This data bitch is on vacation!

Twice a year at work we knowingly walk into Hell, otherwise known as audit season...which pretty much guarantees the fact that all issue closes will take roughly twice the time to complete. And that's if you're lucky.

How to explain what I do...an issue I've been struggling with for some time now.

Data bitch. That's the short answer.

The long answer is difficult to articulate. I'm like the right arm to circulation managers and directors across the publishing industry, creating and orchestrating every data-centric report or piece of information they could possibly dream of on a daily basis. But somehow that doesn't even begin to explain it.

At any rate, we're rolling through another busy audit season at work. I've been diligently maintaining the databases for which I'm held responsible, and have managed (so far anyway) to stay on top of things.

What better way to test my abilities than to take two days off in the middle of all of this?

I'm super-excited. Tomorrow is The Hubbs' and my fourth wedding anniversary and today is my Friday. I'm on the train headed for home, and will be spending scads of time with The Hubbs and The Princess (and, of course, The Girls) between now and Monday.

Tomorrow's all about laziness and fun. On Friday we'll head to the big scary city for The Princess's medical diagnostic. T is coming up on Saturday, and The Hubbs' family is visiting on Sunday.

In between things I'll inevitably work here and there, but only when I declare it's time. :)

This data bitch is on vacation, suckas!
