So I've been at the new job a few months now, all seems to be going swimmingly, except for the fact that all of a sudden the workflow seems to have nearly ceased for me. My boss has been on vacation and popped in for an hour today before heading out of town for business, which could be the main factor in the slowness- it's possible that she just might not be aware how much time I've had on my hands this past week.
She hired a freelancer for a month, and mentioned to me that she might be offering him a full-time job. But with what projects?!? So should I be nervous? She seems to like my work, and I get everything done on time as well as having a good rep so far with our clients...
I've already lost one job this year...am I just being paranoid??

you're probably paranoid.
go talk to her about the situation. it'll show that you care about the company.

good time to work on something internal. turn their heads with something you made for the company in your downtime. my work likes when we do that. there are times when they dont have time to give us work.
and looking at your portfolio you have no reason to worry.
or you could just play on newstoday all day?

Just sent her an email kindly saying that my workflow has slowed a bit and I'm looking forward to taking on new projects, plus I asked her if there's any other way I can be of use to the team. That should help somewhat, or at least let her know we prolly don't need another full-time designer right now...

That email was a good idea. Follow it up with a face to face when she gets back

initiate some things while she's gone. like "no shirt" wednesdays and "free pizza" friday (on the company card, of course).
she'll be impressed!
