I’ve got nothing

Ever have one of those days where you want to write but have nothing to say? I’ve been perusing my diary from 4 years ago, I’ve been perusing my favorites’ diaries, and I’ve been taking a few turns with the random button (although I find that rarely yields much that I enjoy). Still, I’ve got nothing.

So my IT job has morphed into something that more resembles a travel agent. Most of my job is supposed to be project management for a set of inter-dependent applications. I’m in a special program for recent college graduates, so part of my job is also giving back to that program. I’m in charge of a committee that oversees the “onboarding” of new program members. At any rate, we’re organizing orientation at the moment, which involves flying people in from 3 locations in the U.S. an 3 international locations. I can’t tell you how many flights I’ve looked up, booked, changed, rebooked, re-looked up, etc etc. I practically am a full-time travel agent. This committee is supposed to be maybe 25-40% of my time. In reality it’s more like 80%.

Hey it’s cool, at least I keep busy these days. Thank god for Jeff (my right hand); without him I would be doing a worse job than I already am. Plus regardless my manager practically thinks I’m a God which just shows you how out of touch with the project he really is. Yeah I fixed all the shit that was happening, but if everyone just did their job in the first place we wouldn’t have had to fix the shit.

Actually I’m really looking forward to orientation. I get to bring Jeff and Jon with me – and Adam’s already there. A nice little bootcamp reunion. My best friends from work + a trip paid for by my company + 1 week + 4th of July free = amazing. Add beer and stir. No really it’s going to be a blast. Although I need to not get severely drunk this time. After all I am supposed to be relatively in charge most of the time.

I still have nothing to say. And I’m bored with what I did say. I’m out.
