I just stay home but I know a lot of people aren't able to do that xP

I'm so happy I'm able to draw on my laptop now though, it makes it so much nicer than having to sit in our warm office in an uncomfortable chair/desk height
And to no longer have to draw with a mouse xD I don't have a fancy tablet or stylus or anything, but my laptop is touchscreen

I wish I could stay at home all the time. I keep daydreaming about winning a lottery and never having to work ever again and can thus stay at home as much as I want to.

Ugh, office chairs suck. Only the boss(es?) get more comfortable chairs.

There's also the significant decrease of time it takes me to draw so that also helps not be sitting for a long time cuz I get so into it I forget to move xP art would usually take me like 5 hours for one piece due to all the redrawing of lines because of the mouse. Omg and I had no idea about clipping layers and that saves me SO much time

Where do you work now nisty?

Yeah, I often forget how long I've been in the chair just drawing/doing stuff until my eyes start to burn.

Clipping layers?


Working for a marine survey company now as a secretary We do marine surveying jobs for companies to make sure their cargo/shipping conditions are okay and stuff. I think the boss also does other surveying jobs like if a ship crashes into another ship he surveys the damage...lots of report-writing and picture-taking involved.

Same im like "oh yeah i was gonna go to bed -3 hours later-"

Yeah it's so cool! So if you clip a new layer it sticks it to the one below it, so when you draw on the "clipped" layer, it'll only show up on the space of the one its stuck to. So for art, do the flat color, then you can clip all the shading/highlights and you don't have to go thru after and erase any color that goes over the lines :D

I'm just picturing your boss sitting in an office with two toy boats smashing them together repeatedly xD

Ugh yes! That always happen to me! I'd be thinking, 'just a few more moments and I'll be off to bed' and by the time I check the time an hour or more will have passed!

Ohhh that! Yeah, that's definitely handy!

lmao Now I'm picturing the boss doing that and it just so weird to imagine him doing that
The upside is that if there're no ships that needs discharging/preloading/etc then we're pretty much free to do whatever we like since the boss and the manager aren't around to make sure we're working. I've been catching up on a ton of manga/manhwa/fanfiction these days.

That's perfect! You get to have a job, get some moneyz, get people off your back about not having a job, feel accomplished for having a job, and you still get to be online with us! xD

Yeah, it's been pretty good so far I'm just nervous that after a while the manager'll start dumping more stuff for me to do and I won't be able to handle it. (it's something I'm always stressed about) Oh well. I'll wait until it happens and try to then worry about it.

Annnnd that's why you fake the flu XD

lol I have to wait until I'm six months in before I get three days off, if I take days off without getting any holidays saved then it'll come out of my paycheck Our boss/manager are very stingy when it comes to their workers' benefits.

Eckh. I'm surprised you're allowed days off at all XP

I'm glad we have days off! I'm already going a bit stir crazy in the office sometimes...at least it's a good place to catch up on some sleep when we're not busy.

Pffft!
Ugh...my sleeping patterns are utter trash lately. And prerelease is not going to make it better.....

It took me a while to get my sleeping patterns down to something more normal...I used to head to bed anywhere between 1am - 6am. Now I've managed to get it down to around 10pm - 11pm every night so I would be able to get up in time for work the next morning.

Prerelease of what?

War of the Spark Prerelease. Magic: the Gathering thing.

And I didn't get to sleep till almost six am last night, weeeh

Ohh. Haven't played MtG in ages.

Oof, that sounds terrible! Had trouble sleeping?

Yep. Same with the night before last...going to head to bed before long here so hopefully I'll have a decent sleep ^^;

As for Prerelease, I ended up a bit famous X'D. I pulled both the new Liliana and Bolas cards. Sadly, as I am well aware that I'm not a great player, I never got to use either in a match T_T

I hope you'll have a decent sleep too! It sucks when one is sleep-deprived.

I have no idea what those two are It's been over a decade since I last played. I'm not a very good player either, I often lose to my brother whenever we played.

You're contribution item quest shrinketh a bit

It has! I'm really happy that I've been making progress, with my thanks to everyone who's helped

Did you stop putting your avatars in your runway?

I've still been adding to it, but only the ones I really like so it's slow-going.

ooohhhh And I have been so lazy with saving favorite avatars that I see because of that runway. I'm using the new IMGUR up and I can't get the hang of it.

I've been thinking about transferring to Imgur too, but haven't really felt the energy to do so because of the sheer amount of images I have that I want to upload.

I much prefer imgur haha

I still have stuff on my photobucket but imgur is all i use now. Plus the links are SO much shorter so it's ideal for coding
