So I didn't get that job I wanted. Which really sucks, because I would have been able to do everything Ive wanted with it, on top of learn how to become a better artist. I don't blame the company for anything, they're just doing their job and picking the best candidate, and I simply wasn't it this time. I'm still friends with everyone there and have no hard feelings towards any of them. It just sucks for me because Ive been jobless for 5 months now (with the exception of the odd Freelance job with Calabash here and there.)

To add insult to injury, when I got that rejection letter I decided to apply at 5 more places... and within 40 minutes was shot down by 3 of them. Today I woke up and was rejected by another. I'm vaguely beginning to think that its literally impossible to get a job! lol. At the rate it's going, I've just decided ANY job will do so long as it pays good enough for me to live in the city. But even that is hard because I'm too overqualified for those jobs. So I'm stuck in a limbo I cant seem to get out of.

The good news (for you at least) is that now Id have more time to spend on TOFA, both daily and weekly as they have updated how many weeks you get to work on each entry. My next one, (if I can actually get a script finalized for it.) is a stylized, action packed, cool Noire story. In theory its short, like maybe a minute to a minute and a half long. Hopefully I can pump out at least a script by the end of the day. Haven't really been in a good mood lately so thats why I'm lagging behind.

Heres to hoping I pump out something cool and get a job eventually!

Good luck with the job hunt! And I think TOFA will be a blessing in disguise for you - by the time it's over, your portfolio will likely look better than ever and hopefully then you can land that dream job. :)

Thanks Tom! I'm sure it will happen SOMEDAY.... I just want it nowwwwww lol.

Cheer up man. Good things will come, don't feel down. We're all in the same boat.
