slr2moons: a self-portrait, of me in my usual habitat: in front of my computer monitors! (pout)

My eyes are killing me. >< I must have leaned too close to Tsukushi's monitor for too long today. My eyes do have a high tolerance for staring endlessly into computer screens, but even I can overdo it. I know why this happened, b/c I've done four Pages from Hell in a row, which requires much in the way of careful retouching on my part. I've already cranked down the contrast and brightness on Utena, but I can't on Tsukushi for fear of it affecting my work. Anyway, I'll be hitting the eyedrops every hour or so. They don't cure, but they help.

It's funny how a ten minute conversation can drain you of energy, both from the stress of what you're saying and the relief you've finally said it. More behind the cut below. I can't give specifics but I can still type up a storm.

And the manga report's format has changed. I'll include whatever pages I've done since the last time I've blogged, rather than only listing the previous day's work. This way my babblings will be more relevant.

So the phone call. It's strange to have a boss that actually values your opinion. Not in that condescending way most bosses have, where they more or less let you vent or share an idea, then blow it off as nothing and never act on what you say. While this phone call wasn't the first time that my opinion and observations actually mattered, it is the 2nd. I admit that only time will tell if what I said will make a difference, it was rather enjoyable for me that the bigwig on the other end of the phone was genuinely interested in what I had to say. A very novel moment.

And very stressful, as mentioned. I'm glad it's over...we'll see what happens. *nods*

Having tired eyes makes the rest of me tired to match. And of course, the phone call is added on to that. :P

Manga pages completed: Clay 9.39, 41, 42, and 48; Nana 12.192 and 194; New 1.52, 56, and 68; Skip 9.36, 47, and 55, English 6.28, 29, 36, and 37. 2 Green, 3 Yellow, 3 Orange, and 7 Pages from Hell. Wow. Go, me. *very tired*

Oh yeah. I started pre-lettering Temp title today. What a rush. *veen* Once I install the fonts on Tsukushi, I can really letter it!! XD  Of course, when we examine the big picture we realize this means I now am lettering 6 simultaneous titles. But I try not to think about that. No point in letting myself get overwhelmed.

Back to work....
