...tends to get in the way of my art nowadays. Been at this new job for almost a year now and it takes up a rather large chunk of my time. With another large chunk going to sleeping so that I can go right back into work again. Why?

Because I am a 911 Dispatcher, working the 12-hour night shift.

Not every night, thank the gods, but 2-3 days straight at least. Then I get a couple days off and go right back to it. Work 12 hours, sleep at least 7, then go right back into it. Not much time for art. But I do what I can and make time as I can. Likewise, I'll make the time to post what I have managed to do here. I am becoming quite the photographer and painter. ^_^

It's a good thing I love my job. Though I will say that this county is a handful.
