So apparently I haven’t updated this page in two months. Not for want of things going on, though!
My big news is that I recently started a new job. I am now the new webmaster for the Communications Workers of America. After being there only three weeks, I feel very strongly that this was definitely the right move for me, for a lot of reasons.
First, I really love that I am working for a union and in the labor movement. While I’ve come to care deeply about all the causes I have worked for, organized labor has always had a special place in my heart. Now I am working with folks who are passionate about protecting workers, who really believe in organized labor and a fair deal for workers. I am very excited to be putting my web skills to work for all the people I’ve met so far at CWA, and for all the present and future CWA workers.
It’s also really great to get to specialize more. I have long been captivated by web design, development, online organizing and social networking, though my previous work was much more varying between lots of different things, and thus less focused. Now I really get the chance to sink my teeth into the web more. I also really like the people I’m working with so far, and I think I will have the chance to learn a lot from them.
Having my own office isn’t too shabby either. I can’t lie.
Now I just have to make sure I’m able to make CWA glad they hired me. I look forward to doing just that by being the best webmaster I can be.
