About this time last year I made a post about taking on a second job.

It's... Been hell. Retail is awful. I haven't been able to find any balance at all between the two jobs, to the point where I haven't taken on any commissions in months. I'm months behind, unable to catch up, unable to get enough time in the week to work on commissions at a good speed. Hell, this past month I haven't managed to do any drawing because of the Christmas period. I'm now exhausted, deflated and honestly I think a little depressed about being at this job still. It's completely taken over everything and there's very little I can do about it right now because I've got things to pay off. I need to pay off my bike, I need to pay off my credit card, finish paying off my phone, pay off a graphics card after having to emergency replace one with a loan. Also apparently HMRC are still convinced I owe them money despite repeatedly telling them "no, you fucked up, I shouldn't be punished for this" so I'm going to have to ring them about that because apparently they still haven't gotten the message. But it may still be that I'll be forced to pay for it, which is fucking absurd.

Anyway, that's what's holding me back at the minute, is trying to pay shit off. So I'm thinking of throwing up a few YCH auctions. I don't know how much, but enough to get me out of here at last.

Would people be okay with that?

I still have outstanding commissions and taking on a YCH auction at this time would probably not be a good look at first glance. But ironically, if I can get enough money to pay off my debts and get out of retail, I'd actually be able to get to those sooner as I'd be working on my art full time again.

I'm in such an awful position honestly. I'm desperate to get out of this.
