Here's what the Skrulf has to say!
Hi everyone, I would like to start off by saying that so far as commissions go, I have not forgotten any of you, but I have not worked on commissions for some time. I still think about it, quite frequently, its just not worked out quite as well as I had planned everything prior to these commissions, and Ill explain why.
So my last update, which I see now was painfully long ago mentioned me getting trained in new areas for my job at the theater, which was fun and great, but conversely led to more time with me working at the theater because not only was I one of 3 available openers on our roster of 50 employees for during the week, but after being trained I was now one of the 4 projectionists, who was available at all for more than a couple days during the week, and more than that, one of the few projectionists, who also could open at the theater. If someone was sick, normal opener, or projectionist, I was on the list to be called. That said, I didnt realize how much time I was going to be spending at the theater, and when I would get home, Id usually eat, watch an episode of supernatural or something and go on to sleep to repeat for the next day. On most of my days off I would plan to hang out with a friend I had not seen in a while or catch up on chores/errands from the week previous. Then my ongoing job search finally hit a nugget of possibility, and here I am working as a temp getting 30-40 hours a week for Chase bank, which is awesome, but taxxing. Ill be honest I had absolutely no idea how much went on behind the scenes of a bank. Like...none. I thought there were tellers, maybe a couple people who worked in the back making sure stuff balanced out...
Working at Chase Ive been trained in like 3 or 4 areas of at least 20. Since I went through a temp agency as well, my schedule has been a bit hectic, fluctuating week to week, and double timing it at the bank and the theater was just too much. I was having to continuously get shifts covered or miss shifts because I couldn't accommodate both jobs, but most of the time the temp agency would let me know, AT MOST, a day in advance if they needed me to go in to work, and the theater works a full week ahead, so I had scheduling errors galore.
All that to say, its been a very stressful couple days, and I have finally dropped the theater from my job list. Ill miss it and the people, but I just couldnt do it anymore and while starting up this new job in a considerably faster paced environment than I was at before has been stressful to say the least, Im glad its finally more manageable, and hopefully in the next couple weeks I can really settle into a rhythm and can start doing art again. I know its been a while, and I really am sorry. I feel like Ive dropped the ball again, and that frustrates me, after all the work I did trying to find people to give me a chance and believe in me, and then you guys go out of your way to invest in me, and then I seemingly drop off the face of the planet. Again, that was not my intention, and Im sorry, I havent forgotten you, and if you have paid and would like a refund, feel free to note me I completely understand. Otherwise once the dust settles, hopefully soon, and I have adjusted well and can start focusing on my hobbies, like music and art again, Ill get those commissions out to you all.
Sorry its been so long since the last update as well, I try to be very transparent for you and keep an open link of communication, but Ill be honest, for a while I forgot furaffinity existed with so much going on all the time lol.
Anyways peace out, Im actually about to head to work right now, 1:30-10:30, and Ive been procrastinating on putting up this journal, but I wanted to get it done before I left today. Hope you all have a great day, if you have questions comments or concerns, Ill be checking off and on and will respond as soon as possible.
Love you all, be well and safe!
