Debatable

[secondlina]

The bigger room turned out to be the studio, with our two computer desks and stuff since we did need more space for the work stuff and that the bed fitted perfectly in the small room.

It's my last day at work tomorrow. YAY. Don't get me wrong, it was a pretty good job. Good pay, good people, work I do well... But I hated how far it was and how doing extra hours seemed almost mandatory every week to stay on top of the workload. I don't mind doing some once in a while, but when it's actually part of the routine... It just seems like a lot. Especially when I need more time to draw and stuff. Basically, this job was awesome, and it's a good job for someone who's priority is to get a kick ass career and invest all their time in it. But I guess my motivations and my aspirations are elsewhere. Working so much extra hours was starting to make me bitter. I think i'll miss the place though. Especially some of the people who worked there. some were such sweethearts!

Friday, i'm going to plan out my return to Montréal and the things I want to do when I get there. Saturday i'm just going to relax and shop for a few things that I need.

My friends are awesome. My friend Fauve and her fiancé Other Pascal gave me a little goodbye card with a little (very useful) present. Some other friends threw their money together and got me an amazing book/sketchbook bag where the words 'Marche ou rêve' are written (that's french for 'Walk or Dream.' It's also a pun of 'Marche ou Crève' which is an expression that sounds almost the same and is a classic litterature/movie line saying 'Walk or violently die'... Then english equivalent of the pun would be 'Go (insert location) or bust!'). My friend Tama is getting rid of a few things i'm going to go pick up on friday. Thanks you guys for all your wonderful gifts.

I just learned I have to come back next weekend (October 10th) for the Gatineau Comic book festival as I am part of the artist crew with the ROSE publisher. Hey, it could be fun. We'll see. I usually go to the festival every year to score a few books anyways. What's the harm of going and being behind a table for once?

Woot! I got my book today! XD It was so awesome I read it twice and shared with my boyfriend and friend from work! =D So heart breaking like watching a silent film tragedy unfold. Your imagination and expressions are amazing baby! :)

Now, on to your post...

Awesome art as always! Love how you bust out little scenes of every day life decisions ;)

Yea for you and your last day of work! XD And coolly to the awesome gifts! =D

I'm sure being behind a table at the comic book festival will be an awesome experience! Have a blast!

It should have been a non-issue. Small spaces are more suited for privacy and mass cuddle sessions (*cough*) anyway, while bigger spaces are better for when needing to be apart to do your own thing. I can't wait to have a place where my work space and my sleep space are two separate spaces.

You're probably already at work, but I hope you were able to enjoy the last day!

Oh, I completely agree with the above sentiments as well! Stef initially put the idea in my head and it's one I'm going to suggest to Mike when we move in together - have the larger room be the one with our desks, gaming stuff, etc., unless we're stuck with a 1-bedroom apartment. Right now, my dining room is the converted office.

Enjoy your last day of work, sunshine!

I think that makes sense, besides you don't need much space for cuddling. ^_~ I'm glad the move went well and I hope you have a good last day of work.

The Comic book festival sounds fun, it can't hurt to go.

Haha, that's how it is for us -- big space for fun and games and stuff, smaller space for the bed. Like everyone else said, you don't need much room to cuddle. :3

I hope your last day of work is great!

You could've had a studio bedroom! Snuggle in bed with the computers around...a very productive environment. ~_^

Hopefully you'll get a good Montreal job that will be just as fun, though perhaps without all that mandatory overtime.

LOL, Link...


So do we get pics of the new place or what? *a-hem*


And I got your book today!!! I haven't opened the package yet because I'm savoring the anticipation, but when I do... whoa!!

LOL. your comics are always a treat to read. XD
Have fun at the Comic festival. Let's hope it gives Rose a little more exposure and advertisement. :)
