Ever so slowly I am getting my life where I want it. I've been out from under the thumb of religious tyranny for enough years that I am almost a regular person now. Far from normal ( or sane) I have my own place and good paying job. I'm still lacking a girlfriend but that will change with time, now that I've begun to slowly feel out the local scene here. My work hours kinda suck though. As much as I love working night shift. It makes going out a apan in the ass. I can't go to a normal club... I don't/can't dance, and I tend to stand out in clubs. Maybe I'm just really antisocial. Come to think of it, that why I gave up on bartending.
Hell, I wish I was still bouncing at Gold Club. That was a sweet gig.I can't think of too many jobs that are better that being the bouncer at a quiet strip club. Lets see... very few fights, decent pay, free drinks, free dances on my days off, and a hot dancer for a girlfriend.... Yeah, I miss my old job
Now I'm stuck in the hell that is Gibson. Ya know, when I started I loved it. That quickly degenerated into I don't care one way or another, it's a job. I've been there since January of this year. I'm still waiting on my 90 day eval+raise, and the whole plant is waiting for our yearly raise we shoulda gotten 2 months ago. The guy running the plant, who isn't there nights thank God, is a consummate prick and I can only assume his IQ hovers around room temperature.
His great new plan is to raise production to 5oo units a day, but at the same time we are still short hella people throughout the plant AND they raise hell about any overtime. Did I mention he can't add? He seems to think it costs them less to make me come in Saturday and work a half day (4hrs) than it does to let me stay over the 45 minutes- 1 hour it would have taken me to get the quota finished. I wouldn't mind the overtime but Saturday OT is day shift. So I get off work at around 1am, home by 2am, get home, nap 2-3 hours and then get up and try to stay awake long enough to get there by 7am.
FUCK THIS SHIT.
As soon as I can find a part time job that I can work school around I'm dropping Gibson and heading back to school. Shit I finished high school when I was 16, I've had enough of a break. Time to hit up Nashville Tech or maybe Vol State and restart my networking and IT training I dropped to move back here.
Besides Co-Eds are always fun to be around, even If I don't stand a chance.
At least I know I can get the tattoo I want done. The Trumpets of Jericho shall be mine!!!
I can't even guess what it's going to cost me. Hell, all things considered it will most likely take a couple of sessions to get it done. I doubt my skin will take that much ink in one session.
Depending on how it goes, I'm considering getting the SG logo somewhere. Free lifetime membership is always nice, plus I think it makes a good looking tat from the pics I've seen of others with it. Unless I for some reason can't stand the pain of getting inked. But then again if I could stand 'donating' plasma 2 time a week for a couple of years I think I can stand the tiny tat needles.
That reminds me, I actually had a guy at work point to the scars on my arms and ask me if I used to do dope........ I just laughed. He got all pissy and demanded to know what was so funny, so I asked him if he had ever seen the needles people used to shoot up. When he said he had I asked how the hell he thought those tiny little fuckers translated to scars the diameter of a ballpoint pen. It was priceless, he got the look on his face like a little kid who had fallen off their bike and couldn't understand how such a thing happened.
I tell you, I'm a pretty tolerant person, but I'm beginning to agree with George Carlin, We are saving waaaay too many lives with safety. One line that stick with me is "What ever happened to, The kid who swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own?"
Here are a few quotes by others who feel the same way I do. You might recognize a few names
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Albert Einstein
"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." Rich Cook
Well this has been quiet a long winded rant. I know it is disjointed and rambling. This happens when I have a shitty day,get mad and listen to angry music while watching violent movies, and have paper (or a blank blog) in front of me. Sorry you had to suffer through it..
If you have read this far you are either a friend who really cares, or are just insanely bored.

Oh, and I noticed in your journal you work at Gibson. Do you know a guy named Phillip (he would be nearly covered in tattoos, scar on his arm, kinda short, with dark hair and I think a lip ring)? Anyway, he worked at Gibson for a while and he's also really good friends with everyone at Lone Wolf. The best way to get the best deal is to know someone that's really good friends with Ben and the guys.
I would think that's a pretty good return customer though.
The zx6r is a Kawasaki Ninja. Ye olde engine is a 636. Yup, I
I appreciate the (almost) offer of your photography skills. I've done test shots with a few people and I think I have found the right one for the job. My set idea is a technical nightmare, though, so I'll just have to see how it goes.
