Life updates and T Shirts
11 years ago
It's been.. a hectic start to the new year. Had a couple of job related emails and some interviews and it's been a whirlwind of stuff, so much so that I'm feeling kinda disoriented from everything that's been happening. Specifically it was an interview for a part time teaching position and for a job at a toy company. I have mixed feelings about EVERYTHING.
The interview for the toy company was just yesterday and uh... I think it went ok. Stable income is good and nice and useful but part of my head worries about being able to go to conventions and stuff. Some may feel this is a trivial thing to worry about but when you're growing your business, you kinda need to stay active lest your audience starts to forget about you. I'm not sure how I will juggle full time work alongside running my own stuff; this is vastly differently from just doing commissions on the side and can be far more time consuming. I try to keep a positive outlook towards full time work gigs but it can be hard, considering my track history. On that note, I'm tired of being guilted into working OT. It's an annoyingly Asian thing, the whole oh we mustn't leave the office while the boss is still in mindset is a terrible thing but people do it because they don't want to uh.. lose face.
On a better and much more uplifting note, T Shirts are happening! They will launch at my bigcartel store on the 6th of Feburary, when I'm back from a short trip out to the Philippines so keep an eye out for those. I'll make another journal announcement when I get back anyway. If there's a design that you want on a shirt but it's not in my store, let me know!
