At the beginning of July, I got laid off and replaced with a seasonal temp. I found another, better, job, with bigger, scarier, numbers within the month. While I like the new place much better, my daily commute has increased from roughly 30 minutes to about three hours, two of which are spent sitting on the train. I now have very little time to do anything during the week. I do all of the cooking and wash dishes on one day during the weekend. Breakfast is eaten at the station while waiting for the train. Dinner is brought with me to work, then heated up at the office and eaten while walking to the station. The Beast gets ridden once a week at best and is misbehaving accordingly.

As far as existing commissions, this means very little, except that I will delivering at the stated deadlines, instead of a few weeks early, like I usually do.


1) Seeking recommendations for a mobile tablet setup that I can use to work while on the train.

2) I went to the store for drugs and came home with a sticker machine. I may be opening commuter commissions for tiny stickers, to be completed on the train.

3) In light of recent life events, I may be moving to an area that will dramatically reduce my commute. However, this means I will be moving, in Colorado, in winter. If I do not move, I will have to sell that Beast.

4) It is currently Extension Season at Firstjob, which means I am working weekends. I may not be available until after October 18.

5) I've prepared the at-con things for upload, so you should continue to see new art trickling in.

6) Queue has been moved back to profile, where it's more visible.
