So, I got word today that I will be receiving a promotion as a part of the culmination of my efforts over the past few months. This was a complicated task that included; responding to management critiques with growth in those areas, a new learning that I needed to get control over, and taking on more of the managerial day to day responsibilities. Essentially, I am a through and through paper pusher, something that I’d prided myself on not being in the past, but this is the unfortunate thing I gotz 2 do 2 get paid, bruthas (& sistas).

This new role will be a lot of responsibility, and in addition require me to yet learn another new little area of business. So it’s gone now (careerwise) from gaming, to children’s activities, to preschool toys & dolls, to home products and now men’s apparel. This is a wild ride I’m on and really the most exciting time of my life. I hated school, I thought it was for losers (art school, anyway), but I love to work. I probably really am one of those workoholics people talk about.

On a typical day I will get up at 5am, check my mail, S>S>S, and then I’m off to work. I will generally stay at work until 8 and then head to the gym. I’ll come home watch some adult swim (sometimes the repeat if I can’t sleep) and then do it all over again. I talk about work a lot, I think about it even when I’m out and about, and am very passionate and vocal in meetings. I guess sometimes when you work hard things do pay off.

Enough about me, is there any good news out there to share? I remember DBaggins was about to graduate school, dwex is getting in, and Thrill’s having a baby. What the hell is going on out there that we should all be proud of?
