Quick Update - Venting
14 years ago
I don't normally like talking about all the crappy crap in my life (due to it being depressing and boring) but, 'cause it's not healthy to keep it bottled inside, I'm gonna get all of this frustration out in one go! (And in point format to boot!)
1. Won't be able to go to What The Fur 2011 'cause I have to help a friend move. To make matters worse, I'm the only one in our group of friends that will be doing it completely for free 'cause his help-me-move-and-I'll-buy-you-pizza proposition would only make me super sick.
2. A couple of my friends (wont name anyone though) have been ignoring me for various reasons and it's starting to get to me...
3. Due to budget reasons, I won't be able to get my new laptop till after AnthroCon 2011. (I could buy it now but, if anything unexpected were to happen, I'd be screwed...)
4. Stomach pains are getting worse and no doctor seems to know what to do...
5. The IT company that I work for doesn't want to straight-up give me time off for AnthroCon 2011. Instead, I have to juggle everyone else's schedule around (via trades & such), work on a bunch of holidays, request one day off and I still might be short one day... I wouldn't worry too much though since I will find a way to make it work but it just bothers me that, despite the fact that I'm one of their last hardworking/competent employees left, they don't want to throw me a bone and give me an extra day off or two...
6. I've been having strong feelings for a few people (again, not givin' names) but I either know that they don't share those feelings or that my chances with them are small to insignificant... In any case, it's really eating me up inside...
7. Due to Flash getting me all uppity, that Showcase animation has been put on a short hiatus. It'll get done soon-ish but I need to not work on it for a while...
8. I think someone (again, no names) is trying to cheat me out of two commissions that I bought from 'em...
I know that most of these issues are fairly standard & everyone has to deal with 'em at one point or another but I really needed to get all this off of my chest. In any case, I'm sorry that I dumped all of that on you guys and it shouldn't be a regular occurrence.
On the plus side, I've been working a lot on that art stuff recently and I should be postin' more of it soon!
('Cause I know all too well how emotionally draining it can be)
I should feel [emotionally] better soon-ish.
I always do!
Also, although I appreciate the advice, I'm not big on... um... "Herbal treatments"...
Don't be like that...
1. You can always plan a convention into a road trip.
2. I never get to hang out with my "IRL friends" due to my crap-tastic work schedule.
3. You have a loving mate and that's a lot more that most of us will ever get.
4. I'm still years away from actually having a life.
5. Everyone has at least one thing that they're good at and, in my case, it's definitively not making art...
2 atleast you have work tho i understand it sux
3 ya tho it isnt always a walk in the park
4
5 you are very good at your art i wish i was half as good as you
i may/may not be going to WTF im unsure if ill have a rideshare and roomshare! as i cant afford the travel fees myself if i did go and if i were to still be able to go id almost do anything to repay the person for a thanks for helping me!
*Sad face*
(Which will give me better chances of getting time off & stuff)
But still...
*Cries*
