A job building prisons




Monday

My hands hurting from practice, my fingers looked puckered and some of the tips are cracked and bleeding, I've been playing for several year and this is a new one for me. I worked with band-aids on them but in the band-aids pick up fuzz and smut and looked nasty quickly. "Hi, I'm Dirty McBumHands, I will be assisting you with you PC issues today." Worked on the Documentation template a little more and did a lot of support stuff. When to a Telecommuter P&P meeting. Ate lunch in the break room with the usual folks.

I downloaded the new Nine Iche Nails album, Ghosts, It was released under the creative commons license and the band posted it to Piratebay.org themselves. It was about 9 short songs all instrumental and repetitive. The songs pretty random and sound like song/riff-ideas that never really matured. I bet a lot of people will be remixed on the songs. I can picture some middle school goth kids doing some pretentious spoken-word stuff over them on youtube.

When to practice, Phillip was late. Scott and i guessed he would say "I'm Tired" 7 time and "I want to go home" 3 times. The actual Scott was 11 "tireds" and 1 "go-home". Where is the "i-am-going-to-hurt-you-with-this-music" intensity? the guys liked the Cheesy Bio I sent the from Google docs. We have a gig at a place called the sound vent in Lincoln Saturday. Scott worked on the lyrics for the "Islam part" on the full circle song and we playing it again and again.

A cool named Chuck from a metal band at the space called "The Darkest Sea" hung out for a while and talked about the band breaking up for a few months while he is in Florida working a job building prisons. Man, building prisons for a living, that sounds so depressing. That is too much like a setup for a twilight zone episode, getting locked up in a cell that you helped build. it would be like having kids!

Cheesey Bio Actions

Sunday

Penni worked to noon. I warmed up some left overs for Penni. I took a nap while Penni watched her table when off Ebay. I when to Practice and sat up the drums reorganized the practice room. . I talked to the guys about getting 28 x 24 inch bass drum and we measured my car door openings Picked up groceries on the way home from Practice worked on the band Bio for our booking guy. It is cheesy as hell.

Chuck in japan, Angry Mall Parents

Saturday





I Woke up early. My sleep schedule is still screwed up from the insanely early Fox news gig. I ordered 2 books from amazon, one of Linux programming and one on the Music Composition Program Rosegarden. When to concord mills and laughed at a few stressed out parents scream at each other about their kids.

"Take her for God's sake!" screamed the man pushing the stroller.

Chuck visited. We talked about his trip to japan and went for sushi 101. Returned and watched Naruto and crashed early

There was a long funny discussion on the correct usage of the work "Skank". work on dressing up a P&P template. I drove home and took a nap on the couch, Penni cook a nice pasta dinner. Some one bidded on Penni Table and the retracted in and Penni was all like SOB!!!! WTF? can they do that? I'm calling Ebay!" It was very cute. i love you her sooo much.

Hamtaro Logic 2008

Wednesday

Work went better, I made a concious effort not to get upset. I remembered my old Hamtaro logic thing were I would think about small simple nice things like "This Air conditioning feels good", "This chair is comfort", "This cup of ice and diet 7up is nice" to stop my brain from spinning itself apart like an unbalanced washing machine. it may sound ridiculous, but it works. the my coworker liked the mouse pad I made for him.



My co-workers keep saying "what's-a-matter, you look tired, did you practice to 2am last night?" I worry that they think that my quality of work is lower because I have a hobby the does not involve setting around the house watching reality shows, drinking alcohol, or screaming at my kids. In the past this did not bother me but now that I am married, their comments could associate me with my ex-co-worker that used to sleep on the toliet because his late nights gaming hobbie, thus flagging me as a risk and lowering my yearly evaluation, thus effecting Penni. I just to keep my mouth shut about practising and playing gigs. I also need stop showing off my ripped up hands.

Practice briefly last night, minus Phillip, we talked about our game play for Friday. I went on a long rant about how awesome the band Jucifer it. I found a little picture of phillip from his old job when his hair was really long and covered half his face like kid from mr meaty. Nice.

Decision 2008: If the people you dislike vote for A, vote for B.

Tuesday

Worked on the cash post database all day. I added an email function that notifies the manager of new issue notes. the CBO wants added to the share point project, I learned about it as i was being asked support questions to make it happen. Change control? Pfffff! A teller at my credit union was shot today in a robbery. During lunch, I walked by the bank, listening to a Podcast. 4 news vans were hogging the sidewalk and half the road. Freakin' Pigs. I felt pretty terrible all day. wheeeee!

Monday

Cleaned up the practice space. Practiced, a guy who does booking came to heard us. he gave good ideas to us about merch and what not. My hands were all blistered at the end of practice, i guess it was all the humidity(???)
