hubby got a new job

yeah... found out about it a few days ago, but he just got the email confirmation. I can finally write it down. I am superstitious that way. I won't say a word about things if it's not certain yet.

Anyhow, it's a M-F 9-5 job. No more night shift. Yippee!!! And it's what he likes to do, more analytical stuff. Hope it's a good place.

i hate birthdays

mine specifically. I cried last friday. I felt crappy at work. First I found out some people get promoted and then my boss was putting me in an unfair situation. Anyway, the situation was resolved, but I was still bothered by it. I guess birthdays are bad cause that's when you take stock to see where you are in life. I do think that I should be better careerwise than where I am now. I was also upset cause I think partly is my personality. If I really don't care to be a manager, why do I care if someone is? Is it too much to expect someone competent to be a manager? Hubby thinks that I am too much of a realist, and expect the world to be orderly and fair. I guess that's why I like being a student. When you are a student, if you study hard, you will get the grade. That's no luck, no politics involved. I should learn to not let things bother me so much.

my panning shots

I finally went out and took some practice shots. Need to take more pics to get good. I walked out to the direction of the neighborhood park and took some shots of cars and practiced my panning skill. Didn't practice too long, around 45 minutes.










This is not a panning shot. Just me goofing around. But it does stick to the same theme of the practice. The shot implies motion.
