Well, the joys of the vacation are long behind me, and the joys of what will seem like never-ending work lie before me. It is a joyous time of the year, when work hands me project after project, and expects me to get it all done in a timely fashion. So that means yet another year where I can't take a small weekend trip to see the changing of the leaves in a more picturesque part of the country. Damn.

It seems that work conspires to rip the joy one might get from a vacation into tiny shreds, and make it feel like no matter how long that vacation was, it feels like it never happened. Perhaps that is just my lovely place of employment.

Anyway, with the great workload before me, my submissions and commenting may grow a little more lax. You know, working is kinda what pays the bills, and will hopefully one day pay for my SLR... Truly wish I could actually make money with the taking pictures rather then having to do what I do. But, meh, if wishes were horses then beggars would ride and all that jazz.

Next year, I plan on doing my own little contest, with the grand prize being a 1 year paid subscription to Deviant Art, and depending on the way my idea works out, I will also be giving out two 3 month subscriptions! So get the word out to your friends and anyone else, have them watch this page for details, and if this one turns out well, I might do another contest in the near future... As of now though, I am still working on the details, so if you have an idea, and want to pitch it to me, feel free to leave a comment on this journal! Who knows, maybe I'll give the person with the best idea a 3 month subscription, just for their help!

Party on all you deviants!
