Hello...
I'm getting away from graphics (as a career) for a while — or at least diminishing my focus on it. The corporate world is toxic, shady and highly unreliable. I can tell you horror story after horror story of being cheated, lied to, stalled, ignored by formerly eager prospects... From the coke-snorting, church-going, tongues-speaking, corpulent blimp of a man I used to work for in the earlier years — to the well-connected jet-setting big shot who assured me of tens of thousands in business this year (even called me on a holiday break with great enthusiasm) but has been ignoring me since March.A business is only as good as its clients, and my clients/prospects (as of late) are worthless. I can't rely on ANY of them!
I could catalog all these experiences and write a depressing and annoying book, but keeping track of these knuckle-dragging skyscraper chimps would be as awful and useless as documenting the road kill I drive by periodically.
Here's a doggone chameleon. Shut it up, it's public domain, you uptight weasels!
So for now...
I'm going to start as an apprentice in a new trade (on monday). There's room for advancement and I won't be subject to the severe dry spells that comes with design jobs. Really, I wish I'd done this a decade ago.Furthermore, I hope to do a bit more with youtube and voice overs. For years I've been told that I should pursue voice overs, but have gone about it half-baked. Without the drama of having to chase clients, projects and payments, hopefully I can focus on building a career in voice, little by little. And eventually, perhaps the prospects that speak highly of me and my services — but never follow through — eventually will. I do NOT intend to let go of my new job though, as I know all about these drooling cubicle sloths and their duplicitous shenanigans! I will never trust these clowns again!
Hopefully I'll be around a bit more here as well...
Thank you!
Good luck! I wish you great success!
Me too still looking for new ways of living. Trading coins look fair for now. But It is all about our luck. Hope you will be in peace at last.
Hello! Honey, how are you? an update? Good to see you! hmmmm good, read you. the truth is that you have gone through so many things that it is true you can make a book with everything that has happened to you and the stupid ones (I hate them) that have bothered your life during all these years, but the book still has no end and can change the course of history. You are an open book that is still being written constantly every day, those bad days will be a matter of the past a bad memory, but somehow you learned something and experience which is valuable too.
You are synonymous with a fighter, who has gone through a lot of things but keeps knocking on doors without giving up. It makes me very happy that you have a new job and I hope it works out very well for you and that no co-worker bothers you when you are reading your messages.XD
All the luck for you! your voice is good, it's an option.
PS: tomorrow is my birthday, well, in Steemit! I'm older than your XD XD XD.
The small letters are great, a clear message, your tags kill me XD.
Regards DEAR!

Self employment can suck at times and is very hard. No shame at all in pulling back and re-evaluating what you are doing and where you wamt to go.
Yep. Self-employment isn't the most accurate term either... more like "customer-employed"... I can't hold them to their words. Now that I'll have a chance to grow into another career, I don't have to rely on the unreliable so much :D
cool, and when you are bored or have some spare time you can always draw for us here on the Steem Blockchain!
All the best my friend. It is liberating to FIRE YOUR CLIENTS!
You are talented at whatever you choose to do.
You already know you have my support on here! Excited to see what the future has in store for you bruh!
Well in a sense it feels "too little too late"... I mean... the job is lowish pay... if I'd done this job as a side thing for a decade though, I'd be in decent shape... I feel like I'm trying to rebuild from the ashes... Corporate America has not be friendly to me lolz...
But regardless, it's GO TIME!! :D
I'm also starting a career as an electrician.i told my self the same thing why I didn't do that years ago. But life besing what it is we all kinda get stuck in comfort until its no longer comfortable.o wish you good luck in your new career!!
Good luck in your new endeavour and break a leg :)
There are ladders to climb, very tall ladders!!! :D
Too funny, I give an important update and some stupid bot shows up to comment :)
