I need to doodle more... I keep trying at work, but it's just not possible on most days.

I used to doodle very regularly at my old job, before I took on an upgrade to my position and lost any and all free time, and I don't know if I've forgotten how to stash the notebook, or if I just fell out of practice... my current job is a lot messier than the last one, and a paper notebook just isn't very practical here, so that does affect how easy it could be to jot down a pose...

I do sketch on my phone, occasionally, but I just don't have the same amount of free time, or the lack of responsibilities that being a grunt provides... once you perform above gruntliness, they expect things from you, and you can't just doodle...

@JulieSqveakaroo A few of my most macho coworkers (including my ex-and-still-sorta-manager) pride themselves in being 'weird' and 'kinda different' and 'sorta crazy' in an aggressive kind of way, a 'we're edgy!' vibe... but are alarmingly normcore.

I think of showing them my sketchbooks. My old chatlogs. Introduce them to beings made of light and sound and concepts, of sexes and sensations that cannot exist in threespace meatworld.

They'd fire me in fear.

The thought keeps me warm inside. n.n

@Momentrabbit @JulieSqveakaroo

They seem like the sort who aren't ecen ready for saturday morning cartoon levels of weird

@Momentrabbit I work with a few comic geeks and gamers... they'd get the references, at least peripherally... and I'm terrified that they'd recognize the style.
