I got a job...
My first day was Jan 30. More money than my old job and not on the front desk. Plus it's editing consultant reports, at a large banking software company. Fits my abilities well. The revenue scheduling is a little tricky, but I think I got the hang of it now. Anyway, I updated our major document this week and my boss said there were only three mistakes and that was "freaking REMARKABLE." Flexible schedule and I can work from home now and then if I want.
Started back to school this month, tech writing program. I think I might be able to do my internship at work.
Finished a new novel in November, during NaNoWriMo. Starting to edit it now.
That's all, really. Last year was so horrific it's about time some things started to go better.

Great news Bruiser! Congratulations!
Here in Poland couple of my friends have lost their job recently so it's good to hear you are back on a good track!

While most people celebrated April Fool's day yesterday... I did not...
I was too busy celebrating our first wedding anniversary with my wife.

Dear SST-friends,
I'm proud to announce the broadcast of my first ever recorded radio interview as a composer/conductor on
Tuesday, April 23rd 2013 - 10:00pm (middle european time)
at the radio station "Radio Maria"
Following pieces of mine will be broadcasted as well:
1) "Abschied" ("Farewell") for woodwind trio & string quartet (2009)
2) "conundrum" for 7 violins (2010)
3) In Hora Mortis, Cantata for soprano, baritone, organ & chamber ensemble (2010) - III. Beati mortui
Keep in mind that the interview etc. was done in german, but maybe sometime I'll be able to make a youtube video with english subtitles of it ^^
In case you aren't able to listen to it during its initial broadcast, you can listen to the show on the radios website afterwards

Congrats, bpewien! I'd love to hear the interview, even though my command of German is circling the drain. 
We have a small milestone over here. My eldest is now sleeping in a big-girl bed! This was necessary, since we needed the crib back for BabyI #2.

Finally after years of hard work, I will be getting my Bachelors degree in Multi-media journalism tomorrow morning. It will be bittersweet for me, but I'm glad I'm finished with school. |
