So it came to pass, the Age of Paintwork drew to a close in the summer of 2017. No longer would he be slathered with architectural coatings on a daily basis, instead heading into the unknown on a new adventure with no set destination or aim but at least he was freed from the monotony and tedium of the Paint. Sights set on a new horizon, a warm wind blowing at his back, he sets off down a new path with a grin on his face and a spring in his step.
In case it wasn't clear: I've officially handed in a letter of resignation (Finally, after all the complaining I've done), and at this point have little to know idea what I'm gonna do! Exciting stuff, I look forward to finding new things to learn and do. Still 3 weeks left though, so I'm not jumping out the window quite yet. As such, welcome to another "Sunday Funday" post too. I know it's been a few months, but this is the busy time of year, except this weekend apparently. WEEEEEEE.
So yeah, fun exciting new things ams happenings in my lifes, even if I don't know what they are yet. I have some tentative plans, but I haven't hashed out any of the details yet, and I've got enough moola put away that I can just take some time off for a bit and be totally fine, as such we'll just go for it and see what happens!
Aaaaaaand suddenly I can't think of anything to ramble about. Great. Fantastic. Just what I want when I have this app open and am typing a new post due to boredom. I blame this flippin' cold that at this point I've had for two weeks and people say it can last potentially months. *grumblegrumble* At this point I'm like a little extra mucus-y and have a cough but that's pretty much it, so hopefully it goes away soon. That said, a cold that's good at its job will keep you a little sick for a long time in order to spread itself as much as possible... so I guess it's doing its job well? Congratulations cold on being super annoying.
Alright, something that's actually intersting...uh...Oh, I think I've got most of my "artistic style" hashed out, which I don't have any examples of but I've made good progres on most aspects of being able to draw humanoid type peoples, I still need to practice more (which is a big one on my list of things I'll be doing when "on break") but I think I've figured out at least a starting point for the more complicated aspects of it, so practice practice and hopefully I'll have something that I actually like the whole of instead of just indivicual parts, maybe even like enough to start putting myself out there and drawing for other people, for funsies.
...great, now I'm having that "I have too much potential" minor mental struggle again. You know the one, with the "I could do pretty much anything" and the "I kinda want to do everything" with a side of "but what do I actually want to do?" in there. That one that comes up a lot and I don't really do anything about it because I don't know what to do about it? Yeah, that one. I'm not sure I'll ever be rid of it, but I try not to worry about it too much and just kinda go with the flow, I find things work out better that way for me.
All that aside, I may end up doing a bit of traveling in my off time, I haven't really done much traveling in general, and I probably wouldn't go too far, but I think getting out of town for a bit would do me some good, maybe hang out on the Island for a bit, visit some ocean and beaches... Mmm, that actually sounds really appealing, I should look into that. I may or may not have always had a dream of a little cottage in the forest on the Island (preferably near the ocean, but dreams do what dreams will), maybe I should attempt to pursue that...Hmmmmmmmm...
I guess I should probably change the sales thingies now, or at least take the old ones down as today's the last day for this silly little sale, I do still have like two hours left here before I'm done. Time to procrastinate until I forget to do things again! Wee!
--------------------
Procrastination turned into actually doing my job, so that's not too shabby and helps kill time reasonably well, helping people with paint and matching things and stuff. One of them was a guy who just went through a breakup and apparently woke up and said "I'm gonna paint this place today" so we got him all sorted out and that's what he's doing today, which was fun to help sort through. And now I'm back to this, so back to slowness, as expected on Sundays.
Mmm, I should do a top 10 list of my least favorite things to colour match... I've already got it started in my head, so it should be easy enough to do. I'll probably finalize it in three weeks time when I'm actually leaving and will post it on a message board in the store the night that I leave for kicks, checking to see if they noticed the next day when I drop off my key... and if not then pointing it out to them and being all "use this as a guideline for hating things" for the next to step up as the "colour match person" (which is basically what my role ended up being).
Right, job thing, I should go do that now, so I guess I'll sign off.
Cheers!
