Preparing for the war that might never come

So in the summer season, everybody here does there own thing in between possible jobs. You'd think that would be great! And for the most part..yeah its good. But I still can't help but worry that I'm left out of the loop once again; do they not need me? Am I not reading their minds correctly? I spend my days leveling up my skills (2d art, 3d modeling, animation and all that, After Effects etc...) and working on other things, preparing for a hopefully busy season soon but I still can't help being paranoid that I'm gonna come into work and get the big GTFO USELESS PIXEL FUCKER! stamp on my forehead.

I know I should be working on my portfolio just incase but I don't even know what to do anymore. When i was leaving college I was trying to get a job in 3d modeling, but things have changed so quickly that now my skills are useless to movie or game companies. I don't have any obvious talents that are hireable in the mainstream. Update my portfolio? With what?! Do what?!!

I just keep telling myself that I have to hang on as the major bread winner for two more years...two more years until my fiance gets his damn degree and takes over as the main provider...then i can really focus. Work on getting into the novel/graphic comic business or at least do commissions more. Pipe dream I know...

I keep going to the gym but it's not doing much; sure I get some stress out but if anything I've gained weight.

So here I am, like my guy says, "prepare for the war that might never come!"

CS3 is epic! If you don't do a lot of work in 3d or mixing with After Effects it might not be worth it but I love all the new changes they put in.
