I might think I'm important but I'm really just crazy

I'm on the backside of a bunch of tasks - three websites needing attention, the church newsletter, the town's newsletter and putting together the town's annual report all jammed into a short time period. All this outside of my regular job. So blogging has been pushed down my priority list. One of the funny things is that the work I do has a strong creative element to it though when several deadlines collide production can push creativity aside. Now here comes the thinking "I'm important" part. Each of these tasks has people with a interest in the conclusion of it (though in may be ongoing or reoccurring) so their reactions to the process and results matters to me in positive or negative feelings - which are generally positive. What it seems to boil down to is "this is what I do". I call myself a graphic designer, I've never taken classes in graphic design - only in drafting - old school, T squares, pens and pencils. It is an art form in it's own right when done well and I was no slough at it. After about 13 years of working as a draftsman I took a job which benefited from my experience but the job title was "graphic designer" and with the advent of personal computers I had found a niche producing visual content - one way or another. This is the "I'm really just crazy" part - It's also something I enjoy doing as work or for fun. Deadlines, schedule conflicts, troubleshooting computer and software problems, figuring out how to make things look right, cleaning up damaged photos, etc. I haven't gotten rich doing it but you never know how things may turn out

Movie recommendation I wanted to pass along, our Netflix a few weeks ago was "A Beautiful Mind", a splendid film (won some awards, Oscar or something) starring Russell Crowe. If you haven't seen it put it on your must see list. Tonight's movie is going back a bit, "The Rocketeer". I remember wanting to see this one when it came out in the early 90s, never got around to it.
