Another year coming to a close! (200 Watchers! :D)

General
Well, another year is almost at its close, so I deem it necessary to write my once in a blue moon journal! ^^;
To start, I have been getting the hang of getting some new ideas for myself when it comes to drawing, I think i finally see improvement in myself that I'm happy with, but I'll not be satisfied until I'm at a level that has me feel accomplished! Still, I strive to get better, and I will continue to aim higher!
Second, work had nearly completely drained me of all motivation during the latter half of the year! It was a combination of multiple factors that resulted in a rather unsatisfying work life. The Service Manager was moved to another location, my GM was spotty on attendance (due to events that I honestly understand and would've preferred he stay home during it all) and I was left to run the shop by myself with BARELY any of the knowledge needed to run it properly. I got to experience what it's like to be a GM at a shop with poor attendance and an unmotivated work crew! It sucked :D
Atleast, however, they noticed the amount of hell they put me through during the past couple months and actually made up for it in some capacity. Not only was I able to take the entire Christmas week off fully paid, my bonus was upped from 10% of the store's pool to 25%...which was staggering. I was honestly on the idea that I wasn't able to buy any of my family gifts for Christmas, but with the large bonus, I was able to buy EVERYONE exactly what they wanted, which made me feel very happy! I do believe things happen for a reason, and I think the bonus was given to let me follow through with my gift giving! ^^
And, of course for last...
200 Followers was reached about a month or 2 ago...I honestly can't believe how many of you are actually interested in my art. I can't thank you all enough for the support and I'm really happy that you all see something more than just rough sketches of a madman obsessed with certain ideas ^^;
You're all insane and I love you all for it! I'll do my best to keep improving and hopefully continue to make you all happy!
That looks to be it! New Years is a jump, skip, and a hop away. With everything coming to a close soon, I'd like to say Merry Christmas, Happy New year, and I'll see you all in 2026! ^^
