Quick update

I type this now between gobs of work, busy out-of-town weekends, and coffee. Lots of coffee. I know I’ve been absent, but I promise my return is near and I have some real gems in store for everyone.

What’s happened:
1. I got over my insanely huge fear of flying, thanks to EMDR therapy.
2. I went to New York to visit my best friend for a week.
3. I was a bridesmaid (first time!) at a quaint wedding in Middle-of-Nowhere, Pennsylvania.

And most importantly…
4. I got a promotion! The day I got back from vacation, my boss asked me if I would like to be the research manager for the state of Texas. Huzzah!

What does all of this mean to you, dear reader? My brain has been stewing on so many new posts, I hardly have time to get them all out. Remember my post on bursty workers? It’s about to get bursty in here.

Upcoming posts:
Why you should vote for Obama, even if you don’t agree with the issues
Finding pieces of your ‘old’ self
The power of No
Leaning into your fear
Bohemian me vs. corporate me

I’m sure there are more a-brewin’ but that should be enough to keep your eyes peeled!

so that explains your curious and noticeable absence :) congrats on the promotion, and thanks for the hint of posts to come - I especially look forward to "Bohemian me vs corporate me" - a title I could well have penned myself ;)

Ah, you're so committed! I could never list out future posts. I write a lot but rarely hit publish... looking forward to your upcoming posts. Congrats on the promotion too :)

Congratulations on your promotion! Hopefully e-mailing me back is on your to-do list as well :-)

@matt: Yep! The NYC trip followed closely by the promotion brought the bohemian vs. corporate thing into sharp light. Can't wait to write it!

@eathan: Thanks!

@lance: Awesome! The Obama post has been brewing for about a week or two. I don't like to talk about politics on my blog (note: I've never mentioned it!), but it relates to marketing... that's a teaser.

@rebecca: At this point, if I don't put them I might never post them. Now I have to!

@honey: Thank you, and yes, a response is on the way! If it weren't such a lengthy response I would've done it sooner. ;)

lack of updates left me shirty
dust built up on good 'ole qwerty

remove my frown
and plan to get my hands all dirty

What kind of market research are you doing. I too am a market research analyst in Colorado and would be intersted in hearing more about your job.

@hubs: I don't disclose specifics about my dayjob on the blog. Email me at holly@worklovelife.com and we'll talk. I love connecting with other market researchers, especially in my favorite state!
