Just guessing here but 2012 seemed like a good year for you, best of luck in 2013, it seems your efforts have been rewarded.

It had its ups and downs.

The ups included finishing grad school and getting a new job. I like what I do and who I work with and things are starting to come together in a way that makes sense to me. I’ve got an opportunity in the planning stages right now that would be huge if I land it. And the CES thing is flattering. I didn’t expect them to go with it when I suggested that someone should go, but they agreed and I’m one of the two people being sent.

The downs, OTOH, included looking for that new job and all the anxiety about money that goes with it. It took me months of searching, including having to move three times in five months — first at the end of July because my lease ran out and I needed a place to live while I found a job, then to a temporary place in October when I started my job, then three weeks ago when I found a permanent address. I also have to figure out money and how to pay back the student loans and bills that piled up this past year. Oy.

Overall, though, not a bad year. I think 2013 is going to be great year.
