So as you can see by my lack of posts, grad school has seriously dampened my free time. Well that and changing jobs twice! October of last year I left my web designer job at Principle Data Systems where they had to let me go prior to having to sell off the company (was never without a job as I landed the next the very day I left). Then I was an information architect at imc2 where while it was a pretty place to work, it was also a bang it out get it done zomg it was due yesterday and you just got it today sort of place, needless to say - they sucked out my soul. This is especially true when you consider the traveling I had to do for them, the fact that I am a mother to a precocious 5 year old, and a full time grad school student. Working 60 hour weeks was KILLING me, so I found a way out after only 6 months (shortest job ever). I am now a usability and interface engineer at a small software firm. This all occured in the span of about 6 months and right in the middle of both semesters!
I also traveled to Mexico/Central America for my honeymoon in October, to North Carolina multiple times in December and January (for a client of imc2), got to go to SXSW interactive in March (which was cool as hell), and then to Memphis at the end of March where I podcasted the Society for Applied Anthropology conference.
Currently I am contemplating going to Canada next weekend, will be attending a Portus 2008 in July (I am their assistant web graphics person), and will be going to the Virgin Islands in October.
Yes, I am still alive - I'll try to stop by here more often. :)
