My Sincerest Apologies

Love, life, money, unsolicited advice, food, and everything in between (with a dash of sarcasm).

An Update & Apology

Hi my favorite people, it’s been about five months since I’ve seen you - and I am SO SORRY!

Honestly, life hasn’t been that crazy, but also a kind of has? I thought I’d take a moment to fill you in on why I’ve been so MIA and apologize for how lame I am for not putting in the effort to write new posts.

We all know summer is the time for fun and debauchery - after all, it’s rose, romper, and rooftop season all at once. And that’s really my only excuse for not writing during July & August…except (drum roll please) I also got a new job at the end of August, YAY! This has really occupied a majority of my time, it’s been so amazing, and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve got to say, loving your job is one of the best feelings to have.

The moments leading up to this switch were really quite stressful, especially the thought of leaving my previous company. I had formed great relationships and had spent the first 1+ years of my career there (not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it was 100% of my job history at this point!!). Let me tell you, quitting is nerve wracking. But it was definitely a learning moment, and went beyond smoothly. I still stop by the old office occasionally, see my old coworkers at happy hour, and care about the people I met there.

I’m still a recruiter now, but I’m in-house (which means I’m recruiting for my own company, versus being hired to recruit for other firms as needed). I’m at an amazing media agency (which may have just been named the 2018 media agency of the year…), it’s been so busy and exciting and keeps me from spending as much time writing. But I’m here now!

Since August I’ve gone on some dates, made new friends, tried new foods, thought about going on a diet, didn’t end up going on a diet, started physical therapy, gone back to Ohio twice, continued drinking away my weekends, done some excessive Black Friday shopping, and some other less interesting things. Thanks for sticking around, I can assure you I’ll have some really great content for you soon. If there’s anything you’d want to see a post about, leave it in the comments and I’ll do my best to write something enticing for ya. Love you lots, my dears! Stay tuned for a juicy piece coming soon.
