I haven't updated in ages, I guess not much has changed, at least I think not...all in all, I'm still alive.
First off: Liz I've been praying for you, I remember all the stuff you told me about your mom, and it all came back to me when I heard she had passed. I hope things will start turning around for the better soon.
I'm still going to UCI, can't wait to get out of this cold, windy, dark, and lonely place. The only things that I smile about around here is my physics professor's constant effort to amuse us with his physics jokes. Lets just say he is one electron short of a full valence shell (that was bad I know...I'm not claiming to be a noble element).
Still growing the business, the industry is hard and competetive, but I'm enjoying designing stuff. I actually do more layout work, then true designing. I have to take some in depth courses over the summer at a jc to get a better grasp of some of the software I work with. I consider myself a novice at best, but our output and quality is nothing short of pro.
You learn a lot about people when you try to start/develop/grow a business, i guess I've had my share of good and bad experiences (and sad to say some of the worst have been with churches, even my own to a point).
You work hard, bend over backwards to satisfy them, and do work for well below market value (b/c I want to help them out)......what you get in return is a lack of communication, and they thank you with their
ignorance. What ever happened to developing relationships?
I REALLY get annoyed when people think that all I'm after is money, it really disgusts me to a point where I'd rather not do business with them.
You really learn about who truly cares for you. And of course, when they need you, they act really nice.
I try not to take things personal...but sometimes its too hard not to. This post has turned into something more than I intended, but I'm glad b/c I hate harboring negative stuff...it eats at you like a parasite.
Anyways, this place brings back lots and lots of memories..good and bad...really good..and oh so bad. In the end, I know Who to seek out for encouragement, strength, and peace.
With that said, I love being in the position that I am in..I am nothing but grateful. I have so many goals that I want to accomplish, I just hope I have enough in me to get the job done...to bad there aren't
more hours in a day.
