mild rant and stuff.

Finding inspiration on Google is surprisingly difficult.

For the past two hours i've been browsing Google's 'dark art' for a halloween piece.
The typical stuff, like vampires, etc.

Lets put it this way, googles essentially useless for a serious search, and it is aggrivating as hell.
Anyone know of good art references for this topic? Or keywords to use?

Cuz yeah, it's not workign for me.

Also, so far no luck in getting a job. I"m supposed to get a call from Paradise Pets today (Monday) or tomorrow (tuesday) but so far nothing.

I really despise this stage of job hunting. the lunging for the phone only to find that it's an automated voice representing a sale of some sort.

I really don't know what else to do, my resume's as good as it's gonna get, but it doesn't seem good enough. i've applied at least 5 times to Paradise Pets who just tell me "just keep nagging us! ^_^" over the past year and a half or so. Last time i applied i actually got a decent response "we'll be callign around for interviews Monday or Tuesday, we'll give you a call".

Its frustrating and slightly depressing at the same time.

And by the time I give up on Paradise, all the places that are NOW HIRING! will not be hirign anymore and be filled up. ITS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE.

Maybe I should've stayed at Safeway....

$10 Comissions.

Calling all furry people!

Alright, here's the deal.

I recently quit the job at safeway (reasons of which are sorta explained in my LJ)

And I've been applying around for a new job. (preferably Paradise Pets)


Soo... i've decided to open up cheap comissions.

$10 digital sketch, ink & color. if you want the WIP's, then gimme an email (I only use MSN, but it's easy enough to send something via gmail or whatever)

$5 inked sketch, non colored.

$5 color pencil (Prisma, crayola...) badges.

I don't have a paypal just now, but i should within the next couple months. So send me a cheque, money order, etc to me, in CANADIAN DOLLARS please.

I will provide an address via note if you're interested.

Oh, and i won't give you the picture until i've recieved money. It'll probably be done before then, but i won't be shafted.

bleh

So i finally quit my job.

i worked there from July 25-0ct 6th, so three ish months which isn't bad.
They have a remarkable talent of taking you on a guilt trip though.

Enough people are quitting at Safeway that they're thinking of raising the wage from $9.00 /hourCAN to $11.00/hour CAN.
And also the bitch of our department (bakery) is supposed to be quitting too., although that may only be a rumor. On top of that a couple of the managers of the store came down and said "sorry to hear youre quitting... that's too bad." In that genuine tone that makes you feel like you're an inch tall and also makes you think of saying "Lol, just kidding. I'm not quitting."

So i'll be applying around again after Thanksgiving weekend, and i'll see how things turn out from there.


Thanks for listening,

moving on....

So i've decided to quit Safeway. My first job. A bunch of crap has been going on that'll make me sound whiny if i go into deep details.
To sum it up, i am simply not happy there.

"It's a job, not play time"
I KNOW this. But i also know a lot of people who say  "I love my job, man, it's awesome!" because they have a good time there.

not me.

So i'm handing in my notice tomorrow, and my last shift should be saturday.  And a couple days after (tuesday ish) i'm going to go job hunting again before my earnings go down too much. Mostly sucking up to the managers over at Paradise Pets, cuz that's where i wanted to work in the first place. We'll see how it goes, and i'll be sure to let you know as it happens.

----------

my cousins are coming up this weekend. I wonder how they'll react to my new desk, laptop, computer chair, and printer.  it'll be chaotic either way.

Tarot card results


You are The Star


Hope, expectation, Bright promises.


The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised


The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.


What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

This actually suits me, i think. I love it when tests like this actually work.

New.

Well, I'm new. I've got an FA account where i post all of my art: www.furaffinity.net/user/shiko-squirrel
i'll figure things out eventually.
