Think It’s Kinda Funny, Think It’s Kinda Sad :

Honestly, it’s depressing knowing that I can’t work on TEK right now. Database problems, the lack of real actual concern from my bosses. I mean, I could go on all day with what the real crux of the problem is — but in the end, it’s just too depressing. I needed help after I proved I could really do it. People all touted how TEK really was becoming one of the most popular channels at AMN and at it’s best, TEK seemed to almost run flawlessly. Once I ran into some real issues with my personal life, I noticed that TEK seemed to lag. Why? I wasn’t doing ALL of the work anymore and when I went to my CEO with the concern, asking that he come to my aid – it just seemed as if the statement was – “If you can’t do it, it won’t get done.”.With this said, I was tired of the lag in emails. Tired of sitting around without help and trying to fix it all on my own. There was only so much I could do, you see. I knew the writing, I knew the wit – I didn’t know the code and I didn’t know how to make the spam emails stop. The staff was always fluxuating and completely ridiculous and because I couldn’t devote every second of my day to it – TEK ended up shut down.Then, I got an email from a friend of mine whom had gone through the same thing with the company he writes for a few years ago, he simply said : “Fuck it. There’s always someone sitting there who realizes what you’re worth and wants that for themselves.”.And man, that just fits for every facet of my life right now.So, there is a strong possibility after talking to a few friends of mine within the industry, that I’ll be writing somewhere else. However, I have a feeling I would be completely heartbroken without my AMN boys. I’m going to talk to them about going back into PR for a bit to help them, since TEK tore me away from it – and it was quite noticeable for awhile.Other than that, I was offered some writing gigs at a few other rather established sites. I might take them, just to get the writing out there and not have to worry about it being censored and picked apart. However, my loyalty issues seem to come into play a lot.Personal life is still very rocky, I’ll get into that in another post. Just not feeling it right now. Let’s just say, I think I’m addicted to punishment.<3, CUpdate : Apparently, that was enough of a shock to the system and when I told them I stepped down, they shuffled me back into what I wanted. So, I will remain at AMN – but back at what I did very well and they need me back on – PR. However, I was told I can write for any of the channels I want – so I’ve been given that back as well. Quite happy. Also, we’ll be bringing back TEK in a bit – once we have more resources to do so. Glad to know that I did make an impression enough that they didn’t want me to go.
