The ‘No Updates for 3 Months!’ Update

Wow, that has never happened to me before, I swear. Life kind of hit a brick wall and I am still trying to pick up the pieces. Upon returning to work in January I was faced with a decision. Should I leave behind all the Pixie Pal’s that I made in Brisby Land’s own Tinker Island to work for a company which produces state of the art graphic design and productivity suites from sun cooked clay? Why did I even have to ask myself that question?!? After applying and scoring higher on the test than my own manager did when he was an agent on the contract, I was in… For three weeks. 

Why on earth would a company pay thirteen trainees to complete four of the five weeks of training at a cost of well over two thousand dollars per person only to lay them off? How could that possibly be a sound decision? You could say, lay off your 8 lowest performers on the floor and then weed the bad newbies… More paperwork I imagine. More difficult conversations. On the plus side the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act cut my Cobra payments to 35% so I can afford to have healthcare. Now if only I could find a job…

I have a million pictures I need to put up. There’s Bill’s visit, Dad’s visit, the Olympic Peninsula, the Mount Hood hot springs, and pictures of the MINIVAN WE NOW OWN! That’s right, we are the proud owners of a minivan, what is my life coming to?

I am so far behind. I want to transition the site to Drupal or Wordpress and then add start using flash galleries for the pictures, but can hardly find the time. All I can say is that I am going to try harder to not go three months without putting something up here for no one to read. Until next time…
