worst year I ever had.
missed the job I've always dreamed about,
missed another great job.
my gf moved 10000km away from me for 8month. (should be back in 2month)oh, and most part of the year without any money.

moved across the world again (this time thankfully not for a girl although i did persuade one to come with me).
bought my first car (even though i don't actually own it).
got my work published for the first time (well, first time in a proper design book, not a 1001 websites rubbish).
cooked my own christmas dinner for the first time (which turned out pretty well considering i was drunk, ok so the girlfriend did most of it)and to top it all off, i got a ffffound invite.
not a bad year.

Renovated an old building into an office space;
Hired another full-time designer and a part-time office manager;
^ That took most of the year's efforts.Highlight: Took a day off, arose early, arrived back late, and the only time spent off of my motorcycle was while I was sitting in a tattoo chair. Insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but a very entertaining bit of downtime.
