Here's what Momma does for a living

...well, this is what she used to do.

A big part of my job for the past few months has been writing articles. I was the Managing Editor for a new external e-newsletter. I researched topics, interviewed visa officers and refugees, hired photographers, and wrote articles. I also managed the entire back end of the project: all the techie stuff as well as the giant bundle of red tape that needed to be sorted out. I was told that my articles were good, and I was really looking forward to my project seeing the light of day.

My brand-new newsletter was ready to go out, when I was told that it was put on hold, perhaps indefinitely. It is a long and tortured story, so if you want to know the details, you'll have to ask me in person.

Luckily, I had applied—and was hired—for a new job. So do not despair: I won't be out on the street!

While the newsletter is almost a distant memory now, some fruit of my labour remains. I had the opportunity to work on Success Stories (a regular feature on CIC's website) and write this article. It may be propaganda of a sort, but it's well-written propaganda, don't you think?
