Commissions: Hiatus - | - Request: Hiatus - | - Tumblr - | - Ask Me Anything Catching up is the jest of this journal. Real life has taken priority as management does the absolutely nothing to help at work. So before I get all depressive about any angle on life, let me break it down, shall I?
████ Birthday Wishes
I want to start off by thanking absolutely everyone on every network (dA/fA/Weasyl) and everyone on Skype for wishing me a happy 24th birthday. I know most of you couldn't do more then that but I appreciate it nonetheless. You all are awesome and you make me feel warm and welcome to have friends like you X3c
████General Art News
I haven't been able to get to do much in the way of art which is why I haven't posted news about sketch request since... shoot, July? Looks like a little after Anthrocon. This was because pretty much everything at work seemed to go downhill since then. I need to tell a little back story for you to understand, or at the very least, give you a more colorful read:
I've worked in the Returns Department at a culinary store that will not be disclosed in this journal. I believe up until April, there were three employees working in my department. Our company got bought out and joined with another website, both working under this new investor which I am not naming either. They had a strict HR policy about anyone who has had ANY felony, even if they were clean and off parole, had to be fired, no ifs ands or buts. Well, a few new positions opened up and both the co-workers who were working with me applied and got the positions (I applied for it too, but the over all management decided she liked fresh meat(This is not sexist, this is just my point of view)).
So from early July to present, my department has consisted of me and a package material handler that has been trained to help me. Between the two of us, I am barely getting ahead each day. I would not be so behind on work if I had not been called by an amazingly idiotic fool who somehow manages to get away with more BS then anyone in the company put together, to work in his department because he couldn't manage keeping his workers to come in and work (gosh, what a concept). He called me to work /HIS/ department for a week which, with no one in my department to work returns, has put me a week behind. Now my ass is getting ridden for being behind on returns. I wonder how that could have happened.
I'm ranting at this point because I honestly think this job is not worth the hassel, but as there's not much in the way of work, I'm going to ride this job for a bit longer. I'm going to eventually get back to school so I can apply for higher paying jobs at better companies that do not make you want to hang yourself from the pressure, just the other petty stuff in life.
Apologizes for that last comment, but it really is not worth what they pay me to stay there, they give the absolute minimal for raises as well.
████ Furry Update!
So, aside from being too tired to draw and aging another year, I'd like to update that I went to not one, but two cons this year, and living situation permitting, I'll try and attend some more next year. I'm already putting some money aside for Texas Furry Fiesta and I'll confirm it once I get the funds to stay at the hotel. As far as anthrocon goes... I'm not too sure. While it was amazing to visit the east coast again, there was little to no people I recognized or clicked with which made me feel like I was back in high school on the first day. Everyone seems to have a group of friends they recognized and it basically left me either stalking the Den, Artist Ally (Didn't even visit the art auctions), or just hanging out with the peeps I roomed with.
Even though next year is supposed to be a secret society theme, I have doubts on if I should show up. It's probably not worth the price of the flight. So I might keep it local and at least attend Rocky Mountian Fur Con (It's in my own back yard and AC made me too broke to visit!)
Anyways... I think that's a summery of what's been going on and a little bit of plans on what I want to do next year. In the mean time,I'll be watching awesome art pop up and hope to chat with ya'll sometime.
