1. Today’s my last day here at Design Services, bringing to a close my two years and six months of employment at realistically the best job I’ve ever had. I would be sad, and I certainly was earlier in the week during the lunches my coworkers treated me to, but today I’m just ridiculously stressed out… There’s a mountain of work to file away, pass on, wrap up… It’s so much easier to just get fired.<\/p>\n

2. The pin was removed from my hand on Tuesday. I will never again take for granted the privilege and blessing of two functional hands. And the ability to shower without a bag over one of them. My left pinkie is still a little splayed out and most likely always will be to a degree. It doesn’t look unnatural unless you’re looking for it, though.<\/p>\n

3. I registered mattsuffern.com<\/a> yesterday, where I’ll be transferring my online files. For a while, I ruminated on the possibility of getting a more creative domain name, but the one I ended up with is versatile and won’t become obsolete.<\/p>\n
