Hi everybody,

Well, it's 1.03 AM here in the UK, and I'm still at work. I have a all the loading screens for the computer game I'm working on finished by New Year, as seeing as I break up for my 'holidays' on the 21st December, and don't come back 'till Jan. 2nd, that basically means I have to have them all finished by next Friday!!!

I've ten left to do now, so that's more than one per working day - which is why I'm still here, putting the finishing touches to today's screen - boy, it's been a long day...

So, what's this post for? Am I complaining? "oh me oh my, life's so hard..."?

Hell no.

I am the luckiest SOB I know. A year ago I was stuck in retail hell, and I'd have given my back-teeth to be where I am right now. I am under tremendous pressure to finish this work on time before I'm moved on to a new project (concept art for a brand spanking new title - how cool is that?), and, d'ya know, I couldn't be happier. I am so buzzed up, I get up every morning and grin like an idiot 'cos I can get back to work and start all over again...

And what's one of the the integral parts of my day? You guys. I only have access to this board whilst I'm at work, and my every working day is enriched and lightened by these boards, so I guess this whole post is just one big rambling, tired, bleary eyed 'thank you', and a hearty slap on the back to the mods, reporters, members et al that make this board the great place it is to hang out...

Cheers guys and girls!

... so... sleeepy...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz

I was wondering what time it was over there, that you were back on the boards.

Glad we can help you through it all.

Good luck with your work.

Hey, we're glad to have you around too! I'm glad we can give you a tiny little window into the outside world... okay, a window with odd distorting colors, but a window nonetheless.

Glad you're holding onto a teeny bit of your sanity, and that you're managing to still enjoy your job in the process. Let us know when you're done so we can return the back-patting!
