I may as well note this while it's fresh-ish in my mind.

So, I mentioned before that my Pointy-Haired Boss is "getting better"... the sad thing is, if she hadn't been so pointy-haired in the first place, I wouldn't have been able to pull like eighteen months of work out of my ass in three weeks ( Read more... )

I've decided that I was sufficiently self-demonstrative of intelligence today that I decided to continue in that vein and put my unfinished post queue into a separate file that can be backed up vs. the temporary "draft" that regularly gets overwritten. For once ( Read more... )

So I got my computer to be less asstastic by way of figuring out how the System Recovery thing worked. Basically, that whole extra mini-drive that I have for some reason? I have a choice to say, "Wipe everything and start fresh."

As annoying as that is, it worked, and I have Photoshop CS 3 on now. Yes, 3--4 is a whole other setup, and my main ( Read more... )

The workshop lesson I'm having the most trouble applying is "80% selling, 20% telling" [as applies to a resumé]. One of the examples given:TELLING: Managed growth in the company's Western US markets
SELLING: Closed $200M in sales (125% of quota), building Western Region to #1 revenue producer in the company.
The problem is when I read my resumé, I ( Read more... )

I'm curious as to how they figure this out, but... not THAT curious ¬_¬; [read: LOTS of voyeurism, apparently ( Read more... )

I believe I've mentioned my love of streams, i.e. Ustream/Livestream broadcasts. The main reason is the ones I watch tend to be art-related [only a couple haven't been] and that kind of guilts me into drawing, so I tend to get a lot of drawing work done during streams.

Spike's are usually good, because I learn something each time [including things ( Read more... )

Another fable, one I need to remind myself about now and again:C didn't get his driver's license until his mid-twenties. This became a point of contention with X, who before would get annoyed at having to pick up C instead of C just driving himself over. At one gathering, X went on at length about how C was "lazy for not getting his license sooner ( Read more... )

Oh, I had a follow-up, didn't I ( Read more... )

I hate the conflicting interests I have. I'm drawn to the DJ equipment in Best Buy whenever we go in, even though I have close to no idea what any of it does. I want to master DDR and Rock Band [drums only]. I want to read up on pretty much any subject in existence, and I want to become fluent in about fifty different languages ( Read more... )

It has reached the point where I have to solicit my own fan works now if I want them--not a complaint as much as an observation: It's exceedingly rare that someone will say, "HAY I LIEK YUO'RE AVVIE, I DRAWDED FAN ARTZ" or draw a fan picture of the random characters I occasionally post completely out of context and with no explanation. So, I'm back ( Read more... )
