"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year’s course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." – Carl Jung

I am almost done editing the audio that I have been consumed with. Thank goodness the consultant that recorded the audio has a pleasant voice. An unexpected benefit of listening to this CMMI material for hours is that I can likely teach the class now if they wanted me to.

Sigh.

I am now importing the .wav files into a Flash template and saving as .swf files. Then I have to synch up each .swf file with the appropriate CBT slide.

Sound fantastically boring?

It is.

However, I am receiving accolades from all levels of management for this project. Sad to me in a way. It is easy no brainer stuff. Yet when you are dealing with an organization that has never used this technology they act as if you just discovered the wheel. Admittedly, I find it hard to be proud of something that comes so easily to me.

A new task assigned to me at work is to design a concert tee shirt. Seriously. I am not joking. We are having a Battle of The Bands and I am the promoter for our division band. I need to develop some flyers, some cd art, tee shirts, etc. All developed material will be sold to benefit United Way. Kinda cool, huh? Oh, and yes, I work in a stuffy, conservative, insurance and financial services company.

I have a cool job.

It is perfectly suited for me. It is the perfect combination of hands on creative writing, design and development work and strategic management work.

Life is good.
