this time last year had just started using css for positioning, worked for a shit company (my first in web design), for shit wages (15g - I needed the experience), had to coerce them into designing to web standards, didnt care about their customers, used pirate software for everything, used illegally downloaded images from Getty for everything. Got fired from company this year, had a fairly depressing month looking for new job, had to cancel family holiday, realised just how completely different my previous company was to everything else out there, realised how glad I was to be away from (most of) the people I was working with,found a new job freelancing earning more money than previous and being my own boss. And had a baby girl (see avatar)...
Yeah, its been a blast!
