HS: Tomorrow, after a dry spell of, literally, four months, I’m scheduled for a day of on-site work at a popular (but not very sexy) magazine. I’ll be filling in for someone on Jury Duty, so it might extend for a second day.
I’ll be working on “advertorials”, which are essentially ads masquerading as content. That stuff is often set in a different typeface, and requires the word ADVERTISEMENT to appear. Not exactly my bag, but paying the bills ever so slightly.
So yea, I’m a whore.
This job came to me via a friend and former co-worker who is a mentor for the National Organization for Design (NOD). The fella at the magazine wrote to the mentors, and my friend passed it to me. So an in-network connection, if you will.
Otherwise, things are quiet. The other job I interviewed with have completed their background check and will be checking references next. Hopefully, this will wrap up soon and will lead to an offer of some kind. Freelance or perm, I’m bloody sick of non-employment.
I also got a new logo design project with a paying client. Hopefully, I can bang that thing out in 2 weeks or so and put it in the “done” pile quickly. We’ll see.
