2024 in review

General
Oh boy, 2024 was a roller coaster of a year. There's been a lot of ups and downs this past year. I can only hope 2025 will be better. I will start with the ups.
Ups
I became a supervisor at work this past spring. My former supervisor took a job elsewhere and nominated me as acting supervisor. The actual supervisor role should open up as soon as the position reclassification goes through HR. It has taken an absurdly long time to happen though. It has been nice though as supervisor. I have trained one new employee so far and taken on a lot of responsibility.
Fursonacon: We moved to a new venue and omg I love it. So much more space but still small con feeling. Plus we finally broke 1000 attendees. Woooo! As the con continues to grow, I am learning more and more what I should do for my department (video games) forward.
Downs
My fiance lost his job early this year due to downsizing. That put a wrench into our wedding plans, which will now be next year (need to get on that). It took a few months for him to get a new job, plus he's making more money.
December just...kind of sucked. Fiance got pneumonia and I had to do everything. Cooking, cleaning, decorating. I should still try to go for a spa day soon to relax my mind and body. December wasn't done yet though. I learned my uncle got a staph infection after a recent surgery he went in for, and that put him in the hospital in critical condition. His chances of surviving were very slim and unfortunately he didn't make it, passing away yesterday. It's been pretty rough for my family.
I really hope 2025 shapes up to be much better. My partner and I will be getting married. We plan to go to Anthrocon again. Gonna take a nice honeymoon vacation somewhere. I am thinking Disney World. But yeah, unfortunately the orange turd will be back in office. I hope life is hell for him and his cronies. Anyway, may 2025 be a better year for us.
