I am SOOOO burned out at work I cannot function anymore. I haven't made an attempt to sell shit in the past week. I am managing a department that does more then half the stores sales by myself, basically with no authority to punish those who suck.
I did meet with a family friend who has some "In's" here in Nashville... Read More
Update Time:
Went to the NAMM show (National Association of Music Merchants). There I realized how big of a dork I am. There were a lot of cool gear but who did I flock to? First, it was Tom V Jones (aka TV Jones) He and I talked about pickups for about an hour when I mentioned I was looking for a pickup that... Read More
Ha, I think I'm insulted! And actually, I didn't know who it was, I had to click on "properties" to get a clue. But unlike a lot of young 'uns, I do know who Winger is!
Actually had a day off today. Went to go movie hopping to see the Hulk and Happenings. The Incredible Hulk was awesome!!! Soo much better than the one they did a couple of years ago. This one seemed to be more true to the TV show, which there were a lot of references to. Lou Ferigno, sad walking away music, the green eyes, etc. Happenings... Read More
Sounds like you had a great day off!! Thanks again SO MUCH for the smash hands. They're sitting beside my desk as I type this, waiting for someone to piss me off.
Even though it's Winger WEdnesday they were absolutely and by far the worst and most stereotypical of the hair bands. My hatred of hair bands is endless.
I'm feeling much better now. Thank you all for the well wishes. Let me explain what happened. 2 nights in a row I had really messed up dreams. Dreams about problems to solve that are impossible to solve. They usually are short, jerky images strung together in a way that makes no sense but still following the same theme. If I lost you let me... Read More
Thanks for the validation on the creep! My friend kept saying he was harmless and everything was no big deal, but I kept seeing red flags everywhere! But I know my perceptions might be colored by my online dating experiences. And you are not a creep!
Sucks about your dreams. Sounds like they've stopped (since you said you're feeling better)?
Guitar Center is retarded. I tried to sell something to a customer of mine from back in Baltimore and I couldn't. Why? Because GC is retarded. I have done it at least 20 times before and now it is a no-no. Corporate also has a knack of rolling out a new way we are to do business, we do it, it fails, then we go... Read More
More cool video -- this time I'm just a blink on the far RIGHT side. That's the drag about being a cymbalista. No one shoots footage of us! Drummers get all the glory. Can't wait to get hooked back up to my tenor. :sigh:
Well, I keep finding jobs that I am qualified for but I cannot get an employer to call me back. I hate sending my resume out through email. It is so impersonal. Let me... Read More
1) I say hold out for what you want jobwise. Don't settle. I've done that before and it only leads to a life of "this sucks". And think of it this way -- do you really want to work for someone who doesn't return calls? Naaah.
2) Pooped in a cooler -- that's a headline worthy of the tabloids!
3) I've been thinking about your 30th. I figured you'd have some kind of party that I could secretly crash. But now I've kinda blown the surprise so.......
4) What?!? I thought you were actively trying to date more. Just not finding the right someone?
5) I need pictures of the new do. Seriously.
Thanks for the PM the other day. Life is weird right now in big ugly ways but I'm hangin' in there. I just self medicate by working too much.
Dude. You're missed. I heard rumors of you swinging back this way for a visit. Is this true??
I agree with the above poster's comments: don't settle- either for a job or girlfriend. You deserve the best. If you'd have pooped in a cooler, I think as cool as you are on my list, you'd have gotten cooler (pun intended).
Well kids, been workin a ton and finally had a couple of days off. I didn't have a great month (aka didn't make much money) But I am getting promoted as of May 1st. Yay? no. Basically it is more work for not much more money. I still wanna get the F out of there but I might as well be the best while I... Read More
Thanks for the dino link. When my schedule settles down a bit I'll sit and play it. I have literally lived out of a suitcase for the last five days and I've hit the ground running, of course. SOOOO much to catch up on. Stay tuned for my next blog and it'll explain what the hell I did with my amazing weekend. So surreal.....
Not much goin on. Work kinda sucks right now. Basically, because I'm about the only one there that really knows the gear, I get stuck fixing all the displays and rewiring rigs. BS!!! It's like I am being punished for knowing more than my co-workers.
So it is Saturday night and I am at home messin around on the internets. Boy, am I exciting. I... Read More
Yep, you always get punished for being better than your coworkers. That's the way it works! I stayed home and went to bed early last night - it was a too busy, exhausting week, and I knew I'd be getting up early to go into work today. Why do you like the Predators?
Oh, and I'd have to answer your question as what celebrity DON'T I hate the most. And even then I'd have to do some research to answer your question since I really don't keep up with them (I dislike them that much) . . .
Hmmm, forgot the celebrity question.... my bad. I think it would have to be a "category" of celebs rather than an individual. I detest the whole rehab hag phenomenon. Lindsey, Nicole, Britney, ou get the idea.... Second place would probably go to celebs who use reality shows to workout their personal issues. Bret Michaels, Flava Flave, Scot Baio....Puh-leeez!
I hear you about work and being the on-location specialist, as it were. No rest for the weary. I've brought home charts every night this week and have been up late typing my ass off trying to keep up. I'll be here on the computer for at least another 6-7 hrs today getting my shit together for Monday. During marathon charting sessions I tend to keep my yahoo chat open so pop in and say hi if you'd like: danapalooza65
Hang in there, Mr. Model Employee! Have an excellent week.
Sorry about the goofy late night post last night. I get a little stoooooopid when there's been a wee bit too much to drink. Hey, it was derby night...what can I say?
Sucks that work is so shitty. Sounds like you need a vacation. I'm glad the mail is cheering you up at least.
And actually, I didn't know who it was, I had to click on "properties" to get a clue. But unlike a lot of young 'uns, I do know who Winger is! 
And you are not a creep! 
I...
