My Site and Drunk Duck

You could call me a busy beaver. I’ve been working hard on several pitches for the past few months, and it’s been keeping me extremely busy. On top of that, I’ve been working on getting ready for the first round of conventions for the year (NYCC in February, ACEN and Motor City Comic Con in May, and Wizard World Chicago in August), as well as job hunting. I’m told that because of the economy right now, there’s a temporary hiring freeze at most advertising agencies, which kind of sucks but wasn’t entirely unexpected.

I’m keeping at the job hunt every day, though, and trying like mad to move out of Michigan (there are more opportunities outside of this state right now, which mainly centers around the automobile industry…which, let’s face it, isn’t doing so hot right now. Give it some time, though, and it will turn itself around). I’ve enjoyed living here, but it had always been the plan to move out for at least 3-5 years and get a change of location under my belt (and who knows, find a place that I can call my “home away from home”), and if I felt like doing so later down the road, possibly returning. But first thing’s first: getting a job. I can’t really move somewhere before I have the job secured – that would be a bit of a gamble – but not many places are willing to hire someone who lives far away for fear that they may have to pay (or help pay) for my relocation. While that’s certainly appreciated, in this economy right now it’s not expected.

I’ll be at the New York City Comic Con (NYCC) this week, so be sure to stop by the Digital Pimp booth and say hello.
