ive been the logistics guy for the shop i work at for years, but very recently shifted into the position of being a systems architect. I've been have been having a lot of fun getting it all set up, despite being a lot busier than i'm used to. i know i made a post about it before, but i think it's so important for businesses to promote from within!!

💻With my new design job it requires mood meetings and client meetings and setting up docs and getting invoices situated and confirming deadlines — all things I absolutely hate. The fun stuff all begins after the admin work is done. For me, mentally I’ve learned to see it as the work that opens the door to the fun part of the job which is the design and sketching and brainstorming and visioneering. I think something that’s helped me is understanding that if I do the admin work well it actually sets me up to do better with the rest of my work. For you it might be like “Oh if I ship these packages out I can start designing the next thing” or “If I make this call it’ll give me clarity on the next task.”
The only other solution is, if you’re able to, hire out that admin role. It’s $$$ but for some people getting that sorted opens the door for them to take on more work that they can do well. Our design team has an admin that soon will handle all the tedious tasks and then my brain can focus 100% on creativity as opposed to 25% admin and 75% creativity.

💻…am I currently working two jobs? Yes. The overlap in schedule is minimal but I feel so fulfilled to get to work on these projects. My role is still undefined, but it’s becoming more real every passing day. Just being around some of these creatives, many of whom I’d admired via the internet has been incredible. I submitted a design yesterday and everyone loved it and I blushed. Here’s to working hard so my toddler can one day afford college (or like a really cool house, idk)

😃I left tech in 2020 burnt out from beige walls. Currently working outside doing residential compost pickup part-time and planting food forests. I opened an etsy shop turning recycled computer pieces into craft supplies, but it’s been a slow start.
I love this life, but I need just a little more income to make it work, open to suggestions.

🩹a lot of places like pharmacies or libraries will provide it at no cost. it's a good thing to keep in your car or your bag, you never know when you might stumble across someone who needs it. if you're in the US, depending on your state, there's probably a directory you can find online of locations that provide it. i live in NY, and there's a publicly available list of all the participating pharmacies.
