This year I will have spent 50% of my life with 50% of my arms, which will make celebrating my “Didn’t die day” extra special. The exact celebration is still up in the air, but I had my mate Robbie over at One Armed Graphics to hook me up with some 50/50 trophies. We should see those soon.

I’m not too focused on the 50/50 thing this year, more on rewarding myself for the last three years solid of subcontract work. I did some big hours in that time, got a little too close to adversely affecting my health and, worst of all, not spending enough time with Louise. What did I get out of it? Well, cash money sure and a wealth of experience in mechanical design, but I’m stuck on the lesson of finding the right work/life balance.

I should probably renovate my house….
