Everybody's working for the weekend.

Any misgivings I had about my job initially have all melted away for several reasons that don't need going into. I have fun pretty much every day at work which is a good thing, obviously. My daily tasks aren't necessarily thrilling, but my interactions with my boss and a few of my colleagues are what make the workday great.

Last Wednesday, for example, my boss and I colored this picture together - well, not at the same time but as a collaborative effort.


The landscape work was my boss, and I added the details like the sun, birds, pond, flowers, and lily pads. I know that the perspective is off on the flowers. Let it go. Your art rules aren't the boss of me.

The story behind the picture is longish and pretty funny, but I feel as though it would lose something in translation from spoken word to blog. However, I did want to quickly share this picture with the world so that you can all know how hard I'm working.

2010 is shaping up pretty nicely so far. I haven't had a bad day yet in February actually (knock on wood).

My next blog is going to have something to do with the AWESOME playlist I just made for Valentine's Day. Just a little something to look forward to.
