GOT ACCEPTED INTO AN AFFORDABLE AND DEPENDABLE APARTMENT WITH A MERCIFUL MOVE-IN DATE OF APRIL 1ST (or earlier)............................ YEAH BABY!!! it's got its flaws but It's Affordable And Dependable and also near a lot of things so i'm ok with it

now i just need a full-time job to get back to me. any day now. that would be nice. i've been applying to three jobs a day every day for a while now (which is why i didn't actually end up being active for a lil bit on cc after all bc that rule (which is understandable) was put in place like a day after i made that bulletin) but haven't had any luck w/ even interview offers aside from one place which i quickly discovered is a Nightmare Hell Zone where the founders (who hang around bc the hq is in my area) throw millions of dollars at homophobes and transphobes and complain that millennials are special snowflakes (also common among management per glassdoor) so i decided to not pursue that. no amount of money is worth the agony that would be lmao even if my immediate co-workers were cool

ANYWAY i'm mostly just making this bulletin to say activity is still gonna be low for a while yet, but that kind of provides an estimate of when my life will start settling and my activity can be consistent again! i might get more active before then if i can get a damn job which is rly just my major obstacle, i could vent abt it for 50 years but i don't want a big ol vent abt unrelated stuff pinned on my oc website profile page but i'll just leave it at finding a job Is Hard esp when you kinda wasted your degree bc you didnt end up interested in its careers. so now i'm 30k in debt and spent 5 years in college and the result is me struggling to get a job that pays at least 11 dollars an hour - the bare minimum i need to pay bills every month and that might not be enough still bc our estimates are rough and also i'd still have to keep my current job one day a week - to take me

WHOOPS rambling again but yeah point is things are still gonna be inactive for a while, i still check cc every day to drop those mfuckin likes but haven't had time to send stuff, and i check here every day but mostly for bulletins and pings since i haven't had time for a lot of oc reading but i got all that saved in my inbox so i'll get around to it Eventually. atm any free time i have after i'm done scraping the bottom of the barrel for jobs is spent on playing etrian odyssey nexus bc it's so hecking long i feel like i'll probably have a job before i manage to finish it. which i mean is good bc god do you get your money's worth in terms of play time but what a terrible time for a long-ass game i rly like to release... suffering...

uh but yeah, tl;dr inactivity update: still inactive. still gonna be for a while. could be over a month before i have time to just sit and chill on the ol' internet, but could also be earlier

ALSO i might open commissions in the future if i can't get anything over 11 bucks an hour bc having that extra income would help a lot to have some form of emergency funds! art is a struggle for me and i dunno where the spoons will come from after working full-time 5 days a week + saturday mornings considering i rarely have art spoons when i have nothing goin on but we'll see... it might be a necessity so yeah. if i opened anything it'd probably be like lineless busts and chibis (i mean i gotta figure out how to chibi but ya know) akin to the little square fanart things i made a while back. it's a big maybe but i mention it bc when things settle i might open up requests to practice with and whatnot! would probably be around $10 bucks? also might open up a ko.fi or something at some point for anyone who wants to throw money at my poor ass

and yeah thats it! 2 lazy to think of a poll but have a nice day
