First off, with nearly 8,000 messages and 5 notes, I need to clean out my inbox
I managed to survive finals, and owe a huge thank you to DaxDaxWolfy for her incredible help with my JavaScript final! I've somehow managed to keep my 4.0GPA, so that's amazing.
I've now survived two weeks at my new job... and, honestly, I'm not sure how much longer I can stay there. By title I am a Web & Graphics Designer, in practice I am someone who is watching over a store I know nothing about (Football and Golf autographed memorabilia) trying to answer questions the customers have, copy and pasting products and information off partner websites into a program that posts them onto the website for me (so, basically, even my technologically- challenged father could even do that), I make occasional banners for the site, but most of my time is spent on the phone with the boss's son being yelled at and belittled. I'm working Monday-Friday and I've got basically an hour to an hour and half after work to chill before I have to go to bed so I can get a semi-decent amount of sleep before going back. And then, when the weekend rolls around, I'm so worn thin that I basically lay in bed watching HGTV and playing Animal Crossing trying not to have a panic attack every time my phone rings or my text chime goes off (because yes, the boss's son calls and text even when I'm off the clock. Not to say I pick up when I'm not at work because I just don't need that when I'm off as well). The only reason I haven't quit is because my great aunt and cousin work there as well, so I can't just leave and never have to deal with anyone from there ever again :/ My goal is to get a car and a decent phone and leave, but I've been hearing rumors that the local horse track is hiring designers, so if I get that hob, that would be a very good reason for leaving this scummy job
I've got one more semester before I graduate... again. Next semester should be lower on the stress scale than the recently ended semester, but since this job is not at all what it was promised to be, I'll have to go through an internship on top of the classes and whatever job I end up having (though if I'm still at the sports store and not the track I will more than likely have to quit. I can't deal with all of that bullshit on top of classes and interning).
I'm considering selling some of my Shedus and leaving Tokotas. There are, of course, several shedus I will never sale, but if there are any you are interested in, let me know.
I've got a renewed interest in fawnlings, but not a whole lot of time to devote to them, sadly. I usually end up doodling on scrap paper while on the phone at work, so I do have some decent sketches of Shaan, Izra-Il, and Sisu I'm hoping I can do something with.
I hope all of you are having a great summer!

The End of a Hiatus? | Do I owe you anything?
Hello once again! It's been a long time since I've been on this account.
I've tried going through my messages, but I ended up just deleting a lot of them, sorry. I've not touched my notes yet, I'll get to those soon.
So, where have I been? The long and short of it is that after that awful experience last summer I had no art inspiration for a long time, and luckily I've been busy with my classes, video making, internship, and my spare free time has been spent playing video games to try and destress.
But I'm really hoping to get active here again. I'm not sure where I'll start, but I think I might try and sell off a lot of my characters I ju

How long have you been on DeviantArt?
My oldest account says 7 years, but I was creeping on the site long before then, I just didn't have reliable internet access to make an account.
What does your username mean?
RoseThornStables... When I joined with my KwehCat (https://www.deviantart.com/kwehcat) account, a lot of the people I was watching started turning to HARPG. I wasn't sure what to name my stable when I first joined, but roses had always been my favorite flower, so Rose Thorn came about ;P KwehCat comes from me being a Final Fantasy nerd, so the chocobo's 'Kweh!" combined with the shortened form of my middle name, Cat.

I have officially quit my job.
I feel like all summer, all I've done is post things like "I got (another) job!" followed by a complaint about how off things were. Well, I quit the sciency graphics job after I was told the delete over a month's worth of work and redo it all within 5 days, and that client refuses to pay me for my time.
On Thursday, at the big in-store graphics and web design job for.... get this: my great aunt yelled at me accusing me of being a devil worshipper for listening to Coldplay, Lindsay Stirling, and The Doors at my desk in front of customers. My last day was supposed to be this Friday, but I just couldn't put up with that any longer. My great aun

Yikes, that doesn't sound like fun.
Completely agree with Kiy...that or, if they don't stop even after that, quit. Jobs like that rarely ever get better
