I think it’s fair to say December has been rough this year. Well, this Year has been rough this year, but purely from the standpoint of time management, December has been ridiculous. Case in point: tomorrow will be my first day off in 16 days. Amendment: tomorrow will be the first day where I don’t have to go to one of my two meatspace jobs, and instead will be able to stay home and work on one of my three freelance gigs. All the work I didn’t have all year seems to have come splurting out all over December. But hey, at least I’m working.
What this means is that it’s time for a traditional “sorry I haven’t posted in a while” blog entry, which I have decided to do in advance of the real dry spell. The Jigsaw season finale will not air for a bit, because I used that time to go Xmas shopping for my family and I have too many paid deadlines coming up that demand my attention.
I’m pleased that I’ve finally figured out what I want to do with the Spam column, i.e. do a weekly illustration based on the contents of a junk email, but again, there just isn’t enough time in the day to guarantee anything. Which is a shame, as I was just starting to build momentum. Sigh.
Meanwhile, it’s the final day of 2008. Tomorrow, I request that everyone take the time to kick 2008′s corpse in the face, just to make sure it’s really dead. Made it through the year, folks. Give yourselves a big toast. But check the jam for botulism first.
Working two jobs today. Best get moving.
