So I have left eBay. Though the people I worked with in the office were really good to me, the company itself left me feeling flustered. Seeing as how I don’t intend on using them as a reference, I can openly say I feel the company treat its employees and clients very badly, it seems that there is so much of a disconnect between those that do the real work, and those at head office, that they don’t realize how their policies effect people.
On a better note, I think I may have come to a point in my career where I can leave tech support and sales behind. Having been hired to work in entertainment again, I’m back in natural habitat.
I have also taken on a side job working for a small business. They design active wear for young children and I could not help but be interested in their process. For a long time, I have wanted to start a clothing line of my own, and I think this side work will help me fill in the gaps as to how. They seem to need somebody with many of my skills, and It’s a wonderful challenge to help market a company that has so much potential to grow.
For those interested, it’s called Agoo, I kind of like that it’s trendier and upscale cloths for kids. The designer worked in entertainment for years, so she understands trends. I’ve added their link to my side bar.Labels: Personal Post |
Ollie Johnston, the last of the "Nine Old Men" of classic Disney Animators, passed away on Wednesday. Ollie started working with Disney doing in-between work on their animated shorts in 1935, and progressed along with the other eight into their now classic feature films. You can either check out his credit list at imdb.com, or you can just walk over to your shelf and look at every single Disney feature-length animated film you have that was produced before "The Little Mermaid". He worked on all of them.
