the tree is still up, so it's STILL the holidays
I realize that I'm luckier than many, in that our office closes for the week between Christmas and New Year's. Of course, that made it even harder to go back to work today. But break was good.
I gave my nephews light sabers, and my sister IS still speaking to me. No one has lost an eye, broken any precious objects, or turned to the dark side yet. Saw Mission Impossible at the IMAX and showed my friends the projection booth. Made re-posed gingerbread men with my mother, editing them to make siamese twins, ninjas, transvestites, and the like. I made California roll sushi (without crab) which tasted amazing but which I canNOT get tight enough. Watched a ton of Rifftrax while recuperating from kid germs infection, huddling underneath two warm cats.
Work has actually been much better these past couple of months. My supervisor quit, so I was able to take on some of her responsibilities and lose some of the micro-managing I was under. Got a better office, even if it IS so small it gets warmed up just with my own body heat in it. But I'm not sharing an office anymore, so I'm pleased. There was enough money for some raises, so some of my panic is lifted. My duties for the coming year are headed in potentially satisfying directions involving more editorial jobs and video projects. This is not to say that the job hunt is off...but at least it'll be more tolerable until I can get out.
OK, I'm off to Photoshop the liquid metal Terminator guy into a Watchmen GN panel. Ta-ta!
