General OOC Chat

Ha ha, yeah; what is it about freelance workers, especially artists, that makes people think they DON'T need to eat or pay rent like the rest of us? Best of luck, buddy. If it's what you love, though...

I'm at work now. Workload is kind of low but at least I'm done with the part where people yell at me. I mean, clearly it's low, if I'm lurking here.

Aw man, that sounds rough! People can be such jerkwads, and it's usually to other people who have no control over the situation. It's not your fault they haven't payed!

And sunny, i feel your pain, I'm sick, too!

This forum is so cute, and full of adorable people and characters I've noticed that there are a lot of really good artists, too! Unfortunately, I'm not one of them, but it's awesome to see everyone drawn so well!

GRAPHIC DESIGN IS ALSO A THING I WANT TO DO. With that kind of field, you just have to make sure that pay is agreed upon and something everyone understands is going to happen. Potentially paying half first. I've heard of a bunch of ways to go about it.

Ah, telling people prices is really scary. I work at a print shop and telling people how much things are going to cost can get tense sometimes. Sometimes I'm able to explain why things cost so much or why they should invest in certain kind of printing for their business, but a lot of the time they just want less or want a different kind of printing. I completely sympathize.

I'm waiting around before I have to go to work actually.

Also I'm going to make a Chatbox real quick for quicker conversations because I'm really interested in talking to all of you wink wonk

Ah oh no I am sorry to hear that people's days haven't been going great. I was like WAY TOO EXCITED about the forum opening and stayed up until four posting and then drawing Natly. But I just got up so I got a lot of rest!

Ahhhhhh everyone's characters are so cute and I want TO RP WITH EVERYONE~! * V *

I want to post but training has left me as exhausted as I predicted. Like wow spending six hours outdoors in 90+ degrees weather can really take the energy out of a person.

@gabby, yikes! I hope you're drinking lots of water! What are you training for in those conditions, camp counseling?

@claire, you're a conrat? I just got back from Phoenix Comicon! It was actually my first con ever and I got to meet ~~NICHELLE NICHOLS~~ which was pretty magical. Also Andrew Hussie for you Homestuck fans; I picked up the SBaHJ book and had him sign it, best $44 ever spent, it's hilarious and full of Dave's rambling author's notes. But ~~NICHELLE NICHOLS~~!! (<--- giant Trekkie, you have been warned.) The GF and I also cosplayed as Agents Scully and Mulder and had a fun X-Files photo shoot, so overall I'd say, A+ first con experience.

@gabby: Sounds pretty fun, though! The gym I work at has a summer camp going on right now but since I do office work I'm in the back for most of it. Camp counselor sounds like a fun job, though! (And thanks, though we actually already did our cosplay! I'll see if I can get the pictures from my friend.)

@ari: Camp Combe! It's really nice and a great environment, but the one you worked at seems to have a lot more programs than ours does. I'm not a specialist of any sort, though; I'm just a JC.

@alana: It is fun! Most of the kids aren't too much trouble, and there are different programs (e.g. soccer, tech, theater arts) for people with different skills that a lot of people like. There's a lot of variations, which is great! (I know, I was just complimenting your good taste in characters!)
