I've really screwed up! (short-term)
13 years ago
So, this is a hard journal for me to put together because quite frankly, I'm quite QUITE screwed at the moment!! Long term, it looks like I have a full time job lined up and a holiday - but short-term....oh man short term...I have no idea where I am going to find the money just to live. It really is very stupid. Basically I booked a holiday a long time ago when I could afford it...and now I can't. But because others are relying on me, I can't get out of it despite knowing I won't enjoy it as a result. So all the money that would go towards me existing now has to go towards this holiday and I have no idea how I'm going to cope basically! I've had a couple of interviews this month which is great, but they cost a bomb to travel to in the first place and take funds away. I HAVE to go, like I have to pay bills, but its all very frustrating. Things like the poker tournament were free for me to go to, so don't contribute to the hole I find myself in at the moment - but things like travel do. Seems I've been here, there and everywhere recently, and through no real fault of my own, everyone seems to be summoning me at the moment. Difference is, they aren't yet giving me any money.
Long term however, I hope I am sorted - but if not I'll be stacking shelves at the nearest supermarket as soon as this god forsaken holiday is out of the way.
What I'm finding it hard to ask is that if ANY of you were looking to commission me, like my art, whatever - right now it would mean so much more to me then ever. I don't wanna ask for freebies right now, I wanna earn my way - and if I could get to a level of commissions that I was at in the last couple of months it might make the next couple of weeks bareable. I know this is kinda desperate, but I'm not sure where else to turn. I can't get a job with this silly holiday on the horizon and I can't cancel it either. I've just gotta stump up.
So please, if you can - give me a break!
On a lighter note, I;m glad everyone has liked the new pages of 'Matter' so far, I was wondering how they might go down as they are a bit....'blue'! I'll have some more up real soon. :3

I'll sound the alarm.....
Its really awful, but this is my work atm.
Speaking of which you know you can count on me to toss a few your way right now....
This month I carefully budgeted, but then its like 'hey we need to interview ya', and then 'we need to interview you as well'. Start taking things like that out of the budget and I get slightly screwed! Its all fine in the long term one of them says 'hey heres full time really well paid work' but until then I gotta scrabble around for cash. Its not fun but hey, its nothing new either!!
Okay, yea, song cue there, but it's true....
For two, I feel like I've arsed you about 'Matter' so much that I owe it to you.
For three, I really like your art and would love to commission you
And Lastly, I can't leave a fellow lion hanging.
