Time Is Too Uncooperative

In fact, it's a downright bugger.

But the good news is, I got started tonight on next week's strips. So hopefully I can get them done (or mostly done) this weekend, giving me some breathing room next week to work on Tough Breaks.

This poor book ... it really is having a difficult birth. :( Much more so than the other books have so far.

I've got to get it done, tho ... because Carpe Diem isn't going to wait! Working for somebody else really forces you to keep to a schedule, which is occasionally just the kind of iron fist I need. Of course, that was what I hated about writing for the gaming industry: "Write 5,000 words for Mage and have it to us by Tuesday. You'll get $60." On Friday. 0.o I was proud of my ability to come through in a clutch -- but I got sick of having to keep coming through in a clutch, particularly when it wasn't my "day job" so to speak.

The bad news is, I didn't get as far as I wanted on the strips because lythandra maliciously played something very interesting on the DVD player. Meanie! ;P Here I was, happily slaving away, and she puts in a new "Making of Star Wars" video with footage of Kurt Russell auditioning for the part of Han Solo.

Like I'm supposed to resist that???

Harumph. And now it's after 11:00 and I need to go to bed and everything!

Life is terribly unfair!

I can understand all too well what you mean here. This week has been or should I say has become packed with work. I'm suppose to do a presentation at a local school today on 17th history and I haven't even pulled my supplies out of storages. Example of why is easy. Wednesday 7 pm meeting didn't get started until 7:45 and then degenerated into comings and goings of folks getting in form bad roads. Last night a meeting that should have taken an hours ran two and a half. Mail is piling up and reports are falling behind.

Yup, work can sure bite into your time. I understand.

I'm a chef .. wait no scrach that - I'm a microwave technician, I was a chef :P and now I'm trying to get myself on the road to being an illustrator. It's not working I need to do an A-level course in art (the only one I can do) but unfortuantly my college doesn't do it.

P.S - I do between 45 and 50 hours of work within 5 days.

The most important lesson I saw Fr. Templeton teach our kids last semester:

"Leben ist unfär!"

Have the best
