I am really mad at my boss right now. Three months ago I asked him for a Letter of Recommendation to send to a certificate school I want to attend. He still hasn’t given it to me.
The school, called the Center for Cartoon Studies, is entirely devoted to helping students become comic artists and helping them get into the industry. Having class for writing, drawing, and creating the stories and books, and classes explaining how to apply to an official publisher, indie publishers, and even helping plan for self-publishing. They cover everything from making the comics to explaining the kind of *financing* people need to understand to do well. I really want to attend, as not only does the school appeal to me, but so does the town it’s in.
Last week I got tired of waiting for it, so I mailed out my application without the letter. But I included a note say WHY it wasn’t there, and that I am still trying to get it, and that I’ll even deliver it to them IN PERSON once I finally *do* get it.
Today, I got an email from the school, saying that they needed the letter in order to add me to the student roster for attending this fall. I DON’T HAVE THE LETTER!!!
I could cry right now, because I REALLY WANT to go to this school and my boss (whether he means to or not) is basically holding me BACK from it. This is really hard on me.
