My email isn’t working. The personal email that I’ve had for over eleven years. I talked to the hosting company and they say “Yeah, there’s something wrong with that User. I’m going to open a Ticket and get back to you.” Great.

So what else is going on?

Let’s see. Nothing really coming up for this week… not really much going on for next week… not much the week after that. Well there you go.

Oh, here’s something. I still haven’t billed for those two freelance jobs I did in December. I guess I should get on that because that’s about $630 that I could have in my pocket. I’m always the worst when it comes to billing for my freelance gigs. I do the invoicing manually and maybe that’s the reason for the delay: taking 15-minutes to fill out the template I’ve created.

Here are some of the pieces I designed for Tiki 6. The Memorial Day Tiki party is hosted by friends Chris & Jeff at their beachhouse in Rehoboth. This year’s numbers of 6-6-6 almost took on a demonic theme before it was scaled back to “Are you a good tiki or a bad tiki?” The 6-6-6 comes from the sixth party, six is their house number and six o’clock was the party’s starting time.

The pieces are, clockwise from top left: back of t-shirt, cocktail labels, elevator sign (yes, the beachhouse has an elevator), front of t-shirt, back of invitation, front of invitation, “bad tiki” sticker sheet, “good tiki” sticker sheet. All work is original and created in Illustrator. Printing was done through Vista Print, with the exception of the elevator sign and cocktail signs which were printed using a home printer.

Last night’s DreamJob recruiting seminar was an enthusiastic meet-n-greet, basically. They explained a little more about the positions available, showed some brag reels, did some Q&A and basically explained why their stores are so successful. It was very warm and fuzzy.

The part I do feel optimistic about is that there seemed to be very few people who could fit into the Creative position that I’m particularly looking for. This should play into my favor even without my skill set and charm <snark>. The next step is for individual callbacks this week, so I’m eagerly waiting for that email.

On a side note, in addition to the freelance job I’m already working on with G they’ve also pointed me towards a small twice-a-year gig with an existing client of theirs, working on a newsletter. I’ll be working directly with the client instead of funneling thru them so it’s a nurturing relationship of a client of my own which is pretty nice. As I said, it’s not a huge job but it’ll be a few days work at least twice a year so I’m grateful for that. I told you April was going to be a great month!
