Since my last post, I have been back to Atlanta to do another week of work with Samaritan's purse. I have also lost those mittens in my second-to-last post. I've moved to Wisconsin. I've started a new job.
I've also drawn some more, but I can't scan things out here yet! Man, it's not like I'm exactly technologically inept. I scored a whole 6% on the Geek Test! I should be able to work the fancy technology here at work.
So, my first week of work consisted of meetings. A lot of them. Also workshops! Like, how to light an interview! and How to use a fancy camera! My schedule was basically hour-to-hour. completely full.
My second week has been quite the empty slate, however. I have watched more animations than I care to admit on vimeo, spent hours drawing on scrap paper, and brainstorming for an epic sea-voyage animation to show how awesome it is to be a missionary! ...that might not get used. Our clients get to pick which idea they like best out of 3. the sea-monster one was my idea. Anyhow, all of this is in the name of creative development!! I can do basically anything I want that's "artistic" and it counts as work! I'm really looking forward to having more tangible projects to work on though, there's only so much brainstorming I can do for a project without overthinking it. And I'm only working on two projects at this point.
Also, my car died. and so did my brother's car. the brakes actually went out on that one, while I was driving on a pretty major road.
Also, I saw a dorney park mug at work today, and had a weird moment where I forgot where I was. Turns out the owner of the mug knows people from PA? but was never there herself. sigh. although I have met a few girls from Philly and Pittsburgh! neither are phillies fans, tho. sigh.
