Wow, what a Christmas gift! I logged into DA this evening after a very wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with family when I discovered that Snow Hunt got a Daily Deviation! :wow:

Snow Hunt by Cynnalia

My very first DD!! :boogie: Definitely a wonderful ending to an already lovely Christmas Eve! Thank you so much to everyone who fav'd and commented - I really appreciate it!

As for an update on how the job hunt is going, I am still unemployed, but it is not really surprising, given the economy and time of year. Hardly anyone is going to hire someone in December. To be honest, though, I've rather enjoyed my holidays, but come January I am really going to need to find something.

In the meantime, I'm very happy being able to go see "The Hobbit" whenever I want...:D I've seen it three times already and that I'll probably see it at least a couple more times. I love it! (And can I just mention it's a little disturbing how HOT Thorin is?? LOL) I know "The Hobbit" didn't please critics, but it pleased me and my mom, so we're happy!

Well, midnight just struck, so it's Christmas! A very merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! :hug:

A Chapter Ends

For the past six years I have worked in the Media Department of Erickson Air-Crane - I loved my job because I got paid to play in Photoshop and take photos and video of a kick-ass giant orange helicopter and who wouldn't love that?? LOL

But today marks the end of that wonderful journey...I got laid off this afternoon. I was not surprised because I knew Marketing was undergoing restructuring and there was increasing less and less communication from Corporate, but it's never easy to get that meeting notice from HR.

I'm not quite sure how I feel right now...I'm concerned about not being employed, of course, and I'll miss my co-workers, but I'm also relieved that the waiting is over and I can now concentrate on moving forward and finding something else even better. :)

Sorry for neglecting my journal for so long! I have been doing well and enjoying working with Poser and 3D art immensely. :)

One of the things I try to participate in each month is the challenges at RuntimeDNA. There are a bunch of amazing artists over there and I have not won anything as of yet, but for the July challenge, "One Light", I just found out I was given an honorable mention! :D I have not uploaded that piece to DA yet, but I will some time this weekend.

And it got even better at RuntimeDNA when I found out my latest piece, "Emerald Sea" was picked as an Image of the Week! I was so surprised and excited!
Emerald Sea by Cynnalia

In my previous journal entry I mentioned that there were going to be lay-offs at my job this week. I thought they would be today (Friday), but they were actually Wednesday. It was a horrible, stressful, depressing day and ranked up there as one of my worst days ever, right under getting cancer and being dumped. And I wasn't even laid off - I was one of the "lucky" ones that got to keep their job. But 117 other people weren't so lucky, including my best friend and my boss. I lost four people in my immediate department and, two days later, I still can't stop tearing up when I look at their empty desks. Today I have to clean up my friend's work area and go through his files and desk drawers - I am not looking forward to it.

I am grateful to still have my job, but right now it's hard to feel that under all the sadness and frustration. I have worked here five years and absolutely love my job and the people I work with, but now the family has been broken up and I really don't know where we're going to go from here.

I know I'll feel better about this in a couple of weeks, but it going to be a long road to put all the pieces back together.
