Spring Motivation

Posted by Sadie the Receptionist
Labels: ,

Internet, oh internet. Throw me a bone.


You would think in this technological age it would be super easy to find work. I mean, this town isn't coughing up anything for me yet. It's a funny place, it seems busy and ripe with opportunity, but then it still has that small town 'I'll hire you if I know you' thing to it. I keep turning to the online world to search for something, anything really, that I can call 'my new job' but so far so fail.

The good thing is that it is Spring, or so the fat little Robin perched in the tree this morning told me. The birds are cheering me on outside the window... probably just begging for food, but food costs money, so in a way it's like cheering me on right?

My nocturnal nature is hard too... perfect for working from home, but horrid for pretty much everything else. It's hard when you are nocturnal, all of your senses and ease of thought come in the wee hours of the night when silence allows you to gather yourself and get inspired. It's like a drug, super hard to kick and very very addictive. It's hard to have much of a 'life' when you are a later nighter though, unless you find other people made from the same mold. Funny thing is, we nocturnites don't know who is a fellow nocturnite because we keep to ourselves and are pretty much solo. Maybe I should start a group and see who all is out there. We can start a revolution and reverse the natural order of the world! YEAH!

I keep staying up longer than I want in hopes to sleep REALLY weird for a couple of days and then be tired enough to go to bed at a decent time on day three. It worked before I got that damn swine flu, and that blew it all to Hell really fast. Now it's back to this nocturnal stuff again. I guess I'll try that three day night cleanse soon. I just tend to think like a 'normal' person when I sleep normal and that, guys, is really harmful to the creativity!!

Decisions, decisions. Someone just give me a job already so I'm forced to sleep normal!! That always works!

Anyways, off to sleep for a couple of hours and set twenty alarm clocks so I can get up around noon. Yep, two hours sleep for me woooo! Maybe I'll drop dead (SEE: sleep really deeply) tonight at a decent hour.

Wish me luck!

Alive Again

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkkk. Feelin good today. Still a bit stuffy but hey, I can handle that! It's a heck of a lot better than a few days ago when I was making the activities of a Sloth look like a kid at playland compared to how slow I was moving.


I managed to make a few graphics for my friend Teena/new boss yesterday. They look pretty sexy, not going to lie. Today, once I tackle cleaning my house, I am going to stalk for work online and send off a few more resumes.

Do you guys want to know what happened yesterday that was, oh, shall we say, SO VERY MURPHY?! My boyfriend's car blew a fuel pump, but we were not sure what it was so we tried to jump it with my car... in the process, something in my engine went BOOM and my car is dead as well. Two cars one day, almost like two birds with one stone? Or shall we say two birds with one tow? Either way, Murphy's Law was hard at work in my world. Good game Murphy, you have foiled me again!

The above story is why the resume pumping out action is commencing now, post sickness. I need money guys! My life is one big Murphy party over here!

Oh, but it is my mom's birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I hope Murphy doesn't pay you a visit today too!!

Roots put up a new video from their photo shoot. My boyfriend took the day off work from both his jobs to film that all day, so I just want to thank him for doing that. Maybe when we have a bit of cash and Murphy has decided to move on to greener pastures, I can get him a camera as a gift and he can start filming short films like he's always wanted to do. Too bad he doesn't have one now, the whole Murphy thing would be good footage! A Calamity of Me, is what we could call it, and it could be dedicated to my life post having a job. I do actually find hilarity in chaos. If you look at things at the right angle, pardon my french, but shit gets funny.

Anyways, off to clean this house. If anyone wants to come help me I would gladly accept, and in return, bake you delicious cookies and make you a fresh pot of hot coffee!

Cheers folks, happy HUMP DAY! (Hi Sam!)

What Came First, the Job or the Money?

It's amazing when you fall from your throne how most people scurry away from you like rats in a sewer, but the odd faithful companion remains by your side to help you rebuild.


I have been slowly seeing who my friends are, and even though there is always bitterness in the wake of something like falling from said throne, a slow and steady faith and hope rises from your inner ashes and you start to feel a new beginning. Through those few friends that stuck by me I have been given support and opportunity. Both are very important to me right now as you can imagine!

On top of making posters for Lightburn Productions, another friend has offered to hire me to build her a website and get her business off the ground. This friend has been a friend to me through a lot of things, and she is pulling through for me again. It's going to save my arse!

On top of arse saving, it is going to allow me to build more of a portfolio. Who knows, maybe all these scattered 'talents' I have will provide me with that solo career of being artistic and free after all. This starving artist might actually not starve! See? Hopeful. I have hope again.

This is a bit of a mushy post, but I'm sick as ten dogs and feelin' pretty mushy right about now.

Now, all I have to do is line up a few more projects and I should be ok for a couple of months. This should allow me the time I need to find a job, pay off these ever mounting bills and breath for a while... well, the breathing thing probably will not happen until my face is not plugged from the plague!

Off to rest, have to get better so I can get working again!

Leave me home remedies!! I need to get better!

Bad Times in Sadie Land!

The title of this post is a wee bit more dramatic than things in my life actually are. I mean, there -are- some nasty things lurking about, but there are also lots of positive things and mouse sized doors opening up here and there. With a little love from my friend 'TNT' those mouse sized doors will become large enough to fit giants through!


So um, where can I get some TNT?

I will spare you a lot of the negative, because frankly who wants to hear about it and who really cares? The internet is full of griping, whining and woe is me'ing already so I need not add to the pity pile. (I reserve the right to take this back in a future entry when I am feeling especially sorry for myself and feel the need to form my own internet support group)

I will just say that EI sucks and is useless and didn't pan out for me. THAT being said, now I'm pushing harder to find work. This is not whining, this is just fact stating!

I've had to put the blog layout on temporary hiatus as I was working on a few projects and yanno, looking for work. I made a new resume and I've sent it out hither and thither but no bites yet. It really is like fishing, and you really do hope to catch the big one, but so far guys... stagnant waters still.

Maybe the ol' resume isn't attractive enough. I wonder if the colors make it look fat, or if it is wearing the wrong shoes on it's footer. Maybe I'll give it a third makeover today.


Thanks to Jessie Lightburn for giving me my first real shot at freelance work! You rule sista!

Maybe now that I am finished with that poster I'll get back to finishing the blog layout. Things that pay before things that let me play, you know how it is. I do think I should deal with this cold I've got brewing first though as it is making my eyes run as if they were in a marathon, and they are starting to cross at random... you know when you are about to have a REALLY big sneeze and your face contorts in to a shape you never knew was possible? Yeah it's like that, but then no sneeze comes, just a flood of watering eyeballs.

My face is art, very very abstract art.

Thank you for reading!
