Debby on the move

I doubt Debby is going to do 'Deerfield' as my sister-in-law and brother took great pleasure in messaging me.  The skies are gray and filled with bothersome ugly clouds that do nothing to drop the air temperature but rather increase the mosquito population and the dripping humidity.  June Gloom is a West Coast phenomena while here it just gets 'mucky' for the lack of a better word.  But see here everything is air conditioned.  The much lauded Pacific Coast breeze is the only A/C I had most of my life and when the winds weren't blowing it was hot.  I appreciate the A/C and don't whine too much when the power bill shows up. 

Work has been hectic because of my company's growing pains.  We've gone from a medium sized company a few years ago to a rapidly growing company.  In the past year we've outgrown the three story building and taken over space in one building next door and later this summer the one across the street.  That's some serious growth when you consider over half the cubes in my cube farm were empty two years ago.  They had our division meeting last Friday and unbeknownst to me I got my 'one year' plaque.  Note I started working here July of 2010.  You do the math. 

I have been writing in the early morning hours and during lunches lately because my vampires are hungry.  With all the work changes and 'growth' there's been a bit of pressure (anyone who knows me realizes I understate rather severely at times).  The directors don't want any overtime but still we are expected to get it all done.  We do but it means we work way too quickly at times.  My team is pretty cool.  We've ironed out the kinks and support each other.  To me that's the best part of my job.  But the tensions of the time constraints means my writing keeps me sane.  Okay relatively sane...why lie?

It's funny how I tend to write under pressure to release the pressure of work.  Writing gives me a kick and lifts my spirit.  Even while my vampires are tearing out throats and pinning vampires up against the mats.  No they aren't suddenly doing the WWF but at times I wonder if I should toss one of my vampires into the ring. 

Hope you all are well.
