obliviousally_ljI realized today I haven't really been posting a lot to LJ. I mean, I've been posting art, and that's good.
But I guess, aside from stupid things at work and my lack of hours/monies, I haven't had much to complain about lately. Which is pretty awesome. We've been doing awesome plot stuff for our roleplay. That's what's been keeping me the most busy. My evenings are generally occupied with lulzy roleplay and such now.
Angie's been coming down on payday weekends, when we have the money to drive up and kidnap her. She's planning on getting a car when she gets her finanical aid and, if she doesn't transfer to the Trumbull Campus, she'll be coming down on the weekends. Which is FUCKING AWESOME.
Work is a pain in the ass. Every day is a day closer to me either not coming back or just walking out. I'm really hating the management. Not the job itself. The job is a breeze. Which is probably the only reason I'm still there. But our TL is a fucking idiot and shouldn't be in a management position. And I'm barely making 30 hours EVERY TWO weeks. In fact, I don't think I have since I started at this location last year. And I'm not even sure about that.
TJ says I should apply for classes at the KSU Trumbull Branch. I'd, at least, get finanical aid and I'd be going to school. It's not like we're putting out much money in the way of bills here, either. I just need to scrounge up registration/application fees, is all. I'll have to see how much they are. And if we somehow end up in the Kent area, well, I can just transfer. I'll have to see what classes the Trumbull Branch offers. Maybe I can just get the generic bullshit out of the way. Or take something weird. I don't know.
I really wish I had a better turnover rate with my commissions and I could take those more regurarly. It'd probably make at least as much as I do at my job right now. But my turnover rate sucks balls, so that's not going to fly.
Angie got a library card the other week for the library here. Me and TJ both can't get another one until we pay off our fees for things that were lost. And, well, we're cheap. But Angie put our names on the card and now that the library has a self checkout for books, we can just use her card and get stuff! This is awesome because it gives us something else to do: READ! I've got a bunch of the Marvel Civil War books, which are much better than the core Civil War book. And TJ found a book on how to make fleece animals! We'll have to photocopy the patterns for future use.
I still haven't heard anything back from the Mocha House about the local arts showcase thing. Which is kinda pissing me off. I got an initial reply, after I inquired. She asked me for references and links to my art, so I sent those along. But I haven't heard anything back. I'd prefer a 'this isn't what we're looking for' over silence. But if they decline MY art after that godawful horse's head in ballpoint pen on lined notebook paper, I will cut a bitch.
I'm chugging along on commissions. Mostly badges, though I need to get some of my larger pieces done soon, as well. But every step is a step closed to whittling down my queue. Just so I'll have to end up taking more because I need the monies. It's a vicious cycle. But I've still been pretty happy with my humans lately. It's like re-learning how to draw some things, since I need to work up a new style for faces so they're not all weaboo anymore.
But, overall, things are good. And I can't complain about that.

Date: 2009-04-22 03:53 pm (UTC)i do miss the branch, though. i was so super cozy and nice. ♥
ETA: and i totally hear you on the turnover rate. mine is so so so so bad. i charge like half what i think my art is worth... $20 for something like this (http://suzanami.deviantart.com/art/Commission-calicokatt-114191981) instead of $40+ because i take so long and i feel that's a cheat to customers. :(
