Today Jess started her first day at Speedshape, and I think it went pretty well. Even though she went through all the same crap I went through on my first day. The awkward elevator ride up, the uncomfortable lunch hour, meeting of new people, the sexual harassment video. But even so, she’s fitting right in and everyone really likes her. Can’t really ask for much more than that. And even though I’ve only been here for 3+ months now, It makes me feel like I’ve been here for years though seeing her start her first day. It’s cool. I like showing her the ropes.

Anyways, I can’t shake this feeling of just feeling creatively stunted. I mean, I come in and work on a ton of different shots. But they’re all cars, and they all have pretty much the same comp’ing issues. And it’s kind of put me into autopilot. Leaving me feeling very uninspired, and atrophic. I need to do some of my own stuff on the weekends, because I don’t want to loose touch with my creative side. Maybe by writing this down it’ll kick me in my ass to do something creative. Some drawings, mattes, cg shit, something…anything…

Alright, back to work. Got to finish up this shot before Jess and I carpool home. It’s nice to have company on the drive home…
