First Day of my contract job

Testing Artrage VItae

Today I opened the floodgates and the new adventurers began flowing into the building. The first week is the easiest as the newcomers adjust to their surroundings. It gets real starting with week two. Not everyone will make it to the end. How many will survive? Only time will tell.

Besides my job, I’ve been watching some Artrage videos and I’m feeling drawn back into it. The oil brushes, in the hands of real painters, are convincing. Now, it’s up to me to become a real painter. That should be a cinch for me because my mommy always told me I could do anything I want to do. Unfortunately, she didn’t anticipate that the things I would want to do take thousands of hours of practice to become proficient, and a lifetime of dedication to become really good. It’s that old Ars longa. Vita brevis thing again.

But really, isn’t it great to pursue a goal that is so grand that cannot be mastered in a single lifetime?
