Okay, its a few hours later. I've calmed down a bit. Man, I was so angry before. I tend to let things stew inward. But I definatly had to because at said job, I cannot just go off and swear and get it out. I'll likely get shit canned for my outward expression.
I've narrowed it down to two things. Yeah, I was taking things a bit too personal. I tend to do that. Thats where I messed up. BUT, I still feel as though I was being talked to like a child. That, I have a problem with. But I am not opposed to working through it. I don't "hate" anyone. Why should I? In a way, she was just doing her job. But its HOW she's doing it that rubbed me the wrong way.
Am I quitting? I'd say no. But thats not to say that if I walked into Video Land right now and they offered me $7.00 an hour to work there, that I wouldn't jump at that in half a minute. In reality, I like everyone at East Pickard. They are alright by me. There are a couple people who rub me the wrong way, but luckily, they run different shifts or areas than I do, so I don't have to deal with them.
Folks, its not too much suffering for me to get through. I keep thinking to the future, when I've got an extra $1,000 to take with me to Wiz World Chicago in a couple months, or the new recording equipment for IDIOTHEAD, or printing my new books early, or going to the big SAN DIEGO CON for the first time next year. Its gonna be totally worth it. I just have to keep that thought firmly in place.
Maybe I was tired. It is rough working a 11-5pm, and then 5pm-4am. then back at it again 5 days in a row. But I get pumped up working. I never get wore out. Sore, but not run down. I want to have fun doing it. I want to joke and jive with everyone around. I'm just that kinda guy. So, why get all bent out of shape?
So, once again, I'm letting this one go. I hope that I can run into her and we can both apologize and be on the same page. Its not a big McDeal. And I can move on. Problem solved, next issue.
On the bright side, after I got to my newspaper job, I printed my commercial job right away, did a few ads and then I had time to sit on the clock and draw a couple new pages for Pleasant Life #1. I started inking in the camera room while bullshitting with my pals back there. It was a good day then. So, I got some drawing in. And I will be doing more this weekend. Just clear my head and get back in the right frame of mind.
Thanks for reading my rants, raves and general bollicks. Its a fun ride to see isn't it?
San Diego 2007. Its gonna be worth it.
Luvs, T
