While not exactly as I would have planned my master plan seems to be unfolding, albeit with a slight hiccup: The whole get a new job; take my vacation time and give notice. But in my mind some pre-work "sabbatical time" is just as good.

That interview way back when (pre Thanksgiving) seems to have paid off. Out of the blue I get a call from the HR guy and as if nothing happened, he asks if I am still interested. Hmmm... YEAH. Well it seems like things are on the fast track regarding that position. All of which strengthens my conviction to let things happen as they will. My favorite fortune cookie wisdom states: "Others will pursue that which will retreat."

Oh, and I had a chance to meet with a Creative Director at Mullen the other day. That was HUGE. Anytime I can have someone take a look at my book, I'm all for it. I would say it went pretty well. He said I showed some promise, but obviously am a little rough around the edges. But all I want is a Jr. position. A place to hone my craft and get quality/honest feedback. Tear me to shreds if it will make me better.

There was also a firedrill during my interview so that was interesting. Thanks for helping out Alex. You da man!
