absent Tuesday January 25

every now and again i take a small hiatus from posting. it is said that we have time for what we make time for, and i am just trying to keep ends together at this point in time. i have 3 pitchpipe projects that are all in full swing, i am starting a new full time job soon (hopefully) and am in quasi-training for that, and i am still working at merry ann's.

unfortunately, i'm going to have to quit merry ann's soon enough; or at least, only work one day a week. that's more favorable to me. however, i will understand if the management isn't willing to make that kind of concession.

i like posting to my website, though, and i like putting up new pictures for everyone. this begs the question, "then why work so much?"

that's how i was raised. at merry ann's the other day, it was snowy out, and customers kept tracking in snow and dirt and salt. and i kept mopping it. gloria doesn't speak any english, really, but she told erika to tell me that she thought i was a great worker. my mom has told me a lot of things, but one of them has always been that if you're going to work, do it well.

i say "told" instead of "taught". the process of learning things from your parents isn't always perfectly seamless. there have been times where i have done slipshod work, and i have let myself down in those times. why do anything that does not make you proud?

that is why i am a workaholic (currently, for the next few weeks). i am proud of what i do and what i can do, and it just happens that it's all culminating at the same time.
