Finaly the other shoe drops...

I have decided that I am going to do mt morning pages in two different spots, on in my analog journal and one in my online blog...this one here.

To day is Tuesday, it should be rather slow here at work because its only tuesday and the rest of the week should be rather quiet because it is Easter weekend and there probably will not be too many open houses on Sunday.

So since the beginning of the year things at work have been a little bit on edge, for many reasons:

1. We have a new publisher
2. print circulation is declining
3. its the first quarter of the year
4. and all we hear about in the news is "recessions"

having not done well in my economics classes in college I had no idea what a recession really is so I got online and read up, come to find out that a recession is:

A recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP,real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. A recession begins just after the economy reaches a peak of activity and ends as the economy reaches its trough. Between trough and peak, the economy is in an expansion. Expansion is the normal state of the economy; most recessions are brief and they have been rare in recent decades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession

While my job is not in any REAL danger, unless we are habitual screw ups...what it does mean is that if some one leaves they can not re-hire for at least 90 days. Which really is not a problem because there hadn't been anyone leaving the department till now M is leaving at the end of the month, and our boss is moving my teammate A to replace him. the interesting part is that I am going to absorb the night person L and then become part of another team who is less busy on my busy days.

The frustrating thing is that I get put into a strange situation because for a period of time I will be the only one who knows how to do my teams stuff, which at times can be a little over whelming. But if I can do it and do it well things will pay off because my boss said that she is looking for me to rise to the occasion.
