lost job, bad fit

was a graphics company that didnt do any graphics
thus didnt need a graphics artist namely me; thus out i went

shortly after i got job at small newspaper, the caribbean camera
also got a couple of contract jobs, media center needs graphics guy
and web master; the printing press wants me to do some web stuff
some logo animations or something; and iron pot is always asking me
to do stuff. they just paid me $50^^ ... wait a sec that aint much, wheres the other $100 odd bucks they ow me?

gad i don't like freelance work. takes obsurd amount of time to find the job, and after you find it and do it, your back on the street. and doing the job can be troublesome too. you could take on a project, lets say it takes you about a week to finish. for a client it takes about 2-3 times that amount of time cause your constantly trying to fix it the way "they" want it. then its like "change this" few days later, "no change it back" gees man make up your mind what do u want -_-;;

also tried applying to animation program again ... gotta say didnt go too well. ive definitly improoved my portfolio, but im not happy with it. its like i got several decent pieces, but now my life drawings are really suffering sad also i got a bad feeling that if i dont get into the program sooner rather than later then things will be harder on me in the future

i dont know why but ...
