It's a big week for me.

GOOD: I've started a new freelance position at a large advertising agency, doing miscellanious graphic design and flash coding. It keeps me busy, it keeps me fed, and it's the first serious work since graduating a couple of months ago.

BAD: I don't have a proper chair yet, and this low thing is giving my wrists serious pain. Facilities is on it, so I hear.

GOOD: I'm working on interesting projects for big clients.

BAD: I'm taking a tiny little role in them, mostly cleaning up other people's work.

BUT, this is to be expected at my level.

GOOD: Getting my body into a normal day-night cycle is actually giving me back some energy lost to the lethargy machine.

BAD: Waking up in time for a 9:00 start is no fun. How do the rest of you people do it? How did I do it, oh so long ago?

GOOD: Lots of cool light and vantages on the street here, I've got to bring my camera in soon, and hope I don't look too much like a tourist.

BAD: I keep putting off my application for low-cost health insurance. I've really got to get off my ass about that. Really.

GOOD: May 1st Reboot is rolling around again, as is the matching CSS Reboot. I just re-did Tranq, and while it's not perfect, I don't think it needs another update already — but Notes is due for a facelift. I might join up with CSS Reboot this Spring, if I can:

1. Wait until then to redesign the site.


2. Actually have the time then to do said redesign.

BAD: It's tax time!

GOOD: The ladyfriend and I are doing wonderfuly, and this makes me fantastically happy. Like, ya'll don't even know. She's taking a whirlwind tour of Spain with Jen right now, where the sun is bright and the grass is green.

BAD: This means she isn't here.
