Good stuff...

I've been working a lot of extra hours at work the last six weeks or so...we acquired another company that's just as big as ours is.  I've been putting in nine or ten hours days six days a week, and am getting further and further behind and worn out.  I had a discussion with the big boss last Friday and now my job is turning into a two person job.  Whew!  I'll pass on the old company to the new girl and I'll take the new one.   Which brings me to more good news...I called a gal I used to work with at my previous employer (she's not there anymore either) and she was glad to trade the contract work she's doing now for the stability of a full time position with benefits...she starts in a week.  It's a great relief to know I'm getting help, and that I'm getting someone knowledgeable and smart who I know I can work with, instead of having to spend time weeding through the not-so-bright people the employment agency tends to send us.

Hopefully soon I'll get my weekends back so that I can spend more time in my studio.

Not so good stuff...

Susan's project took a turn for the worse...the wood I stained dark blue is black.  It's nothing I can either fix or scrap to make new, so I'm going to have to make black work.

More good stuff...

Casey of Casey's minis gave me a blog award that celebrates my strangeness, and Brae at Otterine.com seconded it.  Awww, shucks, I'm blushing.  I'll officially collect the award in a couple of days, because I'm headed out of town today, which brings me to...

Really cool awesome stuff...

I'm going to see my favorite band in concert tonight.
