So, there was that whole construction thing that came out of nowhere, made me a few grand and then went down in miserable flames.
Spent a lot of time doing nothing.
And a piercing gig falls into my lap,
yet again with a complete tool for a boss, who has apparently been piercing for years. It really doesn't show when you watch his half ass sterilization procedures and read his useless aftercare sheet. The guy actually recommends using antibiotic ointment on a piercing if it's become infected. And a number of other assinine methods for having a severe infection take place. Yeah, there's a lot I could bitch about in this shop. There's no hot water. The floors in the bays are never mopped. and more...
But I've decided to stick around so I can get some shop cred. Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how working for a guy who is dangerously incompetent will make me more likely to be hired by other shops in the future.
Well, the misery was coming on in big heaping shovelfuls, then I got an incredibly enticing offer this guy I met at the shop who's planning on opening a shop right on the strip in fort myers beach (the place the chuckle heads go for spring break). The guy's got some deep pockets to pull from and tons of cred in the business, so I might find myself in a shop where the owner knows more than I do and I can actually learn something from him.
But I'm waiting for it to fall apart, like things usually do.
Yeah, I'm biking 20 or so miles to work every morning.
Putting the flames back in my hair.
still celibate, though that'll probably end soon in a drunken haze after Ft Myers gets packed with spring breakers.
Found a sweet punk rock bar.
Well, now I'm going to sleep.
