What is Happening?

[toosuto]

Let's see. I finished up illustration work. The fact that I don't have a new contract for the work I've nearly finished makes me a little grumpy, thankfully I know I will get paid and the rate should be at least closer to a real rate than before, if not actually a real rate. I did some commercial work yesterday that went relatively smoothly. Shot a model for a salon ad, it was good times. Good things about the shoot are the lack of 50% discount on my labor (yay) and the fact that they are pretty happy with what I handed over. I wish my soft box hadn't self-destructed as I was putting it together but it should be more than fixable and really: what should I expect from knock-off products from China. As long as the lights hold out I'll be happy. I have a meeting next week to go over the future of this endeavor.

I got a new optical prescription today and I am looking forward to seeing properly by next week, plus: new glasses! My cousin's stag night is on Saturday, the wedding next Saturday and then on Sunday we are on our way to Denver/Utah.

Other random things: Rona still misses: Othello, Great-Grandpa Jim and Aberdeen. She has also declared she is moving to London so she can be the big sister for Pascale. Also she finished her Pike level swimming classes and has been recommended to take eal [sic] next: go Rona!

I'm hoping to have enough money saved to move out there by winter... I do need to find a good job though. If you hear anything about that manager position, let me know, okay?

Miss you lots, come over here the weekend of the 18th for TrampieCon (we're doing a mini-con for my birthday!)

[thedragonweaver.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's my reaction too.

oh man, I want to come to TrampieCon, but it is the same day as FamilyDinnerinNoWhereUtahCon.

As to the other, I can at least put you in contact with my Starbucks connection. I keep coming up short finding stuff, but you've got a place to stay and Eberron Campaign when you get here. Oh, the last time I was at Fresh Abundance the flaky lady mentioned remembering your application and that you would have been her top choice if you could have made it here for an interview what the hell is wrong with people? I mean we have these great things called phones if absolutely have to talk to someone, and they work great! Been thinking about you a lot recently. I also have come up with nothing new on the podcasting front (was talkshoe something like what you were looking for?)

[hallandoatbran.livejournal.com]

Talkshoe is EXACTLY what I was thinking of! Thanks!

SHE SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME!!! stupid people who can't interview over the phone...

Well she also decided that she didn't really have the money to hire anyone, let's just consider the whole thing a bullet dodged.

[hallandoatbran.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Well, let me know about the Starbucks thing.. I know they just announced closings of 600 or so stores...

I've got a decent job here for at least the next year if I want it... if I know I'm leaving, it'll be easier to wait it out.

Well, Starbucks connection is back from out of town finally, so I will start at least asking about it. Stoopid Starbucks, it is supposed to be a profit machine.
