A handsome piece of deformity.

And no, I’m not referring to the city I’m living in, even though it’s snowing like a motherfucker and sweet summer — or, at the least, the sweet summer-like weather — has been chased away. I’m referring to the fact that I’m updating this page after a several week absence.

That means that something significant has happened.

Drum roll, please?

Thank you.

I learned that, as of this very afternoon, I will still be working the same job next year as I have been this year.

Unfortunately, every rose has its thorn. Others, who I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the past year or two, who are considered either temporary or probationary, have been sent — euphemistically speaking, of course — packing.

At present, I’ve mixed feelings about the whole matter.
