Rough Day at the Day Job

Just got off the phone with the department manager at my day job. He told me that the company is “rightsizing” itself by eliminating 40% of the products I’m responsible for. I’m bummed. Over the last few years I’ve taken a 20% cut, then another a 15% cut, and now a 40% cut. It’s death by a thousand slices, or more drastically, death by three big slices. All is not lost — I’m optimistic about the future. I’ll have more time to devote to my career creating books.

I started painting the backdrop for my cover image before I got the bad news. I like the work I did today. Enough said.
