So...it's been a while
I kind of disappeared from LJ...it happens. Tumblr moves a lot more quickly and my life's been kind of weird the past several months. So here's a quick rundown:
I got fired around mid-to-late February. There were a lot of feelings surrounding this, the largest of which was embarrassment. It's never easy to admit these things and I spent about a week hyperventilating about what the fuck I was going to do. Then I got taken on full time at the second job and have since earned a raise that's put me back into stability. I still have a lot of mixed feelings about that last job, though I definitely do not miss it. Mainly because I feel like I was fired as a scapegoat for my supervisor's BS.
But that's reopening an old wound and let's not, shall we?
The "new" job can be tedious at times (what job can't?), but is mostly just awesome. I really get to flex my artistic muscles besides doing web based stuff. And the Commander likes my work enough that most of the time it remains reasonably intact (as opposed to ex-Lady Boss ripping everything to shreds for no good reason. Like forcing me to put Comic Sans on everything). Even when it doesn't, I understand her reasoning as to why.
The only draw back to this is that it leaves me creatively drained come quitting time. Most evenings I don't want to do a damn thing except talk to friends and game a bit...so that's what I've been doing. XD Not the best response ever. And addictive.
Most recently I acquired a new kitten, named Sillabub:
That's another awesome thing about the job: we can bring our pets to work. She still not too crazy about her carrier, but it's getting better. Next on the list is leash training.
Also: if there's anyone in the SouthEast Texas / SouthWest Louisiana area who wants a kitten my sister still has four she's trying to find homes for. Most of them are grey / tan, though.
So...yeah. That about sums it up. Job change, kitten, Mass Effect and Dragon Age. XD I'll try to get back to posting more regularly.
