I had an idea what I wanted to talk about this morning but now it seems to have slipped my mind.
Why does work seem to drain everything out of you? I mean I'm sure everyone, even if they like their job, has to have that same feeling. I mean everyday I wake up I don't want to be at work. When I am at work I don't want to be here (because my job could be done by a machine just as easily as by me... shhhhhh don't tell my employers). I think my job has a lot of the same aspects as my retail jobs as it seems to be menial in some aspects. At least with this I can surf the web (also shhhhhh don't tell my employers) but at the same time I would rather have some mobility about myself. At least in retail I felt like I was getting some exercise. Don't get me wrong though I do like my job but wouldn't go so far as saying I love it. It's definitely better than retail but I guess I want to be challenged creatively and my current job doesn't really have that opportunity.
So since I want to be challenged Creatively I have finally cleaned up my old computer desk (since I never use the desktop anymore) and have set up my Serger there. Now just need to look over the book to see how the thing works and do some test runs to see what I can make up. I already have a lil bit of fabric and a couple of patterns now just have to put them to use. Maybe should call my mom too. Should see if she could ship my material container from SC since she has been holding it for me. That and she could help with a few things on how to use patterns and how to sew in general.
Other creative ideas; I still want to do a comic book. Because of FA I do seem to know a lot more artists (but don't really talk to them that much which probably should) and I have always been looking for an artist for a few of my comic book ideas here and there. The problem is the one I like the best and would want done is non furry. I do have a furry comic idea but it seems very generic story type (although have developed the bad guy a lot more) where it's heroes fight bad guys. That type of story is typically good for comics but I always like to change the norm with things like that. In a sense my favorite idea would be an ongoing detective series that the major badguy is revealed in the last comic of a 12 month run (something that came about because of "Batman: The Long Halloween"). In fact I have the first season down pact idea wise just need to get the personal stories interwoven and actually write the stories up. I think I will post that on my FA account as an idea or something.
Weekend was good. Won't go into big details but had friends over from Wisc. It was cool. The guys were great to hang out with and was a really good weekend. Just one thing that we figured out though; when you have a bar night that lasts until 3:30am do not have a meeting the next day at 2pm. The weather this weekend though was amazing, in good and bad ways. It's nice to have decent weather but we're not really supposed to have "decent" weather this time of year. It's supposed to be cold, frigid, snowy and blah so you can appreciate the nice weather when you get it. Right now it's probably about 60 outside; In January; In Chicago; that's just not right.
Anyway that's all for right now. Time to get back to work.
