Happy new years everyone, hope the last treated you well and the new one treats you better(I know I'm hoping for a better one than 2015). I know I've been entirely silent for almost the past two months and sorry about that, probably should have at least posted a journal about why. Anyway, got a job in seasonal retail, which promptly ate me alive, backstock in a store where most of the people in backstock had quit just before I applied and I have experience in the position. You can imagine the amount of work and just how much there was. Needless to say any time not at work was spent trying to relax and rest, hence my brief disappearance. On the plus side, it's now after season and while they're keeping me on, my hours will be less intense, as will be the work itself. So I'll be working on the couple commissions I still owe(Thank you so much to the clients who have been understanding and patient about their long waits), new stuff and getting back into the swing of things.

New years resolutions!
1) manage commissions better.

I keep taking too many all at once and then stressing about how many I have, and that only hurts my ability to produce quality work. So I'm going to be working on saying 'no' or 'I'll put you in the queue' basically XD. I also need to work on pricing a bit, but how exactly remains to be seen.

2) be more talkative!

I tend to be way too quiet and private in general on here, so need to work on that. I'm going to try and respond to new comments and notes every day and go back through my gallery to respond to all the comments in one piece once a day. Probably try and write a journal every week to keep the world updated on my existence and the status of commissions and projects.

3) be a better boyfriend

I dunno, a vague one, but I really need to get better about cleaning up around the apartment and giving my girlfriend more attention and opening up and such.

Anyway, I'm off to eat breakfast, then off to start the new year proper ^.^ see you all around!
