five thousand shades of blue

merry christmas, happy hanukkah, blessed solstice
This time of year is so hectic, yet at the same time spawns much reflection on the impending end of another year. Looking back on 2003 I'd have to say it was another challenging year, but the outlook going into 2004 is definitely brighter. We're actually paying bills on time — okay, so there's not much left over when all's said and done, but it's a definite plus to not be constantly 2 months behind on everything.
Later today, I will be taking a resumé and application down in an attempt to get on at the same company An works at. I'm torn between going for Customer Service or Tech Support. Customer Service I am really good at; Tech Support seems big and scary. However, An says that I already know a heck of a lot more than some of the newbie techs know when they first get hired. Tech Support also makes $2 an hour more than Customer Service. I'm torn. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
I also have made zero inroads for holiday gifts. Very little time, very little money, a combination of which is pretty fatal for gift-making or -giving. Yes, I know, it's Christmas Eve. An and I have an idea for a collaborative effort that we could conceivably start tonight but probably not finish, so they will have to be late. I didn't even make an online holiday card like I've done in the past. But ya know? I refuse to be too stressed about this. The holidays are supposed to be a joyful, pleasant time.
I plan on using my four days off in a row to do some reading, possibly writing up some holiday cards (ah, so they're late. They just extend the holiday, right?), and definitely some sleeping. Possibly compiling a CD that I promised a friend, since that seems like an enjoyable thing to do.
So wherever you are and whatever you do? I hope you are surrounded by love and the peace of the season.

this just not enough…?
