TaskRabbit switched over to their new interface this past week, which from a customer standpoint, makes sense, but is potentially annoying to people like me who use it for freelance work. I won't know for sure until I upgrade my phone because the new app only runs on iOS7 and you can no longer use the web site to bid for jobs. I don't know if Android phones have the same issue. For now, I'm only annoyed. Thank goodness I didn't spend crazy money on my new laptop. I was thinking that I could go with the 4S, which I could maybe get for free, but I'm only going to have this same issue come up again when iOS8 is released in the fall. So the plan is to upgrade to a phone that can run iOS8 that doesn't cost too much money. It feels like a recursive issue, as the only luck I've had getting freelance recently is using TR. I need to spend money in order to make back the money I'll spend getting a new phone.
I have a couple of job ads I want to submit resumes for. I did have two queries from recruiters last week, but nothing came out of that. My linkedin page has been steadily getting hits, so maybe I'll get another query from there. I plan to visit the phone store on Monday, so hopefully the faster I get re-verified for TR, the faster I can get more freelance work.
I'm still making my way through the AE tutorials. I'll hopefully finish another one this afternoon. I am anxious to get to that mobile UI animation tutorial I found. I'll probably try to spend a few days at the library this week with my laptop. I also need to start a new drawing. Anatomy continues to kick my butt.
I sent out a bunch of artist queries this week, and I got a few replies. I still have a bit of a wait to find out if I'll receive any signed contracts this week. I did finally sign one artist to the new magazine assignment I got in May. I think I only need one more artist to close out 2014 on the other magazine, which will give me a bit of breathing room to focus on the new one. It's proving a bit more challenging to source art for the new one, since they have a specific look they're going for.
