In Progress biography, In Progress discography
And I want to write about it in a blog."There was much talk of branding and new journalism.And so began Work in Progress, a blog about life at work and the work of life.Belinda Luscombe recently covered in the mag) and things I don't love about working from home (dog farts).Tragedy: your loads of comments were wiped out when we switched platforms recently.As time went on, WiP became the best thing about my job.Because, to me, a blog is like a conversation.So as I embark on uncharted roads toward a new career doing Lord knows what, I hope you'll accept my continued friendship.Thanks for being my favorite colleague.Morning meeting smackdowns, nerd style."In my admittedly jaundiced opinion...""Of course, you're familiar with the Cartesian argument..."Hanging with visiting foreign correspondents (yo, Simons, Hannah, Aryn).Fridays are a little dimmer now.Zen state, I thought you might want to know how I got from there to here.As soon as the meeting ended, I called HR and asked what my package would look like.In retrospect, I should have read the union document that gave me the same information rather than tipped my hand to HR.Had I decided to stay, I would have erred by giving management the impression I was weighing an exit.Our union had negotiated severance of two weeks for every year worked.For me, that worked out to about six months of pay and health insurance.Not enough to throw away a good job.To mentors, colleagues, former colleagues, friends.One mentor warned me of the depression that follows the elation of leaving a longtime job.About half the people I called said I should make the leap; the other half urged me to stay.Though one colleague had suggested I do so through HR, I instead set up a meeting with my boss.Then another, which got postponed.Throughout this process, I talked (and talked, and talked) to my husband.If you don't have one of these, I strongly suggest you get one before making a major life decision like quitting your job.But the day after a mass layoff, we are all a little traumatized at the sight of all the blood on the newsroom floor.That contrasts with the collective mood among those of us who've volunteered to go.Speaking for myself, my elation is coupled with worry, of course; how can we not react to news of 533,000 jobs lost in November, or when economists call the job market "almost indescribably terrible"?Let me enjoy the sweet taste of freedom.From the tone and subject of my posts over the past couple of weeks, you may have guessed this was coming.If my mother were alive, she'd ask the same thing.Following are just a few reasons why leaving a good job in this economy is totally mental:
There are no other jobs.Daytime TV isn't really that good.Like any TIME writer worth her salt, my next paragraph will begin with "On the other hand..."The buyout package will keep my family insured and my baby in fresh diapers.My industry is undergoing seismic changes, and my strong feeling is that sooner or later, we'll all be free agents.The cafeteria isn't really that good.But right now, I feel pretty good.The kids over at Gawker who usually report on media layoffs are wincing from their own.Writes John Koblin of the New York Observer:
These days, Ms.Brown's aggregator site creates as many as 10 original stories a day, and the Beast's roster of writers reads a bit like a list of the recently laid off.But Tina Brown can't save everyone from the camps.Beyond the platform interface, the goal is to attach vast databases of public information...Washington will be easy to find and new audiences will appreciate the relevance to their communities.Newspapers spend millions on NIE programs, but why not put the content in front of young users in the game space, using visualizations that help tell the story and engage the user on a deeper level?You've doubtless heard all the buzz about the January Vanity Fair cover flaunting Tina Fey, as photographed by Annie Liebowitz and profiled by Maureen Dowd.The Sarah Palin cover doesn't count.SNL's Weekend Update, but promptly forgot about it.But in her increasingly frequent magazine spreads, I've noted that her scar is often airbrushed out.No, not Newsweek, you little cretin.Turns out I was wasting my breath.Anderson Analytics finds that TIME is among the best known and liked brands among college kids.Even Ad Age, reporting the survey, was rubbing its eyes:
While in some cases the results were predictable, there were a few surprises.Time magazine, for instance, ranked as the No.Cosmo and jumping ahead of last year's No.Do you still believe in the very act, the very business, of publishing?Cottage Living and Teen People.You've lost faith in what you do.One sure way to squeeze costs is to lop off a division altogether.But that's all changed now.Today is a big shopping day for office workers as we put our deadlines aside, crack our knuckles and start clicking on online holiday sales."Cyber Monday," the first weekday after Thanksgiving, usually sees the first spike in online spending habits for the holiday season.Almost a third of workers shop while at work, says Careerbuilder.How guilty do you feel about doing your holiday shopping on company time?I'll tell you, it ain't journalism.It ain't sorting mail, either, though.But it's not what those two reporters trained for or worked so hard to attain.How low on the totem pole would you go to hang on to your employment?MultiAd(new Array("336x280", "336x850", "300x250", "300x600")).She writes about workplace, business and society trends for the magazine and TIME.Choose a day to view headlines.Other years, though, it's often because we simply didn't have the space.Just a public service announcement to let the readers of HouseinProgress now that we have not disappeared.We have not quit the premises.To the point that Aaron has now been officially diagnosed with walking pneumonia and Jeannie doesn't even want to know what she has now that the bronchitis is over.And Aaron never, ever gets sick.This, of course, presents a whole different challenge for her wheezing, fumbling parents.Check out the new contest!We'll come crawling back at some point.Thankfully, our place was never as bad as some of the places in this contest but it does look like some of the rooms in our house when we first took position.It all makes me wonder how we lived through it all...Check out more of the ugly home entries in the contest here.It's a bit of a labor of love that's grown over the years and is now somewhere between a hobby and a real, mainstream website that people actually use.It took us a while to get it working again, largely because the side job status of the site makes it hard to carve out the time to dedicate to big projects.Also, it took some technical skills that we simply didn't have.Luckily, we have a number of good technical friends who came in to the rescue.Thank you to each of you.You can see for yourself.House in Progress Diary, Category:
What on Earth!?It's a hunk of rose quartz.What would YOU do with this find?Fisher Price people through the door of the Fisher Price house instead.Grace is off at the sitters for a few hours and I'm trying to get some work done.The guy at the Post Office didn't think it was as funny as I did.We've been doing the Montessori thing with Grace.Free Office Furniture and Office Chairs Catalogue.Volunteer Abroad
