On a positive note

I use this blog as a journal of sorts (my hand writing is horrendous) so, unfortunately, anyone who reads this will be occasionally subjected to depressing stuff like that last post.

But my life is nowhere near as bad as I often make it out to be; It is, in fact, quite pleasant.


I might get to shoot at the Pure Fashion fashion show in Calgary on May 6th. It is not set in stone, my accreditation is still pending, but I'm thankful for even the possibility. Though I look forward to having some fashion work in my portfolio, I am more excited about supporting an event like this. It needs much more exposure. I love modest women!


And, for the first time in a long time, I am really enjoying work. We've spent the last two weeks in meetings/courses with the goal of moving our department in to the role of bid and business development support. I can't help but laugh at my nerdy excitement over getting to develop proposals. The key through all of it is that I, along with my coworkers, will begin to gain some respect within the company. More importantly, the change in role is drastic enough that we might be able to gain some respect without the massive structural and personal (personnel...) restructuring that us peons originally thought would be necessary. I'm a loyal guy, and I love the company, so I wasn't looking forward to the coup d'état which was seeming like the only real option.


So ya, I am happy. I've graduated from Mount Royal (walking the stage on June 1), I have a decent paying job (though still hoping that they'll give me a raise when I become full-time/permanent), and I am still growing personally with many interesting opportunities on the horizon. Life is good.
