Challenge: call in sick to work, citing any of the following ailments:
-hiccups
-dandruff
-chapped lips
-a hangnail
-an ingrown hair
-halitosis
-eyelash in your eye
-hypochondria

Feel free to add to the list! ^_^

Ahem, seriously... I recently caught an icky cold that was going around my workplace. That combined with the 12 hours a day I've been working for most of this month (so horrible), and I haven't had much time to work on Unholy. ;_; I'll post the next three pencils to my scraps tomorrow, and hopefully I'll have the next four finished pages in a week or less. February has been exceedingly rough... though it seems like many of the people I watch had an unusually productive month. Yay you guys!!!

I'm hoping to not work as many extra hours anymore... I need to learn how to take a lunch break without feeling guilty. I also need to learn how to leave after working 8 hours. But it's just so hard... Yet it's draining and bad for my personal goals, so I really need to stop.

I remember being in college, having the instructors talk about how busy art directors are. Now that I kind of am one, I totally see what they mean.

Get well soon and good luck managing your time better. You should be proud you are a producive person.

Self: "Um, yeah, I've got really bad breath this morning, and I don't think I should subject others to it. So, I'm gonna stay home."
Self: "Okay, brush your teeth, use some mouth wash, and get some rest."

Ahem. Anyway, I hope you're feeling better now! :< I didn't know that you're sort of an art director! What do you do?

Lol, I suddenly remembered this program homosexuals had where there was this day where everyone of them would call in sick and their reason would be they were gay. o.o XDDD

I hope you feel better Bob, you do such great work. x3

Ooh, I think I've heard of that. I remember being tempted to try it! ^_^ (I'm straight, but I have a feeling a lot of people suspect differently since I'm a short-haired girl who goes by the name Bob ;)).

And thank you, by the way! I do feel better; luckily the illness didn't linger very long at all!

Hahahaa!!! :lol: That was awesome. ^_^

Ooh, to answer your question - I'm a product development associate at a collectibles company. Hehe, I suspect that didn't really answer your question at all; it's such a vague title! Basically, I design and concept collectibles and manage their creation from the concept stage to completed sample. As for art direction, I hire and direct freelance illustrators to do product concept artwork - though I admit I like to cheat and draw some of the less time consuming stuff myself. ^_^ I also art direct the sculptors, and the designers who put together the product advertising. Very busy and stressful, but not bad for a first job out of college. ^_^

Haha, that's a good one! I was definitely tempted to make that call about two weeks ago. ^_^

Which reminds me, I soooo need a haircut... ;_; Can I call in sick for that?

Sure. Most likely you would be told to not bother to go back and show them your new cut, though. :giggle:
:iconcacodaemonia:
Wow, yeah, that's an amazing job to land right out of school! I would be so nervous if I had to be in charge of that many people. D:
