...was a train. And it ran me over. But somehow, I survived, and here I am, still going through the tunnel.
Had an interview today, have another one tomorrow. I'd be happy with either job, to be honest, although the one I interviewed for today would pay significantly more. I've also got a phone interview with someone this week about possibly doing some art work (oil painting) for some luxury brand website whose clients are mostly really really rich men. I submitted a few samples of my work- they specified that they wanted someone who could paint in the style of the old masters, so I selected my best classical type pieces and crossed my fingers. Apparently, they think I'm good enough to consider, so there's at least that!
Somehow, without trying, I've managed to lose some weight recently too. About 4 pounds, but fuck it that's better than nothing. I suspect that once I have a job again and I'm doing more than sitting around being disgruntled all day, I'll lose even more.
After 7 fucking years of convincing myself that I couldn't work an on the books job because of my student loan debt, I'm finding it awfully hard to be patient now. The shady, potentially dangerous, and sometimes illegal shit I've had to do to get by is really wearing on me now. I just want to be somewhat normal again, is that too much to ask?
