Hello Strangers!

Well, it has been a while. Nearly a month since my last post and it's my guess that you thought I dropped off the face of the earth. That's not quite the case but pretty close. My life as of late has consisted of me waking up, going to work at 6 am, eating lunch at my desk, leaving work at 8 pm, cooking dinner, and going to bed. I know, you're envious of my non-existent social life. I'm not. For me, the perfect working life is a healthy balance of work and play. Still, a crazy schedule is the kind of work life we, as designers, have chosen. When things need to get done and out the door, you can't say that I have to meet my friends for a happy hour and that this can wait till tomorrow. You have a deadline and it needs to be met.

Fortunately for you and I, this is not the norm year round. I have discovered that having a job in the design/advertising field means that sometimes you have ridiculously long hours and other times not. My professors warned me about this very thing my sophomore year of college but I didn't realize that even though you are sitting behind a desk, you leave work exhausted. Thirteen hour days take a tole on you.

I just thought I would post something to let everyone out there know that things are slowing down for me and you should start to expect the regularity I once possessed for my blog. I am hoping that next week I can resume my Who Are We posts and offering advice to those that seek it. I've got a few good blog ideas sitting on the back burner so keep a keene eye out for new posts!
