Backsliding into the coolest day ever
Last night was fun times. Happy Befday to Bef, saluted with lots of shots. Probably too much, but I was fully capitalizing on the fact that I wasn't driving. Besides, those shots led to drunk ass karaoke. I haven't stopped believing. Maybe next time, I'll school some mothers with a rousing chorus of Rock Lobster.
Woke up this morning, still drunk and the cliche pounding head. Running on 4 hours of alcohol induced sleep, I got to go take pictures of middle schoolers. Not portraits, but candids. I thought this would be cool, with more freedom to my creativity and work, but I soon learned a painful truth. When dealing with them one on one during portraits, kids that age are fine. Get them together in a lunch room though, and it makes me wish I had a patent on a fully automated kidney puncher.
The school was put on lockdown at one point, while drug dogs roamed the hallways. We were supposed to stay inside a classroom. but instead I walked around with three girls who were my middle school tour guides. After getting chewed out by a number of teachers, we settled in a room for about 20 minutes before they let up the lockdown. I resumed my photo duties, but soon heard over the school's PA "Graham from Lifetouch, please report to the principal's office" 25 damn years old, and I still get managed to get called to the office. The tour guides didn't understand why I was laughing so hard.
Now, I get to go to work for Cin. From what I've been told, McFadden's is the worst yuppie bar in town, so I'm sure it will be awesome! I have a hard time imagining a place worse than the Pavillion, but we shall see.
