Phoenixwriters.co.uk is now the home of Animal Fighting Carnival. My new comic strip.
Its good to see it on the site, good for me, since I know that people can actually see it. Does anyone realise how difficult it is to do something the let it go into the public domain? Its very scary and that is one hurdle over with.
The fear of work being seen is that it may not be good enough I think that I can accept criticism of the strip. I know some of it isnt so good but with some work Im going to get something that I really like and hopefully everyone else will like too. At the moment the strip is quite basic but as my artwork develops I will be making something a bit more edgy and 'funkier' looking.

Rant! Snarl!!
Well first time Ive been on in ages and I am pissed off!!
I am pissed off with work, not an unusual occurance for a lot of people out there but rare for someone normally stoic and placid like myself. I must work for the most inept company on teh facew of the planet, not in the large schemes but in teh stupid miserable details.
Some bright spark has decied to do away with our seperate printers and fax machines and lease one that does both jobs....poorly!!! Now my company has a history of having faxes that dont work and printers that do not work, put them together and you have shit pie. For instance today, when a large report was printing we were unable to send faxes or receive them to our emails (another great idea whacking great PDFs of mostly blank white paper). This lasted most of the afternoon. and was still somehat hampering our work in the evening. When I finaly got to print my data had been lost. Work I needed to send to customers was lost, gone, into the ether.
But this is just the starter, the main course is that, being a salesperson I spend bugger all time actually on teh phone to customers, in fact I have made about 2 hours outbound call time in the last 2 weeks. My boss has asked what is taking up my time and i have told him, but I dont get the feeling that he understands me, perhaps I am speaking a different language to everyone else. I spend by time doing admin on his accounts and dealing with problems like when my customer notified me of a failed delivery, in fact the delivery hadnt failed if you were someone else in completely the wrong part of the country!!! I tell my boss that I need to be doing more outbound calls and that the admin should be passed on which he has agreeed to, the thing is though, that he hasnt actually let anyone else know and when I try to pass teh admin i just get blank looks and understandable shock!!! When I try to chase up stock orders for customers such as printed product it takes nearly a day of constant nagging to get answers off people. In one instance aprint job that should have taken 8 weeks has now taken 3 months!!! and is looking like being an extra 4 weeks wait because noone bothered to order the stock!!! So as well as doing admin I have to make sure that the purcashing team get the stock in on time so i can release it to the customer (I'll be the purchasing director then!!).
BTW work in teh packaging industry so get this we supply paper but teh stuff we use JAMS our printers!!!! we have to send sample to customers in old printer paper boxes cause we have none of our own!!!!!
God I hate my job...time to move on
