The watercooler: a place to chat

[Rodimus13]

I can get a nice energy surge from music. When I have to work on the comic, electric swing is good.

I find different types of music helps with different things.

Ah, it reminds me bad times. I'm sorry you are in this situation right now. Very stressing..

If you feel like reading (comics or others), but you feel it does not help you to rest, one thing I would suggest is reading old favorites (if re-reading is not irritating to you).
I do that often. Because it's already known material, it does not take too much energy. And it can be comforting.

I also use music, as Rodimus suggested, although finding the right kind (not tiring you, not making you sleep, etc) may be a challenge.

If you are able to draw without making it serious, that's good too. No comic work, just doodles.

Any non-intellectual work if it's not tiring physically. Like reorganizing/classifying stuff unrelated to your work (like books, clothes etc).

All the best to you!

99% of my life is in these smiles, LOL.

P.S. Also (rarely)

GAHHHH >.<

I have a group that is elsewhere where we talk about stuggles and successes we have. I decided to share how I'm challenging myself with making a full OC and doing videos to post of her.

Person says they don't know what cosplay is.

I explain

They proceed to tell me how childish I'm being.

And I don't care if they don't like it but dang-it, this is a support group and you can at least be polite about how it's not your thing and you don't get why people like it!

And yes I realizing I am pouting like a child. I've had a long day with middle schoolers who don't wanna be at school anymore. I did not want to come into that mess.

I really don't like the idea that once you're an adult you have to abandon all hobbies and interests considered "childish".

Also not being able to voice your opinion in a polite way. That's something really immature.

[Rodimus13]

Right? I mean... I don't think it's much to ask. It's cool if you don't like it but that's why we learn manners. So you can nicely say "that's not my thing"

[skicoak]

Doesn't sound like a very successful "support" group.

[Rodimus13]

It's just one person thankfully. I'll see if the person gets a talking to later.

Hopefully someday someone invites this person to do something for no other reason than... "just because".

[LCT_m_a_d]

Kinda excited about trying inksgiving stuff

[jaereed07]

Tapas should add GL (girls love) too, not just BL so it's fair.

[Short_Insomiac]

ghandi was teaching a weird message but I agree

[LCT_m_a_d]

Late night at the office deploying patch code. Hopefully I can get home soon enough to work on some art

[Zaboem]

BL was probably added because of a strong demand for it. The same would happen with GL if enough people asked for it.

[Rodimus13]

OMG.... inks giving is getting us exposed to new readers. We had a sudden influx today. like... 4 or 5. Only 10 more till 100!

[unknown_user]

Late night at the office deploying patch code.

Ouch. This sounds incredibly painful. >_<
I hope they will pay you an additional bonus for this.

[unknown_user]

Me and my co-author realised, that we can't meet the deadline for our paper... but it's ok, we'll attend for another conference, when we will be ready. The good news - since the most of other urgent matters are done, I can take a rest.

Currently working on my inksgiving episode (quickly as possible) and gonna start prep on rewards right after! Just watching the coundown till it's time for the event to start is nerve-wracking but I hope everyone has a happy spring inksgiving!
