(Very) Temporarily Employed.
Posted by quatrina on March 25, 2011
Yeah I’m pretty bad at this, I know. What can I say, my life is dreadfully uneventful.
Today I went to a staffing agency about a temp job. It will only last a week, but to be honest, if it was longer I think I probably wouldn’t have taken it. It has to do with jewelry distribution so there’s metal detectors and uniforms and ridiculous security, and the more I think about it, the more I suspect it will grate on me, but I think I can handle it for five days. Hopefully if they find me another thing after that it will be something closer to what I’d like. And something that starts a little later because having to be at work at 7 in the morning sounds awful.
I have also been doing some freelance work for a company. They seemed to be happy with the first set of things I designed for them, and now I’ve got another thing to do, so if I can do well with that it could lead to a more regular part time job. So I guess yay for doing something I actually went to school for? Other than that there’s another guy who wants me to do illustration for him, and I was supposed to meet him yesterday but something came up and that has been postponed. He seemed pretty nice and he really liked my manga resume, so hopefully he’ll get back to me soon.
That’s about all I have to report on my life at the moment. Other than I put a couple of my screenprints in a convention art show last weekend. They did not sell. I’m starting to wonder if I should keep bothering with that, honestly. :\

Congrats on the job. 7am may seem early but you’ll get used to it.
Don’t give up on trying to sell your stuff. People are still hanging on to their disposable income. I imagine cons are still your best bet.
