odc: fresh start / new beginning

currently working on redesigning my website. the previous flash site was working well but had major trouble with search engines which required nasty work-around which those engine really don't like. the new site will also be much easier to maintain because it's wordpress powered and is designed for ease of use. it's a highly flexible system though and i'm having great fun puzzling it all together.

the way this shot turned out initially i wasnt' happy with but it was really about the only idea i had for today. so while a bed shot won't ever get good it's now atleast over-the-top on it's own lol. sorry about that... :) it's sort of similar to the car interior from a few days back although this isn't HDR. it's a single shot, desaturated and dirtied up with some preset in topaz. although it's presets i find kinda overdone in general, i did like what it did here for a once in a while thing

went to the hospital today for my ear. got an hearing test which proved my right ear isn't up to spec. the nasal exam was quite different then i imagined and nothing to fear about at all (if it wasn't clear to you all, i'm a sucker when it comes to hospitals, i truly don't know how my wife puts up with that "smell" in them every day!).

now i'm getting a CT scan later this week on which they can inspect my hearing bones and mainly the cochlea which is the shell shaped bones near your ear that is part of your hearing system. the results will only be handled again in 3 weeks though! since the doc has (another) vacation (and i don't like switching doctors all the time) so beginning of march hopefully they and I know more.

Since the recent exit of a certain person from my working environment, things are so much less stressed...

We have a new lady who has taken over and on her first day, the recruitment agency sent her a pretty floral arrangement which now sits on her desk, symbolising - for me - a fresh start and a brighter future.

I almost look forward to going to work now.

Almost...
