FRIDAY---
I wake up with a stiff neck and I head to work, listening to U2 as loud as possible to keep me in a good mood. I get there and do very little. The corporate big wigs come in and stay for around three hours, basically telling us the store sucks and everything needs to move and change. Yay. After that, I discuss with my boss me stepping aside from being a manager officially on October 1st and how its going to go down. I think she was slightly disappointed, but I really don’t care at this point.
After sticking around till 5pm, I head home. I call the wife who orders me on a Taco Bell run. With Ted in tow, I score her a nacho Bell Grande and hard shell, and drop it off to her. Then Ted and I go to Long Johns to score some food of our own.
After 7pm or so, we head back and I mess around on deviantart and myspace. Then I start sketching then do a pinup for this secret thing I will reveal at a later time. I email a pic of what I did to those involved and wait for a reply. Meanwhile, I listen to last nights Late Night Lounge, which I bailed on, while sketching more and doodle some more drawings. I also research some pinup pics that I got hired to do for commissions for next week. Also, work on an ad for freelance gigs in the area.
Around 10:30, Brian Maze calls and we shoot the shit for a while. I also draw and marker a He-man pinup that I end up not being too happy with. I end up dropping to bed around midnight, falling asleep to Scooby Doo.
SATURDAY—
I wake up early and head into work. I know I gotta stay as long as possible to make up hours, but I know its not gonna happen. I do manage to stay busy, organizing Dvds, cleaning the backroom, etc. Finally around 5pm, I head home.
Kelly and I decide to go out by ourselves for a mini “date” alone. We go to Pondo and window shop at Best Buy. We get back home around 8pm and I shoot emails out to people. Kelly watches jewelry and then we lay down to sleep around midnight.
SUNDAY—
I get up and work a 7:30am-3pm. To my surprise, I find that one of my beloved co-workers has quit without notice, which screws up the schedules for the next 3 weeks and makes me juggle things around a bit. It really bums me out because I liked her and I dunno why she would leave me in the dust like that. I could understand her frustrations and why she left, but still… I felt like me and others there were punished by her sudden departure. Not cool. She could have at least said goodbye.
I scan the paper and find something “very interesting.” (more later maybe).
I head home, stopping off for 2 liters, milk and bread, and then take a two-hour nap. The wife comes home from work and wants to order pizza. We do and watch parts of DAWN OF THE DEAD and BATMAN FOREVER on TV. Then we opt to watch Psycho 2-3 on DVD, as we’ve never watched them before. Despite not being as deep and awesome as the Hitchcock original, I found that I quite liked them. Especially the second one. The third one I can forget. I heard the 4th is shit, but I have yet to watch it.
I take some pics and email them to this person for a potential job offer. (more on that later) I also pop into the MIGHTYSABO show for a quick 30 minutes to listen in and play some NAME THAT TUNE 80’s Games.
Then around 1am, I pass out watching Scooby Doo with the wife.
