What the Hell's happening, Jäger!? [FWA update]
9 years ago
Commission Info coming soon....
Hey everyone!
I wanna say that things have been a rocky three months. I'll put it here in bullet points. It's a long read, so if ya got time, here's what's been happening....
-As of last Monday, I have a new job working with the county water service department. After working five and a half years working at a night shift through the ten agency. I am now working day shift (7am - 4pm) with possible overtime when necessary. There is also an on-call schedule in which from friday through friday, they will telephone me when they need even when i have work week (they'll probably call me an hour after i go to bed). It that means i could be working 100 hrs that week. This is only when my name comes up. I honestly miss my previous job since I enjoyed it, but the company that owns Dynamex is on a hiring freeze for the past four years. It sucks, but I needed a stepping stone; they are, however, will take me back incase something goes wrong with my new job. But until then, I'm sticking around with this and see how it plays out. That said.......
-Furry Cons. So far, since Furry Weekend Atlanta is possible since it's local. Although my previous job only acknowledged that I will be gone for it. But not this one, I'll be asking the boss later today if it's possible to have only that Friday off since I have no problem coming in Thursday evening (will update later). But I will have to leave a little earlier on Sunday due to my new bedtime schedule. Speaking of which, if anyone is going to FWA, if you got a floor space, I would like one. If things go well, I would like Thurs, fris, and sats night. I am very laid back, only thing that matters is a place to sleep and shower. I'll be at artist alley for most of the day. That aside, it will probably be the only furry con I go to this year. Due to my six months probation of this new work, I may have to skip Anthrocon. It breaks my heart I will be missing my friends there, but real life must come first. Unless otherwise, I will return for Anthrocon 2017!
[03/22/16 Update: It's a go for FWA! I'll be arriving late Thurs after my shift! See ya there!]
-My cats. As far as the news is, Spooky is doing alright. He is now a three)legged demon. Reason is that after months of him being on the splint, the bones is just not healing well. We decided to have his leg removed since putting pins and plates in him would hold it, but wont precisely heal the fracture and I fear will cause an infection. It was a two week struggle with him having staples and putting him in a cone, but after that, we got that removed and he's doing great. Already adjusted to having three legs. Also...
We have an addition to, another kitty name Binx. The cat I saved in October. Originally he's suppose to be in a new home, but that has changed. Will post a pic of him later with much re details.
-Personal stuff on the other hand, January and February has not been nice to me. I have since been having anxiety attacks and nightmares. Not to mention some family issues usually due to mum. Reasons is that she sees me wanting to art just as personal hobbies and believes doing it as a career is pointless. Same case with my sisters who wanted to do a modeling career in which they are doing fantastic. Can't no longer say with my brother snce he's now working for video fame development. I probably need to stick with dad for a while since he supports our choices. Or better yet, I probably need to get out of GA for good, I have thoughts of moving up north. I was thinking either Maryland or Vermont, I simply wanted to start fresh again. Maybe that could help me. Until then, this current work should help me get to that goal. For that, I really need to get back in the groove of drawing again.
-Art. Just so you know, I know I got commissions I owe. For those who are coming to FWA, you can pick them up (I know who). So far, ever since I got win10 on this PC, it was troubling having to update everything to recognize it.... Except for my scanner. Despite being connected, it doesn't recognize it. I cannot find any leads on updating it, only found more questions than answers (thanks o-google). Also, I really hope this year's FWA will help perk up my art again...
Welp, that's about it for me. Sorry for the typos since I and typing through phone while we wait for approval to dig a hole here to work on the water pipes and get dirty.

Me and the wife may be able to offer room space, I'll ask her about it tonight.
Glad your kitty is doing alright as well as the newest addition to your cat pack.
See you at FWA.
