"Well, its not like people read journals here anyway"
3 years ago
I honestly didn't have anything super important to write about today, but the journal entry I've had up on the front of my gallery page for the last four months was a poem I wrote when I was rather deeply inebriated (I have a strange mental condition where the more I drink, the more I tend to get poetically literate) ...so in this case, I'm only replacing the entry with something more up-to-date.
So here's what I'm up to lately:
I started a drawing of two male corgi characters a couple weeks ago in collaboration with Lucius (VolsungKaesoron); and I made some pretty solid progress on them (although i put them on hold for now). About a week ago I started sketching another drawing based on Warhammer 40k lore. In this case, I'm drawing a personal character as an Astartes (space marine) of the Third Legion [The Emperors Children] as a unicorn and this has been my primary focus for drawing lately.
as far as IRL goes:
-In the words of my love, "its pretty Dyatlov" ["not great but not terrible": Quoted from Anatoly Dyatlov in HBO's *Chernobyl* miniseries -side note: the thing Dyatlov was saying "wasn't great but wasn't terrible" was in fact far worse than he was downplaying, and everyone knows he secretly knew it was worse in reality]
So at work, they laid off a bunch of folks in my factory division. We over-produced apparently. It seems that there is a certain reward for some of us workers for being pushed by the administration heads who were telling us "go faster, you're falling behind!" and "the more you get done, the better the bonus!". So now it appears the reward is to be 'laid off' for getting too much done too quickly.
-fortunately, I didn't get fired myself. but still... it stirs in my head that some folks I've worked with for years got fired for busting their asses.
my partner/assistant was transferred to a different part of the factory (at least she wasn't fired), so now I'm back to doing about two and a half peoples' worth of work.
I suppose that's the "not great but not terrible" part... I'm too reliable to get fired, but now I'm doing twice the work.
At least I'll be getting better physical fitness exercise at work; I've already got strong-looking arms, shoulders, and neck muscles that don't match the rest of my skinny-ass body from my job... just as long as I don't continue breaking down to various forms of chronic pain:)

yet they haven't fired me yet:)
