How much life has changed lately...

So for those of you that didn't know when I first moved into my awesome life work artist loft, I had been guaranteed a gig as a graphic designer and photographer for one of the hottest clubs in the city and then after I moved in the guy flaked out. So I was in a lease and had no job. Well I was doing Task Rabbit for a while, which for me was a waste of time. I guess I've got kind of a bad attitude, but really it was a deal of I'm really not sure how to deal with people in diplomatic way when I feel they're trying to take advantage of me, and you're working with people from other countries sometimes so you get people who have a different idea about what is acceptable business behavior. Basically if you have me spend a month designing a corporate identity for you and you keep having me create multiple versions so you have lots of choices even though you were "in love" with the first one, and then keep asking for more work out of me that is beyond the original scope of the project and then give me flack because I'm not happy after I've created a logo, a corporate identity, files for you to animate for a video logo for your website, you decide you want me to create separate distinct business cards for each of your business partners when your ad said you only wanted one business card for all of you and a logo for your company, I'm going to flip the fuck out. So then I was applying for jobs like a mad man. Almost got job offers several times, actually had one for about a second until they realized that the DOL messed up on my CDL paperwork and they had to hire someone right then. Couldn't find work and had to move out before the first of May. I did get some serious work done on my painting though after I bought some medium. Now I'm living at home with my parents, again, and I'm trying to figure out where I go from here. I've got an amazing idea for an art series and I'd like to apply to graduate school but I don't have enough money for either right now so I'm trying to come up with some initial capital right now. Oh and I went on vacation with my family to Florida and we ended up meeting Beryl face to face.
