Grog,
I was unemployed for 14 months & it was SO devastating to my self esteem. But I am now working for such a fantabulous company! Feeling SO fulfilled & happy! Hope that you are feeling the same!

Ape mug news: GROG trying to make a silicone mask tonight to mask off the ape from the fez so GROG can apply underglaze on the greenware, so if it works, it should speed up the process. Wish GROG luck. Lots of kiln firing in august and September. Need a bigger kiln.

Thanks for the good wishes everybody. GROG survive the first episode; now onto the next. The first director was a real sweety, but the next director is picky S.O.B. Him a nice enough guy, but him just change stuff too much and it's hard to meet deadlines and make quota when GROG have to redo everything all the time. GROG not mind changing stuff when it is a real improvement to the scene, but when it's changing stuff just to be changing stuff, that make GROG frustrated. GROG nearly quit working on Futurama because of him when he was an Asst. Director.

Congrats on the job sir! The daily grind is a bit of a drag, but getting a check for your time, and buying shiny, sparkly things with it is nice. So shiny.

Yay! Payday again today.
They finally got GROG a Mac to work on instead of the PC, so that make things a bit easier, but then they had GROG start using FLASH to do the storyboards and GROG never use Flash before, so more frustation during learning curve. Thankfully the Assistant director GROG share office with is Flash whiz, so him can answer all GROG' many questions and stop GROG before GROG throw computer out window.
