The New Job

So, finally, two weeks after the fact, it's time for a "job" post. For anyone that's interested in what I'm doing... well I have some bad news for you. It's not really easy to explain. In fact, I'm not even sure myself what I am, or will be doing. However, I can explain at the very least that it has to do with Flash and education. More or less, I assist in the making of Flash-animated videos that help people learn. It's a small company with only five other people in the office, and one telecommuter. I have my own desk, which I recently put tootsie rolls out on, yum!

More or less, it's a hella-perfect job. Everyone there is crazy nice, I'm doing something I like and am supportive of, and may potentially get to work even more closely on artistic things, including animation and some script writing. For now though, it's mostly learning about how things work, and seeing where I can fit. I'd say the one less than perfect thing are the hours. I was concerned about getting a full time job, and this one is full time, and then some. I get in at 8 each day, and get home usually somewhere between 6-6:30. Sometimes even 7:00. That leaves me even less time for my own projects. But ultimately, I feel like this might even be best. It really makes me have to give up my craziness about updating my personal projects in a timely manner, or pleasing people who want more than I can offer, and want it for free. For ten years I've been a slave to this mentality, and with a part-time job, aside from me continuing to be sickeningly poor, I'd probably continue with it.

So, that's the scoop. I strung an ethernet chord all throughout the house to get my internets back (thanks to the gratiousness of Brian's parent's), and you can expect more sketching and blogging from me in the near future.
