Well, didn't get the new day job. I was bummed pretty hard for about an hour. But I instantly had this urge in me. Something said "Do what you love and you know you are good at." So I sat down at the table. I penciled three new Anna pages and another one of my webstrips. I'm partially inking them right now. The art Gods hath blessed me with a gift of instant work flowing out like the Titanic of tomorrow. Its a consolation prize I guess. :)
I swore I had that job in the can. I feel kinda silly now cause I started even saying my goodbyes last night to some co-workers in the thoughts that if I got the job, I wouldn't be back. They wouldn't have likely scheduled me there again, so it seemed natural to go ahead and say goodbye. Even last night I got the vibe that I wasn't going to see the place again. I did my walk through I always do on the last night of a job. Seeing things for the last time. Saying goodbye to a place you spent a lot of time at. Good and bad. It just felt like reality. So getting the call today was honestly kind of a light smack to the chin. For a while anyway. It felt like I just am not gonna (or I don't deserve) to get a "legit" or "clean living" type of day job. It bummed me out. But an hour later, I was over it and my head back in the game. Whereas something like this a couple years ago woulda taken a week or to do get over.
Nah, fuck it. I'm still standing here. I still kick ass at the things I love to do. I'll never get the call saying "No" to that! Can't stop me. Ya can't.
Onward and upward!
