i'm not dead yet, just rolling out of bed...

Right, we're off to a bad start aren't we? Not written anything since the day after my birthday when I woke up groggy and...feeling a little the worse for wear. Age - creeps up on you after the fifth drink.

Been battling a respiratory tract infection, unexplained high fevers, never ending snotty noses (Dylan's) and trips to the doctor's office. It's been a really outstretched first month of the year. Things have gone in a flurry and a haze of paperwork and colored laser print outs. What was Seven Worldwide, then later became Schawk, the company I temp-ed for, was absorbed by Harrah's Entertainment at the eleventh hour of the last month of the year, so it's safe to say we spent most of the better part of the Christmas hols biting our nails and hoping for a job to hold on to rather than a nice present. But it all worked out and turned out nicely as we were present-ed with job offers and considerable pay raises, to say the least. The work is still the same and tedious as ever, although I made the switch to Copy Editor rather than Graphic/Production Artist.

CRAP JOBS!I can't say I'm too happy with the way things are run - the majority of us expected some things to change when the hand over was completed, but alas, we hope for the best and it remains at HOPE, so to make myself feel a little better and appreciate the fact that I actually have a job, I'll bury my nose in some Crap Jobs and see how much better off I really am.
