Well, tomorrow is my last day of work before my week of vacation. I hesitate to use the word "vacation" since it really isn't one - I'm taking off a week to take my final web design class at CTA. While I'm excited to be attending the class, my happiness is somewhat lessened by the bad timing of all of this. With everything going on at work, this vacation is starting to feel more like a burden. :P

Surprisingly, my desire to complete my web design certification was somehow more important when I worked at my other branch. I saw it as a way out of a really unpleasant situation, but since I've moved to the back office and have started my new job, it doesn't seem as important. It's probably because I'm content at my job for the first time in a very long time and for the first time I'm not looking for a way out. It completely surprises me since my job is something that no one would've guessed I would've liked in a million years - myself included. Odd that I'm so happy with it. :)

It kind of feels like after ten years at the bank, I finally woke up and realized I had a career. :P

On a completely different note, a cast list was finally announced for "Brooklyn Boy" at South Coast Rep, which Mark & I are planning to see in October. :) I'm very excited that we're going to get the chance to see it - especially since I don't know if I'll be able to make it back to NY in time to see it on Broadway next year. :P

Well, I'm exhausted. :P I'm off to grab a shower and crawl into bed... I hope you all have a nice evening. :)

Edited to add: The icon doesn't look like me at all, but eh... I tried. ;)
