Photo Dump: The Past Few Weeks

It's a slow day at work, and I'm still a little sickly and not feeling much like working. So what the heck, here's some photos to catch up on the past few weeks!

I feel another post coming momentarily. Thanks for looking!

Grumblegrumble.

In other news, yesterday I got my annual review and raise info. Underwhelming. I figure my boss doesn't actually have much say over the raise amounts, but that doesn't keep it from being disappointing. Better than nothing? Sure. But after factoring in the increased taxes and healthcare costs, it's not much of a raise at all. Blah.

At least I have our annual bonus to look forward to next month--that's been pretty good the past couple years, so hopefully this year will be good too. That's always a nice chunk to pay stuff off and pad our savings a bit for future trips and whatnot.

Ugh, this illness is sticking with me. I generally feel okay, but it's been 2 weeks now of clearing my throat and coughing to no avail. It's sad that my triumphs presently are coughs that actually produce some gook. TMI, sorry. Last night I started feeling a bit off, too, like maybe I'm not completely over whatever has been causing this anyway. I'm tempted to knock off early today and go take a nap, but frankly the office is just as quiet and relaxing so maybe I'll just hang out here anyway.

Now lunchtime!

So lonely. So very lonely.

Not me (well, not really). I refer to my poor, pitiful, long-suffering photography community, shutterbuggery. I really neglected it last year, and would like to resuscitate it here in 2015. The idea of the place is for folks to share photos with a bit more background and detail than the other LJ photo comms--why and how did you make that image? And also to discuss photographic tools and techniques. If nothing else, I may just regard it as my own personal photo journal where I can toss up a photo and talk photographic geekery now and then (not that I am shy about doing that here). But ideally it would be an interactive place where others post too. So anyway, if you're into photography, go check it out and join up if you like what you see! I made a couple posts today, would love to get some participation.
