My work:

I work as a graphic designer, on a year-long contract at the moment. It will end August 1st and hopefully I will have another job lined up.

In August 2009 I was laid off from employment with a mapping company I had been with 4 years. I was shocked and hurt. I'm still not completely over it, and I struggle with making half my salary pretty much daily. But it is the only way to remain here in Newfoundland - to make less money.

Currently, I'm working 4 meetings a week as a Weight Watchers leader, and I love it.

DF and I have been together since 2006. It has been a rollercoaster but we love each other and I'm in it for the long haul, no matter what.
