HEY THERE!

Hey there, just another updates journal from your favorite business fox!

TEAM DOGE-N-FOX

and I are still the best team as we go through life together from regular life to work life to furry life. Still very much in love and everything else. Last month was our anniversary month so it was spent over my birthday with great friends while we all dined at Osaka Japanese Steakhouse in Bloomington. The start of this month was Norm's birthday and we had our own endeavors, but still got to be with each other that day during a filming session at 's house.

WORK LIFE

Last month marked my 10-year anniversary with the company I work for and my review went great. A long-term goal is to slowly migrate into a Systems Administrative roll. I hope to make some trips to our northerly facility to work more closely with our Systems Admin there. Along with getting my annual raise there is conversations about moving me into a higher-up pay group too.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR: MNFurs EVENTS DEPARTMENT

After a couple months or so in being fully in charge of the Events Department with I have a basic feel for how things will go moving forward. With the Spring well on its way to Summer I am sure things will pick up more and I have my own paw full of events I will be launching as well. Also, I am very happy to announce that is now part of Events. He expressed strong interest and since I need more minions on deck, perfect opportunity. He is also a good friend and I am glad to have him aboard.

I am still looking for additional assistance and my thread about it can be viewed HERE if anyone part of the MNFurs community is interested.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR: FURRY MIGRATION

My work with our annual convention is okay for the most part. Last year was my first full experience in working with the Registration Department more intimately and it's been a fun ride, but in the end, I still feel EH about it...I guess I have discovered that convention work is overall not my particular brand of coffee. This year is probably going to either be my last year on staff all together or I might try again with another department. I have been talking with Vulan on the possibility of joining programming as it's more aligned with what I do for MNFurs...We will see though as I will have a more clear answer as the convention draws closer.

OTHER STUFF

I should really start working on some more poetry, whether it's single poems or a project. Thanks to photography, which I do not regret taking up, that has been my main hobby for quite a while now. I am currently in the market to get a decent pocket-sized camera that can still shoot in RAW so I do not always have to lug my big Canon around.

Another thing that makes me smile is not only the wonderful boyfriend that I have, but the core group of friends that I have in my life too. You guys are all awesome!

I am also thankful for the general support I receive from the community and the rest of the MNFurs Staff and Board of Directors. It's been a journey ever since I started my work back in 2012 !

Also...Yip and yap!

CONCLUSION

Those are some small updates with me and I will have more in another journal in the future. Thank you for reading! :-D
