Week two of tech training is over. This week was incredibly boring and I spent the majority of my time doodling rather than actually taking notes. This unexpectedly led to me designing tattoos for my newest friend. He's already gotten one of them inked, too. He's delaying the second one since it's a rib piece and will end up being insanely painful. This is the coolest thing I've done in forever. It might actually be the coolest thing I've ever done. That how it feels anyway. I have two more concepts I'm working on this weekend and another that I'm not even ready to begin. I've also generated a lot of interest in our classroom. I might pick up a few commission pieces. Also, I might have a second job as a freelance design artist in a tattoo shop when they (my newest friend and his tattoo artist friend) get that going. Supposedly, it's good money. We'll see about that. In the meantime, I'm having an insanely great time drawing - it's been quite a few years since I've even bothered - and making some money doing it. Just how much has yet to be seen, but I don't mind waiting until payday. Besides, the fact that my art is now permanently scarred into someone's flesh is more than adequate payment for my trouble.
I'm really excited about this, by the way. I am seriously freaking out over it.
The job posting I applied for closed on Thursday. I hope I hear something next week. I also received another cold call from some recruiter who found my resume online and wants to offer me a job. It's a sales position for an insurance company. I'm going to pass. Even if I don't get the employee coordinator position, I'm still completely satisfied with my new career in tech support. Besides, who knows... six months from now I could be working full-time drawing out art concepts for all the cool kids at a shithole tattoo parlor on the wrong side of town. And I'm sure I'll love that even more.
I'm really, really, really excited about this.
