Priorities, schmiorities...

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 6:53 PM
So many ideas, so little time.

Some of us comic bookers are lucky enough to land day jobs that allow us to work on or at least fiddle with our comic book projects while getting paid to do something else. I have been lucky enough, for the last three years, to have one such job. There were good days and bad, but a whole helluva lot of MAM was conceived and constructed while on the clock.

Sadly I'll soon be joining the ranks of the many unemployed folks out there due to job elimination. They don't even call it "laying off" anymore....essentially it'll be cheaper for them to farm out the work we do, to states that pay less and offshore folks. My last day is Friday the 13th, go fig.


I'm not saying this to start a pity party, I just want folks to take this into consideration in terms of production on my projects and web updates, etc. If I do manage to land something else (which currently isn't looking promising) then who knows if it'll be a job that will allow the level of "free time" that I've been enjoying, that's been integral in getting my comic stuff done. I'm hoping to not end up a shiftless layabout...in which case you'd be seeing a TON of updates, I'm guessing.

Well, onward and upward.

Ah man that sucks! Sorry to hear it. It so bad out there. I interviewed for a job this past week but didn't get it. Jobs are just getting harder and harder to find.

Sorry to hear this, Matt. Hopefully something will turn up for you sooner than later.

I was joking (in a non-joking way) with my wife that everything that I'm qualified for is offering half what I'm making now and everything that I'd be interested in trying out is requiring 5 years experience and some fancy pants degree in this that or the other.

Best of luck to yah Matt.

I'm fortunate to be employed right now, but it takes away nearly all my free time I'd put to drawing.

Looking forward to eventually working with yah though. And again, best of luck.
