Not Missed

One thing I won't miss about Current Job is the way it has diminished my writing and thinking skills - which is ironic, given that for the past two years I've had "writing/editing" at the top of my job description.

I ascribe this degeneration to three main factors; trying to keep up with the frenetic pace, working on (and creating) business prose that ranged from the merely jargon-y to the illiterate, and discarding my preferred work style in favor of a looser method that better fit the "act before thinking" madness.

I hope that I can reverse this degeneration if those three factors are less - wait for it... - impactful on my new job. I only have this week until I can find out. Maybe I can even find my ability to remember things without writing them down or muttering them to myself. And if it's not too much, maybe I can do away with chronic back pain from sitting in a $%#&$# bad chair. Oh, Eden!
