In March 2006, I left San Francisco to travel for six months. I returned at the end of August. Since then, I have been reacclimating nicely. Sure, nothing as exciting as sleeping in a ger, climbing the Great Wall, sneaking a photo a Jesus Action Figure with Terracotta Warriors, or watching Mongolian wrestling...but...fun and fulfilling just the same.
About two weeks after I was back, I started working for Wheeler Street Design, small Web design firm based in Santa Rosa. The company is run by three fellows I've known for a few years (two of whom I'd worked with before). I am basically a Project Coordinator, but since I have some HTML and Web experience, I am able to lend those skills to projects as well. There was no difficult transition period involving me spending hours on the Internets searching for a job.
So far, the job has been going very well. I spent the first two weeks working on a big Web site that consumed much of my time: 126.5 hours to be exact. But...my work load has decreased dramatically. The other great thing is that I get to work from home. But, since the company office is in Santa Rosa, not far from where my mom lives, I can go visit the office every two weeks or so and stay the night at my mom's and visit her and my stepdad as well!
In addition to the job, I am also getting a move on with our next issue of en fuego. Lots of exciting content planned for this issue, but you'll just have to wait until next April to read it!
