Yes, dear readers, once again I am underemployed right before the holiday season. Damn, this seems to happen every year. *sigh* Last Thursday, at the screenprinter, most of the remaining staff, myself included, was given cash and told it was their last day. The handful of remaining staff will finish up the pending jobs and then the place is closing its doors. I was a little sad about it, but amazingly enough, I feel a strong surge of hope. It's hard to describe, but I have a feeling that this was meant to be and bigger, better things are in store. Normally I would be ridden with anxiety and fearing for my future, but things will work out. They always do one way or another. So, in addition to putting resumes out and seeing the placement lady at my old school, this next week I plan on taking care of me--cleaning my house, exercising, crafting, etc. All the stuff that I've put on hold because I've been working too darned much. I need to keep making sure I get up early and get the dough done before everybody else gets in. This week I have spent so much time talking to other employees that I haven't talked to in months because they need to talk about the manager's suicide and stuff. While I'm glad that I can help in listening, I know my time could be better spent elsewhere, y'know?
I did manage to get a couple of my designs printed before I had to vacate the premises (lol). The two production guys that were left even stayed late to finish them for me. They even let me make them for free. Normally, as an employee, I would've had to buy the shirts and pay a reduced amount for the ink used. I guess they felt bad about having to let us go and just let me have the shirts. Anyway, I made myself a Domestic Geek baseball swash design and Team [Housewares] shirts for Marcus. I'll see if I can get Marcus and Mike to pose in their shirts this evening while they're gaming and post a pic. I'm really happy with how they turned out except for the color of the shirt. I was pretty much limited to what we had left in the storeroom, which wasn't much. The only color that had all sizes we needed and was still military-looking was a green color. I wanted them on tan. Oh, well. I had them print one tan one, though, to see how it would turn out. I also took my films, so one day we can get more done if Marcus needs them. I wish I had been around long enough to finish the kokopelli design I was working on. It will be done one day, though, and even if I have to pay, I'll get it printed.
