Updates on my 1st wk of work

Haven really been blogging of late cuz my work has already left me quite brain-dead sometimes=/ That's not to say that i dun enjoy what i'm doing now. I do, just that now i know serious writing can be tedious and exhausting. It's like u have to write & rewrite sentences over & over again. U have to edit and re-edit. You have to choose the right words carefully. It's really different from blogging cuz over here i write whatever i pls & i dun have to care abt overusing adjectives or misspelling certain words! Hahaha.

For the uninitiated, I contribute articles for an aviation industry newsletter & i write about not just the happenings in the aerospace industry, but also some technical stuff like the mechanics of designing an aircraft lavatory. I have to read through alot of technical specs & just trying to understand them is a major challenge cuz its not like i have a degree in aerospace engineering=/ My degree is in mass comm k. But i'm enjoying the opportunity to learn & hone my writing skills. Hard news & such factual writing ain't my forte cuz i really do prefer soft news i.e. lifestyle writing but i guess i have to learn to be more versatile. Anyway i've received comments that 'oh sounds like a relax job' & all i have to say is 'PISS OFF!' Let me see you write an article first before you make such vacuous statements. Duh.

I must say that adjusting to working life really ain't easy. The normal day-to-day routine I can cope with, but come weekend i just feel really tired. When i'm tired i get real cranky & poor Mr. X has to bear the brunt of my anger which led us to an unnecessary fight yesterday. *sigh* He apologized for being not understanding enough but i acknowledged that i was at fault for taking things out on him too.

In a relationship, no 100% fault lies in one party and u know how some couples break up when they've got problems/issues? I always believe that breaking up doesn't solve the problem - it merely cuts out 50% of the problem & the other 50% is still with you. Think about it:)

Enough rambling. Goodnite!
