The Great Balancing Act
Yes, yes. The dramatic pause. I'm back though. And I thought marriage was going to be the great adjustment! Not so. Last time I posted I mentioned something of a hard time we were facing. Seems as though just five days after I started work, I was out a job. Mr. Manager wouldn't answer the question "why", he just said "it's not working out." Which is really strange, because the only thing I had been reprimanded for in the week I was there was having "too much energy" and "moving too fast." Guess it just carried over from everything else I've done.
So I was back to the job hunting, which around here feels alot like deer hunting, without the pleasure of being in the woods. Lots of sitting and waiting, and when one does come along, it's not nearly what you'd expected it to be. BestBuy offered me $8.50/hour and kept me waiting over an hour for an interview. Ugh. I'm also waiting for a call back from Bucks County Headstart about a teaching position.
Not to worry, though. Quite literally, in the last week, I've gotten enough web design work to pay for two months here. So perhaps you'll forgive the silence as I've been glued to the laptop, frantically throwing the digital ink around... I currently have Photoshop, SmartFTP, Firefox, Dreamweaver and Thunderbird open... and that's just the laptop. (The desktop is pumpin' out the iTunes... 'Starry Eyed Surprise')
To give you an idea of all that's being done here at PlasticMind Design, check out the list:

http://www.agirlwithacamera.com - Angela Tuttle, Photographer for Hire
http://www.movabletweak.com - My own geek journal about the ins and outs of the Movable Type CMS
http://www.plasticmindhosting.net - You've seen this before, right?
As well as a couple of other projects (Hudson Valley Blogs, Computer Visions, a brand new PlasticMind Site) that are soon to be launched. It's an exciting, new time here. And as I insinuated earlier, married life is great. To put it in the immortal words of Pastor Joe Roof, "Being married is so much better than being engaged."
Oh, that and I'm going to try to upload some more picture before the weekend.
