so, i'm kinda ambivalent about the work situation for now, i didn't get the promotion, but my boss did agree to get the other owner off my ass, so now we're back to the pre-May status quo, which is acceptable for now.
unfortunately, things are really stupid at the moment, the other owner has cracked-down on overtime, because he thinks it is a waste of money, but as he is not familiar with the sign industry or specifically, how our company makes money (lightning fast turnaround and low prices) this is putting a huge crimp in our workflow as people are being sent home when the work order bins are overflowing... all so they can save less than a thousand bucks a week... man if i told you guys how much we did in sales per/week in relation to this number....
things are just starting to feel crazy there, we need some leadership and stability and its getting harder and harder for me to focus on the sign shop when this fucking comic im working on is whispering all of these sexy words in my ear and reminding me of what my true calling is...
ah, but i digress....
my friend jess just called me and we talked for forty minutes. i havent talked to her in over six months. ever since she mailed me a box full of tastycakes and fishnets as a surprise thank you gift for hosting her when she came to visit from florida last year. jess and i met freshman year at art school in beverly. i was a brooding, melancholy, romantic type with a girlfriend six hours away. jess decided to take care of me and feed me and drive me around town and listen to Bad Religion with me to cheer me up if she thought i was feeling blue. she is also one of the most beautiful girls ive ever seen in real life. we were never a thing we just immediately had a nice sibling like relationship. every couple of months, we catch up on our disasterous relationships as only two cynical hopeless romantics can. jess is at least 60% of why i think girls are as awesome as i think they are.
and anyway, speaking of awesome girls, palo is going to be here in a few hours...
im excited, can you tell?
a snippet of dialogue from yesterday (but it couldve been any day this week or last week):
me: have i said yet today that i want to kiss palo
ThePants: no.
me: i want to kiss palo.
ThePants: i know.
and right now, i'm so excited, that i'm gonna listen to OVERKILL really fucking loud and do some push-ups and sit-ups...
and then i'm gonna take a shower and use soap AND shampoo...
Misguided youth the bitter truth
Nothing left to chance...
Fallen angel seeking adventure, new romance.
How dare you touch you take the soul
Of one so pure so... white..!
The violation tragedy
Took all she had that... night!!!
Rotten! to the core
I have got a secret hidden behind my eyes.
A violation tragedy! of violence hate and lies.
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more.
Accusations nominal! fall rotten to the core.
Rotten! to the core
To the core!
Rot rot, rot rot, rot
Rot rot, rot rot, rotten! rotten! rot!
To the core!!!
OVERKILL, best band on the fucking planet. I'm exaggerating, but still, they rule!!!

Are you going to InFest or Hootinany? I don't know if I can handle both. I'm too much of an old fart for all day festivals.
