Letting Off/Running Out Of Steam

Posted 02-05-2014 at 10:56 AM by JayDee
No, my Steam account's fine.

For the last three weeks or so I've been repeatadly putting myself out trying to find a job better than the one I had previously (Mopping up animal blood from an abattoir freezer) and after having handed out over forty copies of my CV I've still ended up back where I started mopping up blood.

Luckily I've had Kip's Oddysee to keep me busy and sane during all of this. I've been keeping up a fairly rapid yet steady workflow and have been using it as a kind of stress relief. The only problems I'm having is the fear of burning out as I have on previous similar projects, and considering the size of this project that seems ever more likely, looming just ahead. My main motivation at the moment seems to be to prove to myself that this is something that I can do if I just commit to it...


Probably.

Its a butcher's with an ajoining abattoir so I also have to bring meat from one cold storage unit to the next. And sometimes I'm in the back of the shop slicing up the meat depending on what cuts somebody wants, though I'm really not that good at that.
