Workaholic without her drug

I've given up my drug, work. Well not so much given up, but I'll detail it out for you...

After college at Michigan State University, I accepted a job in Montgomery, AL (of all places) as a Marketing Assistant for the Montgomery Biscuits. If you're baseball savvy like my boyfriend, LF, than yes they're the AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays (no devil).

In smaller businesses employees tend to have more hats and I was no stranger to hats. I had a whole closest full. I've done it all with the Biscuits. I managed ticket marketing (their advertising), email marketing, interdepartmental marketing (their brand management and ad agency for other departments: food service, retail, box office, etc.), customer service, research (consumer online surveys), web content, Military marketing specialist, etc. etc. etc. You get the picture.

Being in Montgomery, I felt like I was closed off from the rest of the world. I felt like I wasn't on the cutting edge of technology, advertising, marketing, etc. I wanted to work with cutting edge writers, the creative types, people trying to push the mold and of course be on top. What's the worth in doing something if you don't aspire to be the best.

The reason I gave up my drug was to pursue a greater drug with new age thinkers that stop at nothing to be the best. LF and I moved to Nashville. In this economy, we had to be some what practical so LF obtained a job in Nashville and I decided to move too and take the chance on finding these great creatives.

I've been here a little over a month. I love Nashville and the people. I've met some of the creatives, and now I'm working hard to be one of them.
