Have Job, Life good
Things are going so much better for me right now than they were, so I need to update, yes?
I got a good, solid, fabulous job at the end of March working with some weekly newspapers, doing layout and ad design. The environment is wonderful, very family-business, and my manager is a Trekkie, lol. ^_^ It's only 30 hours a week, though, so I'm still doing the movie popcorn job on the weekends. eh. (free movies good, right?)
After 5 months of unemployment, I finally have regular paychecks coming in and am getting back on my feet. No more depression and much less frustration, hallelujah.
I turned 29 on March 20th. Ah, twenty-nine. Still single.
I did my taxes! (I felt so proud and accomplished with myself, hahaha)
With my tax return, on May 4th I purchased a NEW HARDDRIVE. YAY! After having been without one since mid-January. And it's one terabyte. Yes baby. Couldn't get Windows to accept my (legal!) codes, so I'm on Ubuntu still, and it's so snazzy, if I can get Indesign to work on it though Wine, then I may become a total Linux Babee.
I posted the 40th page of my comic "Together" today. I've been going strong on the comic updates, though I've gone through my backlog and am currently posting page-on-the-deadline, which is a precarious and exhausting way to do it. I need to sit down and really work on getting a backlog built up again.
I just changed my update schedule to fit my work schedule better (I have Thursdays off)--I'm posting every Tuesday and Friday from now on. http://purple.mytica.net/stories
Now I'm working on fixing car problems, and getting my license and registration stuff switched over to Utah. WAHHH! I don't wanna have a Utah drivers license and license plates!! I'm Texan! I just happen to live in Utah! /whine
Life is definitely looking up. I have work, and goals to work towards, audiobooks to keep me happy, and some cash to live comfortably with. I have most of my siblings living really close to me, and we hang out all the time, and are loving and wonderful. They make me so happy. ^_^
