The Brick Wall

There's a brick wall on the horizon, as was discussed in an impromptu conversation with coworkers this morning. We're on a train track headed for that brick wall at about 100 mph without brakes. The train is my company. The wall is eminent doom. The only thing we don't know it is just how much track we have left to go.

So, I've decided it is time to dust off the old work and figure out what to do about my website situation. I currently have no skills in actual site creation. So I am forced to buy a template. I hate this idea, but I'd rather my work look polished and be up on the web for people to see than have it be on some crummy site that doesn't show my work off as well as it needs to.

I'm not quite decided on what to do yet. I love my job and would really like to ride the train into the wall. Because what if for some reason, we swerve at the last second and continue on to publish more news about Sacramento's regional business happenings? I'd love to be a part of it. I'm comfortable, I know my place here, and I actually like my coworkers. So I'll probably stay until the end, in the hopes that the end gets pushed off for awhile longer.

But just in case we hit that wall head first, I need to be ready.
And so begins my efforts to create a new design identity for myself. My efforts to put together a portfolio that hasn't seen the sun for 3 years. My efforts to keep on keepin' on.

P.S. - God? ... I'm going to need you by my side every step of the way. You've always been with me and have given me the skills to take care of myself, so I'm glad I can count on you now.
