Nothing. And that's the problem. The company is an alarming state. They're losing money and everyone keeps doing whatever it is they're doing. A couple of weeks ago I wrote an email to my boss and one of my colleagues and told them about a situation I had just witnessed. My colleague got mad at me for writing the email but my boss planned a meeting so we could figure out what to do about the whole situation. Then the meeting get post poned a couple of days, then one more day - now it's been post-poned to August so I don't really think anyone is taking any of this seriously.

I'm not saying I have the key to saving the company, but no one knows what they're doing, the briefings I receive in order to do my job properly are so vague. Most of the time they just copy/paste whatever the client has written them, so as soon as I ask a question about my briefing they don't know the answer to it. So I'm constantly saving their asses by asking all the questions they SHOULD have asked.

Anyway, I'm gonna play hooky tomorrow and Friday because I've got some freelance stuff that's more important than this bullshit.

that story was highly arousing up until the word "bro."

As I was driving home from an evening grocery run a female pedestrian stopped on the sidewalk for several seconds and appeared to wave directly at me as I drove past. Then I noticed she was walking with some shirtless bro. I had no idea who she was, but she probably thought I was someone she knew. Not so problematic tho, as it was just completely random.

 

Shoulda blown her a kiss dogg. Then your FWP would've been a lot more interesting.

Too bad I had squat for reaction time...

FWP is lower back pain, plus my phone battery ran out before I could take some sweet photos on my hike today. Went up to an abandoned mine in the mountains almost 60 miles north of where I live.

just received a soundcloud email from an unknown , first time for everything:

Hey,

BarnettMassey12115 sent you a message:

"Smart and "very" Naughty.........:)))) muah ...wonderful (LINK)

^ I'd ignore that shitz. Seems like SC has attracted more and more spam bots the last couple of years.

MUAH

it was usagi all along!

:))))

I kind of want to watch Supperman vs. Bathman just for the pure fanboy schadenfreude of it but it's quite a time/effort investment relative to the payoff (near nil).

one of my best friends is laid up in hospital cos some stupid driver swerved into him without shoulder-checking. sounds like he nearly lost his leg.

The company is 8 years old and has been doing really well - right until my boss got hired and started trying to some changes. The changes are ok but the my colleagues aren't willing to change or learn knew things. But I skipped work today and will skip work tomorrow as well. I feel like such an adult.

i cant be bothered to improve my life

A spoke broke on my bike yesterday and the shop nearby wouldn't fix it

That happened to one of my best friends. She has a steel plate in her leg now. Luckily(?) I was underemployed at the time, so I could take care of her often.

had a work associate of my wife's over for dinner last nite (they work in real estate pr). she kept telling me she thought i'd be a good mortgage banker. talking about how her brother is making 500k a year and blah blah blah. the obvious response was "i don't know anything about mortgage banking" to which she replied "well. i'll be honest. you really don't have to be very smart to make a lot of money in banking." and then she went on about how she's made good money and bad money and honey she'd rather be making good money and a bunch of other crap that sounded really sleazy to me. i mean $500k... that's about 10x what i make and i'm not really wanting for money. i hate my job but i'm sure i'd hate mortgage banking even more. it really boggles my mind that people desire that much money. and then i think about how lots of people have waaaaay more money than that

but i really don't understand where this woman gets off thinking i could/would ever do anything in banking anyways. i'm a highschool dropout with "some college." no car. i'm dirty like 90% of the time because i sold my car and bike everywhere. don't like talking to people i don't know. hate keeping up appearances. hate the man.

on the other hand...

if you make a bunch of money in a short period of time then you work less or retire sooner or just fuck off and take 2 years off or whatever. but yeah.. that shit leaches your soul a bit if you don't keep your head on right or have a plan and perspective.

money isn't terrible. you can do cool stuff w/money. charities etc. a friend of mine came into some money when he was pretty young. not enough to say fuck off to the world. he has a job and so does his wife. but he started a scholarship fund. an endowment so some kid can go to college and get some help paying for it every year..

thanks for the anecdote juice but i wasnt talking about money

i was refering to a penis extension operation which would undoubtedly enhance my life, but seems like a bit of a hassle tbh

MOTHERFUCK!

I'm doing the music for a commercial and the reference I've been given is so fucking simple yet I can't make anything that sounds like it! I can play the tune from the commercial on my piano, but the mood in the reference is almost non-existing so it's impossible to make something similar to it. Every test I've made so far is way too bouncy and detailed and I've spent 2 days on it so far. Argh!

Help me, Zypher_Nova!

lol shit! I'm going to need more to go off of here. Can you post the sample song?

I was told I should use whatever instruments I wanted to so the last demo I made was made on my piano and then I added some cello and a pretty deep bassline that plays along the cello. It turned out pretty good but I'm not sure anyone would say that it's in the same style as the track in the video.
