No, I haven't dropped off the ends of the earth...

I see that my last blog was in May...May...MAY???? Okay...no excuses...just moving forward. One of the things I've learned on my job is that my organizational skills aren't as good as I thought they were...I used to think I was organized but juggling client files and learning new processes has really shown me how much I don't know and how much I have to learn and makes me wonder if I will ever figure it out! I need to figure out a better system and stick to it! It also looks like we may be going through some structuring changes at work...I think they will be good ones but I'm going to have to make some changes in my work habits as I may begin working more from home. I can see the pros and cons of this arrangement. I like getting up in the mornings and getting ready and leaving the house. When I don't leave to go to a job, I tend to just become a bit lazy. So, if this does happen, I'm going to have to change my ways! I already know that I have to rearrange my apartment to set up some office space in my bedroom. I'll have to revisit a lot of things that I do and how I do them. But, that's all in the future...just have to wait and see! Time to turn in... Peace!

No...I haven't disappeared...just been busy!

Busy...busy...busy!

Yes, my life has certainly become busy. I planned on being really good about posting but noticed I haven't done so since February! AAAACCCCKKKK!

If anyone is following me, forgive!

My job is fabulous and takes so much of my time. I don't mind at all as I love what I'm doing and I learn so much. I usually stay after hours to work with Grace to learn. It is the best time as there are no clients or phones to interrupt and we can go over the documents I've prepared and she teaches as we peruse the paperwork I've completed for the day. I e-filed my first bankruptcy case last Friday! Of course, I forgot to attach something but that's the learning process. In the meantime, I discovered that one we had filed a few weeks ago was missing some information so I'm doing the amendment. If I hadn't been looking for something else in the file, it would never have been caught and that would have been a very bad thing!

I'm going to think about outlining what I want to write about each week and keep this up. Yeah, I know I said that before but I really want to use this as an outlet for some serious blogging...not just a hit-or-miss thing like it is now.

So...as I close the for evening...

Peace and out!

I'm still kicking!

Hello, everyone!

Yes, I'm still around...I just haven't posted anything here in a very long time!!! Time for an update!

Biggest news...I have a job! It was a horrible 5 months without work or income (couldn't get unemployment). But, I'm working and I'm loving my new job. I working as a paralegal for a small sole practitioner firm. I interviewed for this job 3 years ago and I'm finally here. I'm learning so much from Grace and everyone else in the office...the two law clerks and the other paralegal. Everyone has been patient with me but, I was thrown into the pot early and quickly!

Also, I've moved from my daughter's house and am living in a small apartment near her with my mom...yeah, my brother pulled a fast one and kicked my 89 year old mother out of his house two days after Christmas. Not fun! So, had to find somewhere to live, find the money for deposit and first month's rent and utility deposits...with no income. Thank God for friends...I'm so blessed...

Things are beginning to come together...I just have to really concentrate on some time management skills! I've worked a lot of extra hours and don't have as much time to mess around on my computer so I probably won't be here very often.

I am going to figure out a theme for this blog and try to really do some writing...like I said, that time management thing...we'll see!

Peace...

I'm still here!

Guh! I haven't posted in over a month! I really need to remedy that but today won't be the day.

I'm thinking of trying to make this blog a bit more organized and maybe have some content that is interesting and useful. I've been purging lots of files and papers and have run across some information that would be good to use in writing some articles to publish in this blog.

Therefore...I'm going to work on getting this set up over the next week or so (I still don't have a working computer at home so everything will be handwritten and then typed when I do have access to my daughter's computer). Please, God, help me find a job so that I can get my computer fixed!

I will be back...I'm still around...see everyone soon!

Peace!
