Bread & Butter or Day Job?

The last update was November 15 and it's already almost next year. Have I been lax or what? Well, yes and no, as the less-than-honest politicians say. I updated a couple of other sites related to my day job and that took more time than it needed; mostly due to some incompetence on someone's side (mine) but let's not point fingers, eh? Okay.

Bookbinding moves apace but because of my day job and the holidays, I have fallen seriously behind in my goals so, instead of feeling depressed and like a failure, I will move the so-far unattained goals to next year as New Year's Resolutions! Yes, that's the ticket. 

This year's unfulfilled goals will become next year's resolutions.

And what are those new New Year's Resolutions for 2008? Let's see if I can come up with some wildly unrealistic hopes and then work my rear-end off trying to accomplish some of them. Here goes, subject to editing, my final 2008 New Year's Resolutions:

Work at least an hour everyday on some aspect of bookbinding.

Complete a hard-bound book of my design with wooden covers.

Make a clamshell case.

Design and make a 2009 journal/diary in an edition of about 20.

Which brings me to my final question, perhaps of the year, when did a 'bread and butter job' become a 'day job' and if it's at night, is it still a 'day' job?

Here's to all of you in hopes that you can make your passion your bread and butter job. See you next year.
