    @Wildfire: sometimes that is just what you need, that kind of predictable plot. Not “predictable” but…. easy to read, y’know?

@Shadami: ... lol. Yeah, computer art can be fun, and it can definitely be work...but that's not what I'm working on ATM. I'll have to do a little digital art after this task is completed, though. But I can't do (my) "real" art on the computer. What I'd like to be doing is a whole different thing and it does not usually involve computers XD


@Bonnie: oh, ouch. That's never a fun thing to deal with. Are you reacting to an allergy or something?? I hope you feel better! :3


@sunny: Exactly. I tend to read these kinds of books because they are entertaining and distracting without taking themselves too seriously... which again, I definitely don't mind, but ... not in the middle of the night XD

    @Wildfire: no i just have really bad seasonal allergies and the transition from summer to fall is always horrible. the transition from winter to spring is worse

@Shadami: Yes, I'm much more of a traditional artist. The digital stuff just doesn't do it for me on pretty much any level... I can do it, I appreciate it, but... meh. /shrug/ Ya know??


@Bonnie: Yeah, I understand, and I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with that!! I have been dealing with Spring allergies the last few years. They really really suck. :( Is there an OTC or Rx that you can take that will help at all?? I end up living on an OTC for a month or two in the Spring... which I hate doing, but has been absolutely necessary in order for me to function...

@Borealis: lol! <3 I'm working on a couple things online right now (that I'd rather not be doing, tbh, but I'm late getting this project out. Ugh). Other than that? ... uhhhh... doing things I want to do?? ... doing other (iRL) things that need to be done??

How about you? - got anything interesting going on today?

Voltie Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/10/11 17:37:43 )
@Borealis: yeah, thank you.
... and ouch?! That's not the most comfortable situation for anyone, but eeesh. And they fired a manager in front of other people? Usually that is done a little more discreetly...

I love the texture of the real stuff. But when i basically got forced into digital or nothing because of space and money, i have a whole new appreciation for the digital xD

Voltie Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/10/11 17:57:49 )
@Shadami: Yes, I am dealing with some of that too... being "forced" in to digital instead of in to the iRL physical simply because of physical constraints. I've managed to take over the eat-in kitchen as a studio area, but it's not very large and although I do have an easel and a table/supplies set up there, I'm still quite limited with what I can do and how. *sigh* I try to keep the digital stuff to work- or site-related things only, unless I get a particular urge to doodle digitally... but I don't usually have the patience for that, tbh - mostly because I miss the physicality of actually doing "real" art. It sounds like you're inclined similarly...

@Borealis: Aaaah... that makes more sense. "Fire Person A, then explain to everyone else what happened and introduce new Manager X". Still, it is a little odd, isn't it? I can see where and why you'd be a little confused over those events. Did you have any direct involvement with the old manager?

@Wildfire: same thing with books :3 i love holding (and smelling) and feeling the texture of real books. laying upside down or at weird angles. not worrying about a tablet screen with no flipping pages and instead dealing with frustration of the screen turning cause of a weird angle. ect.

but yes. I think i understand ^^

@Borealis: It doesn't sound like she was accustomed to being in a managerial role, tbh, if she was complaining to "the regular folks" about stuff o_0 I hope this adjustment works well and that you're not adversely affected by it.

What else is going on in your day today?

I got my online work done. Finally. Fortunately. /dead/ XD

@Shadami: Yes, me too, but the digital books are sooooo convenient - because of where and when I read for leisure (usually in bed at night). It's really nice to not have to juggle a book light (because hubby is sleeping) or whatever ... I have a dedicated tablet (Kindle) that is back-lit, and I don't have to worry about losing my page or having the orientation of the words switch around on me, etc., but there are definitely books that I much prefer to have in physical format. I couldn't deal with them in digital form.... not at all...

@Borealis: oh, I hope so!!
... and yes, I hope to be able to move on to more fun things now, but there's still a couple of "should" things to do - but they are more enjoyable overall... like checking the garden. :3 Unfortunately, I'm feeling a little drained ATM so I'm not sure about getting in to do some creative things like I was hoping. /shrug/

i haven't found that middle ground yet with digital books. I try with dnd books to have the pdf for online games. and its the closest i've gotten. but i usually still end up picking up the physical copy from next to me and flipping through it to the pages i want. xD maybe i'll find the right tablet/kindle/ect at some point :3

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.

Voltie Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/10/11 18:42:51 )
Yeah, I completely get that. Again, I find that most of the time I prefer a physical book instead of a digital version, but the digital is definitely my "go to" when I'm trying to read in bed, or if I'm hanging out in the hammock or something. If I'm looking at things or trying to actively learn something or reference something, I pretty much need a physical book. Flipping through the pages, being able to make notes or highlight, or stick stickies on the edges of the pages... yeah.... <3
