Some time ago, Pointy-Haired Boss (accurately) accused me of procrastinating on things to the point of letting them take care of themselves. I'm still not sure what in specific prompted that--I *do* work hard and focus on single tasks when I'm given them, vs. being handed fifty on-going projects at once, so if I put off the ones I can't get done ( Read more... )

So today would've marked my 11-year anniversary with Target... had I not quit. If I'd stayed, I'd prolly be making a whopping $15.50/hr [with differential if I stayed overnight] and would have significantly more savings [like, at least twice as much ( Read more... )

Killing it, I guess.

I finally got a real update from Falco, vs. seeing a partial header pop-up on her screen, after a casual conversation interrupted our "training" session* [as per usual] and when something about overtime came up, I mentioned that the temp agency says, "NO OVERTIME >=O ( Read more... )

Despite my best procrastinatory efforts [and crappy, corner-cutting "dramatic" lighting], I got the latest comic up--though it's still sort of grating, the selection of automated image hosts I have at my disposal [I'm hesitant to go back to Comicgenesis or whatever they're called now 'cause I'm fundamentally opposed to unscreened [by me] ads at the ( Read more... )

Yep, my fillings are definitely gone again. Not all of them, but enough that getting them done again will be expensive, unless my apparently CRAP dentist will redo them for free like that once ( Read more... )

I feel a little depressed that I couldn't finish my month's comic on time, but... still *technically* updated like I promised =p I will try my best to post the colour shortly [i.e. next few days, not next few hours], but I'm SO TIRED... =_ ( Read more... )

Despite the theme, I'm currently not doing a good job of "phoning in" my sketches, as I'm still barely making the deadline [which for me is "post for the day promptly at 12:01a" though that is "early" per the official Sketch Bet rules I am following nevertheless] and not building a queue as per what I was trying to do prior to starting back at work ( Read more... )

For all the cool [or at least HI-larious] things that happened yesterday, most of which I still want to write about but it feels awkward mentioning them now, that was all ruined when I cleaned up jurbur's cage... and he started bleeding ( Read more... )

How 'bout a fatuous one [depending on your mood]? I was, of course, browsing job listings and came across this one:Admiinistrative Assistant

Small, long established, gay-owned, Dupont Circle area CPA firm...
...I don't really qualify, given the requirements, but it struck me as odd to specify "gay-owned" in the listing. Not shocked or anything, ( Read more... )

Letter to unknown drummer, from Paul McCartney

This [Ryan Estrada's comment] is somewhat my mentality behind a lot of what I do, and why I'm a little annoyed but ultimately not THAT disappointed I keep getting rejected for things like Machine of Death [though I would've been proud to be part of a book that pissed off Glenn Beck[[really one of ( Read more... )
