-Interviewer was 45 minutes late for an in-person interview

-Company scheduled a phone interview with me, never called, emailed days later to reschedule, was five hours late for their second attempt

-Hours and days of a job in the listing were completely different than what I was told in the interview

-Was straight up told that they never intended to fill a job they'd posted the listing for

-Required three professional references/experience for a "no experience needed" minimum wage job

Getting better a little at a time. I've been putting a lot of thought into what I want to do next. As far as what to do with my degree, I want to be a forecaster. Just have to figure out how to get a job doing that.

As for artistic stuff -- I work on my friend's animation pretty much every day and I'm just noticing again how much I love the whole animation process. Thinking about making all of my projects animated. Writing and drawing comics doesn't make me nearly as happy, and it's not like I have to post a bunch of stuff in quick succession to stay relevant. They might never get done but at least I'll enjoy working on them.

Haven't done an introduction post in a while so now's as good a time as any 👍

I'm Whirlwynd

If you can't tell, I'm a bit of a goofball

I'm 41, currently living in Colorado, basically trying to put my life back together after smashing my brain, attempting to be a freelance artist and then going to school for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. I still make art! I worked on comics for a couple decades, the last an adaptation of the 2014 version of Shadowgate

though probably if you saw anything of mine previously, it would have been my Cuphead adaptations

I'm taking a break from comics and fanworks in general to work on original projects, written and animated. Posted about them earlier this month: https://www.tumblr.com/geminicblue/720109582384513024/its-my-birthday-not-going-to-be-doing-a-lot

I also try to gather them at my main site when I remember I like nature in general, especially storms, birds, and mountains. Behold, the Rocky Mountains, my one true love
