All Things But None

Good Thursday everyone! Well, I think I finally finished my online portfolio [for now], and created my business card and updated my resume as well. Whew! Most often, it's arduous to come up with something that represents - you and you only! We are our own worst enemies, or in my case, the most difficult client. heh! It's a process... I may like something today, but I might not like it so much tomorrow. But right now, it's good enough. I had a few different looks to my webpage, but this one is the most simple. And I think simple is good. What I said on the page isn't all that strictly professional, but I guess that's how I interact with others. I'm not out to be an executive or climb the corporate ladder. But if you read my resume, you know I had a lot of help on the copywriting.

This is a 2nd version of my business card [red and blue lines are bleed and trim lines]. I never created one before for myself. My first version wasn't much different, only the front was with black text on white, rather than white on red. I think the carmine makes it a bit more prominent, easier to 'pick out' from the rest. Mrhappysad. The 'sad' part might deter a good few people, but the name has stuck with me for as long as I can remember. Do you know why?

On my way to work this morning, I was thinking about my last work day on April 13th, I might take 2 weeks off after that. 'Off' as in not spending hours online job searching, networking, etc. Two weeks is a long time for me, and I want to use the time to really plan out what I really want to do. Most likely I'll stay in and do some 'spring' cleaning around the house, but I most particularly want to use the majority of my time off doing some night photography. I might head out after midnight or early morning when it's pitch dark. I would like to continue on where I left off last time, somewhat. This time, I think I'll start with the beach. That's my immediate plan. I'll start job searching early May. I think it's possible. Now if I could get Alec to okay it! :-)

I think that's all for this week. Oright, I have time to reply to email now that my portfolio / business card / resume are done. No more excuses! :-) I hope everyone is healthy, employed and happy. Take care of yourselves!
