Tweet

Sooo... I'm on Twitter now. I've been using it as a social marketing/PR tool at work (that's right, I said WORK -- read on for a full update) pretty successfully, but I figure it's best to learn how to use it and make mistakes on my own personal account before screwing up the company account.

You can follow me @ twitter.com/jessiemerryman if you really want to. I don't know why you would, but the option is there just in case.

Anyway, here's the latest and greatest update (or should I call it an unofficial Tweet?) for ya:

Job
Yes, you read right -- I have a new job. After being laid off with perfect timing for Thanksgiving, I floundered around a little, resting up for my next big stint. Then, with perfect timing for Christmas, I was offered a position as the marketing and PR coordinator at a company called Moodlerooms, an online education solution provider for schools, districts, colleges, universities, corporations, etc., using a popular open-source online learning system called Moodle.

I like it so far. Writing and editing is a huge function of my position, so it's perfect for me because that is a passion of mine. Also, my commute has been cut in half (though half an hour is still a somewhat hefty commute). They definitely keep me busy, but I enjoy it because I'm finally using the skills I paid (and am still paying) for. I work a lot more than I used to, but at least it's because I actually have work to do. I'm turning into a workaholic, so I'm trying to limit myself to nine hours a day, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

All in all, life is pretty good for me right now. I'll update you the next time something important happens. Until then, hopefully I'll start finding time to post more often about other things.
