It's been a while and I'm still behind as all fuck on a lot of neat projects.
I finished up some freelance work and I'm currently doing a documentary segment. Not sure if I can talk about the details of it openly but that will take up a good chunk of time, here's a hint, It's about everything, and everyone who makes the everything.
October was a great month for me on the t-shirt side of things, I sold more shirts in October than I've sold in the last 6 months combined SO THAT'S PRETTY NEAT.
I launched a new Nicolas Cage Cat Shirt on my Etsy shop. They're now available in grey :D
I've been a bit sluggish on updating my webcomic because 1, it sucks and I'm not funny, and 2 my site looks fucking dumb and I'm too stupid to make it look better.
Last Friday I had the weirdest and worst job interview ever.
The guy who interviewed me told me off the bat that I seemed nervous when I didn't feel nervous at all. He continued to insist "relax man, relax" I seriously didn't feel nervous I have no idea why he thought I seemed nervous.
Then we sat down in parallel chairs, not facing each other, parallel. I had to talk over my shoulder to talk to him.
He wouldn't hold eye contact for very long and seemed uncomfortable looking into my eyes.
Upon looking at my resume and noticing that I work at McDonald's I was asked really well thought out questions such as "Do you eat a lot of McDonald's" and when I said no he asked me "Do you hate McDonald's?" which I replied no and explained why I didn't hate McDonald's. I went into depth that I would have quit McDonald's a long time ago if I truly hated it.
The dude even mentioned that he didn't get to eat lunch that day. THAT'S SO FUCKING GOOD TO KNOW DUDE, NOW I KNOW YOU'RE NOT JUST A FUCKING MORON BUT YOU'RE A HUNGRY GRUMPY FUCKING MORON.
Later on I learned that the dude isn't supposed to do interviews and isn't even a supervisor.
Why that company, which I won't name, decided to pick a hungry terrible interviewer I have no idea.
If I owned a company I would want the person doing interviews to represent my company. They're like ambassadors. So why the fuck is your ambassador hungry and have his head up his ass?
Anyway, I'll probably find out later this week if I got the job or not.
BTW Happy Veteran's Day, here's the full Michael Kamen soundtrack of Band Of Brothers

Easily one of the best interview horror stories I've heard, if not just because the unclimactic but ultimately unnerving reality of it. lol yer a trooper man, and you're absolutely right. Any company who doesn't take their hiring process seriously isn't a company worth working for (imo).

It was a total brain fuck because of how rushed and unprofessional it was. I was told the interview would last 30 minutes but it was over in roughly 5 minutes.
I think I made the mistake of putting freelance animation/artist work information at the bottom of my resume and he asked me "artist" questions that when I answered really honestly he just didn't even know what the fuck I was talking about and he asked me how long a single frame of frame by frame animation takes to do or as he called it "one of those tons of drawings" and I said "it depends anywhere from 5-20 minutes depending on detail and frame rate" but it's like he would interrupt before I could even answer the questions.
It's like he was throwing out questions he didn't even give a fuck to know the answers.
He then said "oh yeah I used to do art and draw, but I never pursued it" I asked him "what kind of art did you do" and whenever I would direct questions back at him it's like he would just ignore them entirely or try to change the subject really fast.
Ugh fuck that guy.
