Really sorry to hear about the impending lay-off. That must be worrisome. Best of luck with the job hunt.

In May of 2010 My job of 10+ years was outsourced to India. On November 1, 2010 I started a job with a Fortune 300 company making 1 1/2 times what I was making at my old job. I fucking love my new job. Getting outsourced turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me.
Keep your head up, my friend. Opportunities will present themselves if you are patient...

Well, it looks as though I'm going to lose my job. I can expect to be laid off sometime within the next four weeks, I was told today.
I'm freaking out.

Wow! You noticed already! Huh. I didn't think any one would notice. confused Umm.... I was in a purging kind of mood? I also went through my friend list but you will notice that you survived that. 
Uh oh. 4 weeks though is a lot of notice. Will they give you severance as well? You can find something! You can do it! It is providence that life is making you look for a new job, something better and more fulfilling.

No way! That's so shit. Is there nothing you can do?
So I spent the weekend babysitting house guests from Detroit. I barely got them out the door, they were so in love with Los Angeles! Now I can go back to work on music.

What a good friend you are. I'm sure your guests appreciated the hosting.
Just got back from the Lake Arrowhead area. Lotta crystal meth types up that way. Still, I had a good time fixing things, making campfires and cooking red meat....grrr! I'm a mountain man!
Now back to reality and being me.

Going to see Prince tonight at the Forum. Don't ask me if I'm gonna party like it's 1999. However, I WILL party like it's 1984, and I'm back in high school and have to sneak in an Old Milwaukee or two.

I have to get it shot first.
President Obama is coming to my studio lot today, so I get to leave work early and have a sooner-than-anticipated start to the holiday weekend. Woot! Thanks Barry!

thats awesome!
In an effort to fix my recent anti-social behavior, Thursday night I'm going to see Prince at the Forum, then go off to the mountains for Easter weekend.
Oh wait, that's only one night of being social. Fail.

Man. If you are anti social, then I am what... agoraphobic? A pariah? A recluse??
Ack!
Ack!

I had multiple activities happening this weekend, plenty of chances to socialize and have fun. I didn't attend any of them. Am I really becoming anti-social? How can I fix this?
Beethoven and vintage LA architecture are on tap for tonight.

It's okay to be antisocial once in a while. It helps you remember to think your own thoughts.

I'm saving that for my first set.
