The day job company had a pretty big layoff on Thursday, and our department lost a third of its people. I'm a bit relieved, mainly because I'm the most junior guy there (not by much, but the most senior in my position was one of the guys who got the axe...)

Instead I actually got a modest raise, a laptop, and a Blackberry, which may go a long way to alleviating the "hm, I could use both of those things" thoughts I was having. Of course, there'll be more work to go around, but that's hardly a bad thing either, as slow as things are at the moment.

Spent most of the weekend dealing with a glitch in our software. Cuts into the relaxation time, but the overtime isn't bad, especially since I'm leaving for Hawaii in two weeks. Oy, that's going to be a mess... still need to go pick up a swimsuit and a pair of sandals, for that matter.

Haven't been indulging in much anime in the last couple of weeks, since I just had a pretty solid subtitling stint and I half-expect another before the trip. Working on subtitles isn't exactly relaxing, but it does reduce the appeal of watching yet more of the stuff in the hours you have free.

I figure I'll have plenty of time to catch up on the trip.
