For the past two weeks while on vacation I’ve been dreading going back to work. Not for any particular reason except that snowboarding, sitting around, watching movies, and making movies seems like a lot more fun than working!

I’m happy and surprised that today when I stepped back into the office, I felt invigorated. I felt excited about my job, my coworkers, and the project that I am working on. I love how my job is challenging… how I have to really work at it… and how I have to use my education, experience, and of course — my brain.

I’m excited to start Toastmasters next week and see how it can improve my confidence, speaking skills, and how I can contribute to the company. I’m excited to try my hardest, not slack off, and really make a difference as much as possible.

I love vacation as much as anyone. But I feel very grateful to have a job in the video game industry where I can use my intelligence, am not underestimated for my age, where I can go to the gym in the morning, and go boarding after work or on the weekends! A win-win situation, really

I’m working on putting together a little video from snowboarding over the holidays but it might take me a couple days while I get back into the swing of things here at work.

How are you enjoying getting back to work?

P.S. Don’t forget to watch the World Juniors Gold Medal game… Canada vs. Sweden at 4 PM Pacific Time! So excited.
