Work has been really slow lately. We've had some turnover in the office, new leadership in place and a more focused vision of what we want to achieve in the next year and the result has ultimately been less work coming in. Combine that with the woman we hired to replace the previous person I worked with (aka My Other Half) is just as organized, detailed and on top of things as I am and you have the situation I'm currently facing: an empty inbox and nothing to do but answer a phone that doesn't ring much.

I'm not really complaining exactly. I enjoy the quiet but I do want to earn my keep. I want to make sure my presence is necessary and justified. When it gets like this too many days in a row I get nervous and concerned that I'm obsolete or something.

I hope it picks up soon. I'm about ready to break out my book and just start reading because I just have nothing else to do!
