Updates and a Video!
10 years ago
Second page for Nyxis's Day Off is fully funded now and well on it's way to being colored! ^(._.)^ I must go shortly and do battle with my yard...but after that, I'll have some much needed time to make some progress. Also, for those whom are following the project, you'll want to take a look at this awesome video that Nyxis's made which we're hoping will better explain the theme and purpose behind the folio.
Also, just a general life update, things are worse and worse every week where I work. Our schedule [which used to be a full page front and at least half of the back] is now down to just over a half page, because of how many people have left us recently. I'm hoping my GM can jump into hiring some people when he gets back from vacation. We only have two weeks left before "tax free weekend" in VA, which is usually a nightmare even with a full staff. If you're unfamiliar with said weekend...imagine old school Black Friday spread out over 3 days. People stacked on more people, all clawing to get things they perceive to be super cheap. And for families with multiple kids, I understand you need to save whatever you can when buying school supplies. But please think things through... If tax was really THAT much more money tacked onto every purchase, people would be rioting in the streets. You're saving $5 on every $100...and standing in line for an hour with other families and their screaming brats, to do so. Not. Fucking. Worth it.
Long story short, I guess what I'm trying to say is, we're about to plunge headlong into our busiest time of the year [not just that weekend, but the month and a half that follows it] with less people than we've ever had before. So, I just want to make everyone aware now that this will likely result in some super stressful/taxing 50-60 hour work weeks for me. I'll do the best I can to keep working along on everything though! Just be aware of what's going on when I can't be here at my computer. ;(._.);
