Blessing in disguise?
Posted 02-20-2009 at 08:16 PM by dieselartist
I received my first layoff due to low volume sales company-wide in November 2007. To try and make ends meet, I've worked two jobs since then to almost match that year's income. My night job is now experiencing the same thing and has laid the night crew off. I've been attempting to get my artwork going the last year, but it has been decidedly difficult working 60-70 hours a week, being active in my church, as well as being active in the diesel crew out here.
However, I'm seeing this as a blessing because I still have my day job, and with my nights free now, I can put the time I want into developing my illustrations. Who knows? Maybe I'll be the next Camilo Pardo
Hey, I can dream, can't I! 
Everyone's giving me advice on night job openings (mostly gas stations...at night...um...no), and they're all asking when I'll be looking next, but I'm going to see how the artwork goes. I feel God's been pushing me in that direction since my first layoff, but I didn't have enough faith in my own abilities to pursue it. We'll see what happens
