Generally, I try to keep this blog a work-free zone, but for those readers who I actually know, who I haven’t been in touch with recently — or those I don’t know who would be interested — I thought I’d post an announcement that I’ve been promoted, and I’m now a Senior Managing Editor.
I’m still working on the same magazines, but now I also manage three employees (in addition to our team of interns) and I’ll be taking on other responsibilities as well.
It’s all good, and I’m quite happy about the news, as you may assume.
We do our annual performance reviews in June here, right around the same time as my birthday, so this was a great way to bring in the new year.
Woo hoo! Good for me.
