I always think it’s important to acknowledge important days on a personal blog.

So today is my birthday and up until about 14:45 I was trying to think of what to write here that would be suitable reflective without turning into being maudlin.

Being unemployed sucks ass. i’ve been slowly developing a freelance roster of graphics jobs but they haven’t been enough to take the edge off the worry factor of being unemployed. Yet, I know if a person - me in this case - allows themselves to dive in a the deep end of pity it can quickly turn into drowning.

I’ve believed in myself these last few months, but there have been long moments where you wonder, where you begin to wonder whether a complete makeover is necessary or some type of can’t-afford-it in-any-case career change.

Long moments. But ultimately at the end of every day I believed in myself and my abilities as I transition into graphic design. Transition for over a year but nevertheless, not as experienced, on paper, as I could be.

And on a birthday, when I at least and i know many others do, you tend to reflect on what’s gone on before, I really didn’t want to write here about “what could be and what will be and etc. etc.”

So, all that has been happily short-circuited by the fact that I was offered a job today, and, of course accepted.

It was an interview i’d been on earlier and in a few more days I’ll divulge the employer. But it was an interview I did a couple of months ago and I was “1 of 2″ And, happily the person who interviewed me was good to her word and called me up today, as a person who was working there is headed back to college.

So many things came together well today. “Well” is an understatement. Thank you to all those who wished me well and believed in me as the months passed.

Truly a time for celebration!!!!
