So I have not just 1 but 2 awesome jobs
13 years ago
Its been 5 months since my last journal? Holy shit, I need to stop being so quiet...
I've been pretty busy these past few months for both good and bad reasons. Most notable being I've got two awesome new jobs.
First is for the main model shop I work for. They do this super secret awesome project every year that is 6 months of awesome. This will be my 4th year on it and I've got more responsibility than ever, I'll probably be running the casting department and be one of the lead painters. Its pretty chaotic and stressful but also the most fun ever. I get to work with some of the most talented people ever who also happen to be some of my best friends. Its one big happy party of people making awesome shit. I wish I could share what I do on these projects, its some of my best work.
Second job is I got hired part time by the nature center I've volunteered at the past three years. Its extremely rare that they hire and when they do its hard to get in. Despite being busy with my other job I knew I'd be an idiot to let this pass me by so I went for it. Well I ended up being one of the highest scoring people, probably because I've been doing the job free for 3 years, and was hired. I'm still going through the slow county hiring process but I'm pretty much in. I now get paid to work with birds and teach people about them. They're also potentially giving me my own shed to expand the specimen department I run. I'm fucking stoked!
So I'm going to be working weekdays at the model shop and weekends at the nature center. I'm pretty much never going to have a day off, at least for six months until my model shop job ends. Its going to be tough but these are my two favorite things and I'm so lucky to be able to get paid to do what I love. I still really want to get my etsy shop up and sell things, I've got a lot in the works, but I won't be able to do too much mass production until June.
Despite how busy I'm going to be, I'll try and be less quiet on here and post cool projects I'm allowed to share, and maybe pics and stories about the critters I work with.
