There may be some of you there with these things in mind? Where's Uma...? I haven't seen him upload anything new to dA or update his Livejournal or get on AIM/Yahoo/MSN Messanger for a long time now. Well... life has become far more complicated than I expected or would've liked since Cindy and I got married.
I have no real qualms with married life or Cindy, really. It's just that since we've been married things haven't been going our way or even in a way partially friendly towards us. I've been staying with Cindy at her dorm since we've been married. Now, Cindy has graduated from this college and can't renew her lease (which she doesn't want to do anyway, thank god), and the lease ends July 31. And here we are, July 1, with no idea where we're going to live and no jobs. Okay... I take that back. No GOOD jobs. I'm the only one bringing in an income now, and that's with my Super K-Mart cashier job only brining in $450-$500 a month. Now that's not enough... not by a long shot.
I've begged and pleaded Super K for more hours, and they've been kind enough to obliged... racking me up with 30 hours a week now. And any time I haven't already devoted to them is spent dealing with emotional break downs, arguements breaking out between Cindy and I because we don't know what to do, or... if I'm lucky... actually getting to sit down and search for jobs and living (which is a "quest for the holy grail" type situation at this point). Problem is... we can't find any good jobs here in the Youngstown/Warren/Niles areas... and the only apartment that's willing to accept us is in warren. The closest jobs to there that have actually sounded interested in us is about an hour drive from that apartment. We'd be spending more money on gas than anything else a month.
Eh... sorry to bother you all with my problems... just wanted to get it off my chest and sorta explain why I've been absent from the internet scene. When Cindy and I do move... I'll be without internet entirely for an indeterminate amount of time, hence why I'm trying to find time to finish the sketches I started at AnthroCon and get them posted. Hopefully things will work out for Cindy and I. If anyone knows of a good job I could get with an Associates in Electronic Engineering Technologies degree or Cindy can get with a BFA in Graphic Design... and in the northeast Ohio area... please... let me know. We're totally at the end of our rope with only a month to find and decide on a place to live. L8r... I hope...

I know they're tonnes of Graphic artist job offers online if you plug it in a search engine. (did that myself but all were in America so no go...;_; )
I don't know what an electronic engineer does....so i can't help you there...
I hope it gets better soon dude - maybe you could both work at SuperK till things get abit better?

Grats on getting married though
I really hope you guys will be able to find a nice place and a job to go with it.
Once that stress is off yer shoulders I'm sure everything else will calm down a lot aswell.
I don't know of any jobs, however I do know that there are quite a few Graphic Designers that work from home so maybe that's an option. All I can think of is to put up her portfolio anywhere and wverywhere ya can. On-line job markets like monster and just mail it to any company you'd want to work for really.
Even if they don't have openings. With the job market these days ya need to get in their face to even stand a chance of getting noticed and offered a job.
So good luck with that.
I haven't been on DA much myself either lately unfortunately.
Also nice to hear from ya again, too

There's a whole world, outside your door, waiting to be discovered. But... why bother, when you can create your own world with nothign more than a pencil, paper, and your imagination? =^-^=
I hope Cindy never has to deal with working at Super K-Mart... ... but... if it comes to that... *sighs*
