Ch ch ch changes
Well, the name of my blog has become obsolete because I'm not technically a librarian anymore, even though I feel like I always will be one on some level deep inside. My new job title would be fabulously alliterative, but otherwise confusing-- The Cat's Content Coordinator, anyone? So the question is, what shall I call myself? Am I still allowed to use the L word? And do I want to?
Long story short, I very gratefully accepted a job at Zappos, which may very well be the happiest place on earth outside of Iceland. The first month was dedicated to new hire training where we learned to take customer service calls. I got to talk to a lot of interesting folks from around the country, including two from my hometown. Good times were had by all (except for the people who had to wait a really long time while I figured out what the hell I was doing). One friendly customer, who failed to tell me about the periods in her gift card code for an hour or so, even sent me props for helping! I officially love her.
This week, I take the plunge into content, which entails writing product and outfit descriptions, as well as weeding out bad product info on the site. I'm enjoying myself so far and telling myself that posting outfit descriptions on a website kinda makes me a writer in a very tangential way.
My quests at the moment involve learning to be more social and communicative. I've pondered using my blog as an impetus to change, forcing myself into uncomfortable situations to obtain posting fodder. Perhaps I will become the cat's confident cool chick.
