Grateful

Working at home online for the past few years, I am used to working hard, fast, long. The speed of 1) your net, 2) computer and 3) neurons are precious. Each minute counts. Something needed on the website? Input and click publish. Error? Edit and save. New page needed? Start a new page, input and publish. Visitor/s might see a wrong copy, price, etc. and that is not good at all. Time is of essence.

Online, each person plus net plus computer is an island, a powerful machine that churns out work day in, day out. When one of these three are slow, your work suffers, your schedule is thrown off balance, leaving you worn out and borderline crazy.

Now I am part of a bigger organization, I have less the liberty of the "input and publish" system that I am used to. Nowadays, I rely on other departments to do uploads, edits, tweeting, shouting out... At first it was strange for me, the waiting, that is, but by now I am used to it.

And I am really appreciative that, a bit slower it may be, but I am no longer an island. There are people to communicate with, people who get the work done with you, people who care about the work as much as you do (regardless how bug-gy I am through out the day. So yeah, these days, when I say buggy, I'm not talking about software, I'm talking about myself! lol).

And for all these, I am grateful. :-)

(And to all the kewl peeps who keep helping me out, here's a silent thank you for all you.)
