Blaze it! There, now that’s out of the way…
Bit of a late post today, the day job has basically turned into an assembly line; I’m going to be stuck on the current job all day tomorrow, and it will have to continue into the weekend to be ready by Monday. However, I don’t get paid overtime, so I’m not going anywhere near the office on Saturday or Sunday; so-called “company loyalty” isn’t going to pay for my lunch off the food carts at ComicCon next week, so if they want me in there, they’ll have to show me something a little more substantial.
Speaking of ComicCon, with only a week left to go, it’s a bit of a madhouse around the home as well, though not really for me. My lovely fiance is in crunch mode for getting her cosplays done, on top of juggling her online studies, her part-time job, and the stock for The Dragon Wagon table; I help out where I can, but I can only do so much. My best bet is to just be here for emotional support, and I’ve been told I’m very reliable in that regard; if there’s any job where “company loyalty” matters, it’s being a partner in life to someone you love.
Also, after ComicCon is over, it’s going to be back on the grindstone for comics on this site again. I’m looking forward to getting back to the Showcase; I’ve been doodling a lot in my free moments, so I think I’m a little artistically deprived at this point. I’ll be aiming for the regular three Showcase pages per week, along with Magic Beans on Tuesdays once more, though don’t be surprised if updates become sporadic at any point; “company loyalty” means a lot to me when it comes to my own work, but it’s a lot to fit into my timetable these days. Hopefully, a major disruption in uploads will be due to moving house rather than any kind of burnout, though still nothing confirmed on that front.
With regards to moving, Sparrow is still quite comfy here in our little space. Our landlord hasn’t brought him up in conversation at all in the past month, so he seems to be okay with Sparrow still being around. We’re not bringing up the subjects of his vaccinations or foster homes, so we’ll cross that bridge only if we absolutely have to; our loyalty to having Sparrow’s company – okay, that’s stretching the term a little bit, but long story short, we don’t want to give him up, and we’re not planning on doing so. We may need someone to watch him over the ComicCon weekend, since we’re going to be out for most of the time, but we’ll make something work.
So after all that, I can say that my loyalties lie with those that grant me good company.
I have no idea where I was going with all that, I’m going to get an early night.
Ciao for now.
