I took a breather from the one a day in order to concentrate on other projects for a while.
Things are still fairly routine. I travel back to Fife weekly for my web design job. I’m headed there now on the train. I’ve successfully had my hours reduced at the coffee shop, which gives me a little more free time.
I’m now a published graphic designer, with adverts for Beez Ent in SFX magazine and shortly Neo magazine. I don’t think this has sunk in yet, but I’m very grateful for the opportunity. It feels like a good start for a career in design.
My laptop committed seppuku last week. The screen has come loose from the body, hanging now only by the connecting wires. I’m a little upset by it, but had planned on replacing it soon anyway. With money being tight, I can’t imagine it being any time soon though. Particularly as my heart is set on a new 15″ MacBook Pro.
Sometimes the travelling gets to me. It’s like I’m being torn between a place I want to be and a place from my past, which due to unavoidable circumstances, I need to be. As much as I love my web design job, I consider it the only reason for my frequent return to the east coast.
