It's a wrap!
Finally, the company's new site has been launched and put out there. Gone are the 10-12 hour days from the last month, taking the laptop home from work to tweek stuff over the weekend and all the other silly nonsense that has led me to seriously question my career choices.
Now, I just have to look forward to the public getting a hold of it and breaking everything in half.
Seriously though, I made up my mind before the summer that I was going to move back home to Pennsylvania next spring after my lease is up. My parents are getting up there and my mom is taking care of not only my legally blind and deaf 77 year-old father, but her own 90-year-old mother as well. And she's running strong at 67. Truly an amazing lady.
As for the whole web design thing... I fell into it over the last ten years. I never intended to be a web designer/developer. I got my Bachelor's in Mathematics with the intention of taking a few years off from school and go back for my teaching certification later. Now it's been thirteen years since I graduated college and I think it's time to bite the bullet and go back and get my certification.
On a side note, I'm thinking of getting a new tat. I got a Tolkien quote ("Faithless is the man that says farewell when the path darkens." [in Elvish, no less], right shoulder) in 2007 and got a old-school Bat-symbol (left shoulder) last summer before the movie came out. To keep in line with the 'geek' theme, I was thinking of one of these:
Another Tolkien quote: "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost", again in Elvish, across my upper back.

Banzai Institute (http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/gernsback/207/invinst.gif) on my calf

A SG tat (for the free account for life, 'natch
)
Something else entirely. Maybe some ideas? Of course, since I'm looking at going into public education, I should mention that I gotta be able to hide it in work clothes.
