RE: DM's quest for work - Drunk Monk - 05-29-2020

Today has been a good day.

I got offered a part-time position (20 hours a week) at the place that I interviewed for last week. We're moving to the next step to nail down the details.

I got tapped by an old friend to do a freelance interview. Compensation is minimal but it's for a prestigious outlet, one that I would love to continue to serve as a reporter. The phoner is next Monday, interview due Thursday morning, akin to the schedule I used to abide by for screeners for KFM.  

I also got asked to provide some photos for that iMort consulting job so their artist can create a team avatar for me.  

I was pretty glum this morning - it was grey out and I had those major covid blues.  But things have turned around. Tonight we're celebrating with some take-out.

I [heart] good news.

RE: DM's quest for work - Greg - 05-29-2020

Yay.

❤️

RE: DM's quest for work - Drunk Monk - 05-29-2020

yeah, i so needed a win.

looks like i've got some work to do now.

A friend from the martial world reached out to me about teaching a zoom class on weapons for a $100 honorarium. I replied to get more details. 

Alas...freelancing...

With an actual lance, maybe

Albertson? He's not a martial artist.

Then how the heck did he get in DOOM? He fenced a little, didn't he? That counts. 

I've always loved the term 'freelancer' from its ronin-like origins. And I'm pretty good with a lance...that is if you call a guandao a lance. 

The interview went okay. I confess I was unusually nervous about it, mostly because of the change in tech. I keep forgetting how many tools I leave behind with TC. I need to freshen up my arsenal.

Stacy has been enabling my image shift. She's searching new attire (sorely needed) and has me set up for a trim.

RE: DM's quest for work - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-01-2020

Clothes maketh the DM. You’ll be amazed how much getting a change of costume and a trim can do for your mood. Glad the interview went “okay” for you, so probably actually went very well by industry standards. Guando totally count as a lance if you are freelancing.

RE: DM's quest for work - Drunk Monk - 06-02-2020

damn. i did work for three different companies today. sucked up my entire morning. and i have more to do tonight. plus there's the afternoon haircut. 

alas, freelancing.

RE: DM's quest for work - Drunk Monk - 06-03-2020

I picked up a gig to produce 3 hour-long webinars for the national governing body of Wushu, the USAWKF. It's a contentious org, one that TC officially broke ties with due to their shenanigans, but the offer came through one of the new young turks of the org, someone who is a personal trusted friend. It's a simple gig for me actually - the topics are weapons. It feels a little weird tho - like being the ronin hired by the rival shogunate. Freelance life.

RE: DM's quest for work - Drunk Monk - 06-03-2020

So...

I was scheduled for a meeting with Imort at 3 but it got cancelled at the very last minute. Just before it got cancelled, I got a call from the potential part-time position that I've been offered. We had planned an online meeting next Wednesday, but they wanted to know if I was available now, which I wasn't because I was waiting for the Imort call to happen. Now both meetings have been postponed to Friday and I'm sitting here with a fresh cup of tea, feeling annoyed. 

Alas, Freelance life...

Imort has been announced. I'm consulting for a comic by Immortal Studios. The first issue is called The Adept. I know y'all probably get plenty of spam already, but I'll be grateful if you sign up for their Kickstarter notifications here.

Ordinarily I wouldn't commit to a Kickstarter, but they've already made good on their first compensation check for me, and that check is in the bank, so I'll stick with them until the checks stop coming.

RE: DM's quest for work - Greg - 06-03-2020

And done.

RE: DM's quest for work - Drunk Monk - 06-03-2020

Thanks! It's been a rather fun job actually. The pay is decent for the time spent. I only wish they had more hours for me...

RE: DM's quest for work - Greg - 06-03-2020

Money is good.
