Big news: I got a job offer! An honest-to-God, full-time--and this is huge--union job offer! My health insurance might not run out after all! A round of HRT for everyone! I'll go into more detail in a future post (I'll feel like I'm jinxing it until I actually get my first handout) but this is such an enormous weight off my chest. Things were--and continue to still be--incredibly dark in the animation industry this year, and while this job isn't a permanent solution, the fact that it exists at all feels like a small miracle.

. . . so, of course, I am now stewing in anxiety for absolutely no reason! I think it's primarily because I'm putting pressure on myself to knock as many things off my to-do list as possible before the new job starts. I was hoping to finish up my new board sample soon, and that will be tricky on the new schedule. Plus I really need to get my act together in promoting Volume 3 of TGS. I'll probably feel better if I write out a schedule?? And I'll need to figure out a way to knock out this freelance assignment before my start date. Still! In this environment, I'd rather be too busy than not at all.
