Mystery Stole 3. The yarn just isn’t working they way I want it to (which is probably a good thing since I had officially decided on wing vs. no wing). I think I’m going to pick up Melanie’s Leda’s Dream for the Wool Alpaca. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
