I just need to take pics of my collection as a whole lol

Oh man that sounds frustrating.

Yeah my new job expects me to design T-shirts in less that 30 minutes and wants me to advertise and manage marketing when I know nothing about marketing. A single design takes at least an hour depending on the complexity of the design. And I’m the only designer on staff besides the owner. And he keeps taking me away from my projects to work on other projects and then wonders why the initial projects didn’t get done. And then he has the nerve to tell me I don’t know photoshop because I’m not reliant on the keyboard shortcuts like he is. Despite the fact that he didn’t know how to do something himself when I asked for help on one single thing! I’ve done everything else on my own! And he expects me to do everything the way he wants me to do it but doesn’t want to take the time to train me to do it his way. Plus the guy is horrible at time management. He is always late with his meetings and leaves me alone for hours on end so when I’m stumped I’m stuck alone not knowing what the fuck to do.

I should have known better than to take a job there. The guy once took me and a former classmate of mine on as interns. Never showed up to teach us anything. Paid us for two weeks and then canceled the internship program! Which left me getting a job at a place that primarily uses CorelDraw. Yet has the nerve blast me about my level of photoshop skill.

Thanks. I plan to revise my website and get help from my old college to find a new job. I might look into working for the school district. Might work my way into becoming an art teacher. I’ve already got my one boss to agree to writing a letter of recommendation to use when applying for jobs. I’ll ask my former instructors to write some as well. I hope you found something better after that experience.

All this talk about design reminds me of when I was in high school. I loved art and wanted to be a designer. And then one my friend's father told me that design is in decline here in Australia.

Surprisingly my English grades were the highest so I'm focusing on becoming a writer now.

Design isn’t in decline it just fluctuates in demand. It’s also highly competitive. Good luck with the writing. I’ve tried my hand at that. I’m pretty decent. I’ve studied creative writing in high school and college. It was fun.

Finally had an item I was waiting for drop into my Pile of Loot at BBTS earlier this week (MMC Mors), so I decided to get all my held stuff shipped out. I don't do more than a few BBTS shipments in a year, so I had forgotten the frustration of placing the shipment order and then waiting days and days for them to finally process, pack and ship it. Still hasn't gone out, which means it probably won't go out until early next week, which means it'll've been a full week for them to get three things boxed and labelled. Glad I paid for faster shipping!

Yeah BBTS is nice and has a good selection but man their shipping estimates are way off.

Pre-order dates go months over due. I understand stuff gets delayed, but some sort of updated timelines would be great. I've placed many pre-orders, then saw them cheaper somewhere else in stock and ready to ship. So I've received stuff while the same pre-orders wait and I ultimately cancel.

Yeah, that Mors figure in particular was in-stock at TFSource about three weeks ago. You're definitely rolling the dice with BBTS.

That part, though, I don't know. It feels like it's out of their control. Stuff arrives from vendors at weird times, especially when you're talking about overseas shipping. Taking four to six days to pack an order, though, that's 100% under their control. And I paid extra for shipping! Didn't go with the cheapest option! Thought that might expedite things! Was very wrong!

I started Build Divers Re:Rise. It seems promising, I quite liked Hiroto. People said he's a lot like Mikazuki, but I'm glad he's not. Also, RAY CHASE IS VOICING KAZAMI?! Oh man I'm gonna enjoy this dub.

The only thing I hate about this show so far, is that now I have the urge to get all the Planet Systems. Damn you Gunplas for being affordable!

Affordable? Hahaha that's where you start falling into the trap! I did a calculation of buying EVERY single Core Gundam variant and PLANETS System (including the Alus versions) last month and it amounted to around a WHOPPING 16,885 JPY; mind you this doesn't include the Anima Rize nor the Core Gundam II in Titan and G3 colors.

Gunpla's a bit of a dangerous hobby. Cheap, yes, but soon you might end up breaking your wallet.

Dude, I started collecting Gunpla last year, and now I have like 11 Master Grades, 11 High Grades, 12 Real Grades, 3 SDCS (Zeromaru included) and 1 Perfect Grade. So much so that my shelf is full and yet I still want more
