This week I decided to give the bulk of my available attention over to photography and let the other areas take a rest. So I’ve been taking pictures, editing pictures, and practicing marketing lessons. There’s a competition deadline coming up this weekend that will make it an even higher priority but may just yield...

Progression
There’s something very satisfying about balance. It’s been a week of small steps in all directions. Sometimes those steps have simply been getting updates that things are still pending but that still feels like progress. I’m getting focused on some of the smaller writing projects and trying to get those done along with getting...

Expectations
If there’s been a theme for this past week, it’s been about re-evaluating first impressions and expectations. From objectively looking at my day job options to evening plans disrupted by someone challenging a coal train and losing (meaning it took 2 1/2 hours to get home.) Sometimes the accomplishments are about adapting instead of...

The second layer
It’s been an interesting week – almost completely occupied with work drama. The very reason I want to avoid working for someone else. What’s interesting to me is that the explanation given for some bad behavior was being tired and stressed. Fair enough, most of us release our inner toddler under those circumstances. But...

The last Friday of Spring
Summer starts next Monday, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. It’s been a long, rainy week and not much beside office work has gotten done. The new jewelry pieces though are almost complete – a few weeks behind schedule but impossibly so. I’m not sure where the summer plans went but I realized...

Another busy week
As the week comes to a close I’m exhausted, but in a good way. I got about half of the necessary work done on jewelry to be able to schedule my follow-up appointment with the museum shop and got some much needed blogging work underway. I’ve also put in some overtime and tried to...

Hills and valleys
As much as I might like to try to plan for an equally balanced life, there are simply times when one aspect takes over for a brief period. This week was one of them – the day job claiming overtime hours and the off time spent recovering from that. That doesn’t mean, however that...

New technology
Oooh, I love this new little laptop. It’s tiny and fast and weighs less than three pounds. Now that I have it up and running I’ve been getting a few more things done here and there. The broadband signal isn’t as consistent as I’d like but it’s a place to start. Gradually I’m working...

A week of figuring it out
Progress on all fronts without major accomplishments is always a little hard to claim as progress. I’ve been told that I’ve inspired others which should always be considered a major win. I’m also proud of fitting in some exercise, getting the garden watered and that sort of thing. On the downside one photograph came...

Technical upgrades
My big accomplishment for the week has been redesigning my mobile technology so that I can get everything done. It should be simpler than it is but with phones and mobile broadband, smart phones vs netbooks there’s a lot to work out. The final resolution is to downgrade the cell phone, upgrade the netbook...
