I gotta few comments on my last post encouraging me to post again, so I am. Actually, I'm making myself late for work to post! Ok, not really. I have the day off cause it rained last night so everything at work is quite muddy! Yay! Ok, yay for now, but suck next week when the paycheck comes back somewhat short of hours.
So when I sat down at my computer, I typed in "rainy day" into iTunes in honor of today, and 3 songs came up, Gordon Lightfoot's 'Rainy Day People', The Carpenters 'Rainy Days and Mondays' and Bob Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women #12 and 35. So that was fun, today didn't get me down, cause now I have time to get stuff done and even go to the darkroom!
Ok, so heres a quick catch-up on my life. Um, if amount of campfires attended is a measure of one's quality of life (which it should be) my life is awesome. I've been at 2 in like 5 days!! Very high awesome factor. Oh, and I've realized that Mondays hold a simular design to roller coasters. They go up and down, and make you wanna throw up. Monday morning I met with my landlord to go over some stuff, and found out that he only wants three of us living here from now on. So, not cool, cause that means one of the guys who planned on living here can't, and we each gotta pay like $50 more a month for rent (we're workin on presenting an appeal to that decision). But, he is sending an appraiser over today to look at the house to see what its worth if I wanna buy it, so thats good (and nerve racking). And and soon as I got back to work from that meeting I ran into my boss (thats for you, Dane, hahahaha) and told him I'd like to talk about my future at Greenworld. Ok, so not that dramatic, but I did ask him what I should be expecting from the job in the next year or so, cause he hasn't told me anything about that. I was hoping to move to design late this year, stay on parttime over the winter and be a fulltime designer next season. Well, I guess Larry wasn't thinking along those same lines. Cause he said that I'd be doin the same thing I am now (workin on the yard) for the rest of the season, and probably next summer with the possibility of some small design work on the side if they needed it. Needless to say, I was a bit more than unhappy about said news, cause it means I still really have no direction that I'm heading in the short term, not to mention no steady reliable fun job. So I spent most of the day in a bit of a funk cause of the rent thing, and the job thing, and just the fact that it was Monday. But, then I got home, and found out my roomies were goin golfing, so I tagged along and had a ton of fun. And then people came over later that night, and it turned into a mini-party and Taz came and brought some very very good Scotch for sampling. Scotch is my new favorite drink, its increadible! Of course, its also very expensive for a bottle, so it'll be a while til I actually invest in my own. But, yeah, smoky taste, very full-bodied (if that makes sense), strong, but yet smooth. A sipping drink by all means, not something to shoot straight down. Hurray for discovering awesomeness!
So thats an extremely small sampling of what I've been goin thru the last few days. I should get goin to run some errands I desperately need to get done. Thank goodness I have the day off!! I really need the time for stuff!
