04.03.06: what I've done in the past month...
Besides getting the divorce finalized, in order of crappiest to best, I've:
- Had a tooth removed...while I was awake (squiiiick)
- Had two mammograms -- a "regular" one and a magnifying one. No breast cancer (thank all the gods) -- but there's calcium in them thar boobs. Specifically, specks of calcium all throughout -- no clusters. As long as I'm cluster-free, all's well. If they start to become clusters, that could be a warning sign of breast cancer...so I get the pleasure of another mammogram in six months. Better safe than sorry, though.
- I took a Flash class over the weekend -- easy and fun. Watch for my animations at a site near you -- gotta put those mad skillz to work!
- I won a design award. :) Specifically, Graphic Design magazine's "Inhouse Design Award," multimedia/interactive division, for branding and designing my company's series of e-newsletters.
An inhouse designer is someone who works for one company, be it a corporation, foundation, non-profit, whathave you, as opposed to a designer that works for an agency and has many clients. Inhouse people sometimes get a bum rap because we don't have a breadth of experience with different clients -- but, on the other hand, we know our specific market really really well.
So: I submitted my stuff, and won. Boo-yah! :)
A busy month, no?
