My oh my, it has been a while since I've written in my blog hasn't it?  My normal excuse is that nothing is happening, so I have nothing to write.  My excuse this time is somewhat different.

On April 2nd, I was informed that my office was restructuring and that my position was no longer going to be required, as is.  I was told they were looking to hire an experienced book keeper rather than an overall receptionist.  They had been training me in Quickbooks recently, but from what I was told they needed someone who could take daily control of the finances.  Apparently, paying the bills and entering received bills doesn't quite count.  It's okay, maybe it was time to move on anyway.

My life is in a sort of flux at the moment.  I know what skills I possess, I'm just not sure how best to put them to use.  I can be a good administrative assistant.  I have the skills for the job and I do not mind doing the work.  What I'd love to do is find an administrative position in a.... different environment.  My previous position was in New York's Diamond District.  While I have no problem with the district, my company was so small that a lot of the time I was in the office alone.  Again, this wouldn't really have been a problem if my computer had speakers.  There's something very depressing about sitting in an office for up to nine hours alone, in silence.

Ideally, I would love to find a job in the field of publishing, even an administrative job.  Publishing encompasses so many fields, including the two I am most passionate about: children's literature and photography.  It's also a tremendously hard field to break into, as I'm finding out.  I won't give up though.  I know I'm meant to be in the publishing field somehow, some way.
