It’s snowing (piyuun, in Naskapi).
Probably the biggest one I’ve seen in Baltimore. Nearly a foot of the stuff is on the ground already, and it’s supposed to keep snowing until Sunday night.
It makes me miss home. I really miss snow.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I left Schefferville.
We’re in forclosure again. I called Bank of America, they said they were going to send us a renewal package. instead, they sent our account to a collections agency. In the meantime, we’ve almost been able to raise enough money to pay them back in full.
It’s still not sustainable, though, and my day job still is enforcing paycuts.
People are looking out for me, though. Dinorah and Roger are encouraging me to hone my skills. Jason Knauer has also been taking an active role in mentorship as well, and has also encouraged me to learn more video editing.
I’m realizing that web and graphic design knowledge just isn’t enough. One also to know either deep coding, flash, or video to be marketable.
It’s discouraging. Essentially, my day job doesn’t have the need for what I have as a passion (graphics and illustration).
Tough pill to swallow…
We’re going out Christmas shopping in a little bit. Riding around to multiple stores buyin stuff isn’t my idea of fun, but I suppose it must be done. How did the most giving holiday of them all become the biggest shopping season? Why can’t we share company, food and friendship and let that be?
I’m not trying to be Scrooge, it’s just hard to spend when you really don’t have it…
