Have I just lost my capacity to blog? It feels like it in this moment of a blank page and wondering what to say. I swear I used to post all the time, now I mostly marvel that I don't know what the heck I'm doing. So, with that thought out of the way, let's see....
Job stuff- It's been almost exactly 2 months since I left my job. I don't dream about it much, but sometimes I do. Last night it was definitely anxious-making. The library space changing drastically. Being downtown, but everything felt wrong. Ghosty. I miss the people. The people may or may not miss me. Mostly they don't ping back when I ping them, which feels shitty, but not much I can do about that but keep moving, I guess. I did pick up a consulting gig, but I don't see that as a sustainable model for me. The resumes I put out there have very much not landed, thus breaking the statistical trend I'd set over the last 3-4 years of at least getting a fair number of phone interviews and some in person ones. I'm looking at a temp agency for work. I think I'd like the idea of knowing when I go in I won't be there for more than a few months. It won't be archival work in this instance- that's for sure. It also is a thing that several of my potential opportunities come from the federal government, which isn't paying its existing employees, so therefore won't be looking for or paying new ones any time soon. Mostly trying not to fall into catastrophe mode. Hah.
Arisia- I'm excited to go to Arisia this year. Even with the turbulence and uncertainty and all. Yesterday I looked over the tins I'll take to art show. Last year was very much fewer than the year before in favor of scarves. This year even more so since I think I've done *one* in the last 12 months that I still have in stock. It's all about the scarves, which I'm making a lot of in the next few days. I still have no idea how I'm going to display them. I'll figure it out somehow. But, I'm playing a tabletop one-off role play w friends on Sunday, a closed door party also Sunday, and the art reception on Friday. Other than that, I'm winging it per usual.
Projects- Oh hey!! I have a new art-centric website. fnamelname.com. It's great. I love it. I'm also taking a tutorial on silk painting from a woman who had a booth at the Harvard craft fair this week. I have to figure out what I want to do with that. No idea. Something? Show me things!! It's going to kill me a bit to learn all this stuff mere days before Arisia, but so it goes.
OK. I guess that's what I have for now.
