Here I am..
Here is a quick rundown...
WORK:
The company as a whole did away with my SPECIALIST position but I kept my hourly rate. Now I am 40 hrs a week instead of 50. Is that good.. to me.. NO. That is 2 hrs in the day I get toward my personal time that I haven't a clue what to do with and 2 hrs from my work time that I cannot be productive.
My department manager quit and now the quiet guy in PAINT is my new department manager. Will I go to him for issues with Crazy.. NO. He doesn't know how to handle someone who disappears on "breaks" and doesn't tell anyone. This issue caused me to get 45 minutes of OT already.. not good.. I get written up. I don't care who fucking knows at work how upset I am about this. Hopefully things change.
Speaking of Change - rumor has it I am going to another department as a SPECIALIST and it will mostly consist of me being at a desk all day. We will see.. keep you posted.
PERSONAL:
This is a short one. I kind of got bitchy with Smiles on the phone the other day. Needless to say I am just frustrated due to the lack of results. I hate being in limbo but that is what I get for doing what I am doing. Roommate is doing fine. Cats are doing fine. I am a little insane but everyone knew that. Saw my ex the other day .. in passing.. and the passenger in my truck had a good laugh.
I have 2 extra hours each day that I haven't a clue what to do with. Anyone who knows me KNOWS I like to keep busy. The next subject, while time consuming, still doesn't even occupy a large quantity of my time.
BAND:
My Wednesdays have opened up now that SWYRL has disbanded due to whatever reasons they want to give. Personally.. I think it is the TATTOO CURSE - get a tattoo of your favorite band and within 6 months - POOF - gone. Yep 3 of their fans got tattoos and it has been chaos ever since. I have heard other theories on the who, why, when, where, what and how of it all. I will miss the guys, I love them dearly, but I knew walking in last Wednesday that something wasn't right. I ALWAYS go with my gut feelings and they always pan out.
I have been working with another band -
DOLLARHYDE - to get gigs and putting their
acoustic site together on MYSPACE. It is shaping up to be a good investment of time and effort. 4 hrs after the site went up, they got a hit from a record company for a compilation cd. WOOT!! Trois (troy) called me that morning to tell me, I almost fell down the stairs because I started jumping in excitement and joy. Also, I will be doing some photos of Dollarhyde and
VIRGIL KAIN for their sites.
PROMOTIONS:
Dollarhyde will be opening for Virgil Kain at
KC MULLIGANS in N. Charleston on March 15th and April 28th.
Ok.. that is about it. Enough for you to show I am still alive? I hope so. :-p
Oh.. and yes I am on MYSPACE.. you'll find me easy enough without me telling you.
