Just curious, for those of us who have jobs, who comes here while they're actually at work? I guess you can say school too if you're there. I'll go first since I spent 6 of my 9 hours here yesterady.

Who's at work right now?
I'm currently at my "full-time job" of submitting resumes and cover letters to any and all open positions that are even remotely feasible. (Including part-time, minimum wage stuff locally but only full-time positions anywhere that would require me moving.) – It's at least as frustrating as a real job, but I don't get paid for it and see absolutely no progress from it. -_-
I miss grad school, especially my teaching assistant gig. I used to surf the internet during office and open-door tutoring hours. It was just like what I do at home, except I got paid because I was in an office. :)
Art History II. This class is so boring…Although Albrecht Durer is slightly better than studying Altarpieces.
I hear you. Especially since my ditz of a teacher doesn't ever actually teach us much. I could be doing homework or trying to get my work into galleries right now. Or even building up a base of work to get into galleries. I wouldn't mind it if I actually ended up learning something more than how to B.S.

Aw… But them's my favorites! (For real. I'm a printmaker, so Durer's like God to me; and my thesis has a lot to do with Gothic altarpieces.) ;)
I haven't taken printmaking yet. There's a rumored lithography class that's supposed to happen next semester though, and I plan on taking it if it exists.
your comic reminds me of his intricately detailed woodblock prints. :)Art History II.

I never liked doing printmaking too much myself… I loved doing the etching, engraving, preparing etc, but not the printing: way too messy and clunky a process. I always hated mess in artwork.
Which is why I could paint in my very best clothes and not get a spot on me. :)
No icky paint smeared smocks for me!

I get online during work because I get bored, and drawing at work isn't fun.

I always hated mess in artwork.That's why you need to pay people like me to print stuff for you. Heh. I feel you, though- printing is my least favorite part. That's why I want to be a professor- so I can have an army of undergraduate slave labor to print stuff for me. lol!

Most printmakers (including myself) are actually neat freaks/ obsessively organized. I do know some "messy" printmakers, but usually we scoff at them and tell them to get back to painting, where they belong. ;)
Guilty as charged, but only on my lunch.

I know your pain. This is an especially hard time to be looking for work with so many layoffs happening.
You might want to check in with the people you knew from that office, and use networking sites like LinkedIn to see if you can leverage things. It's hard slogging, so I wish you the best!
That's why you need to pay people like me to print stuff for you.Now that's the trick I missed in printmaking ;)
All I could do to get around the mess was be extra careful, wash up well, and try and avoid the horrible stinky oil based inks. … Even though my lecturers frowned on it I used the acrylic stuff for pretty much everything and it worked nicely. SO much easier to clean up. -_-

My work doesn't let me get online. They don't let me sleep or drink booze there either. They are always trying to screw me.I do all three at work… Less of the booze and the sleep while in the office, but it has been known. :)
I think I should do comic stuff instead of hanging around here…
