stupid first world achievements and successes

I was actually thinking about asking them about getting paid in equipment, but I’m working on this through a production company.

And yeah, I took it as a huge compliment that they asked me to do it :)

 

I’ve already done one tune but they re-edited the video so they needed something more uptempo. I really liked the first track I did, and so did my client, and now I’m worried they’ll tell me that the new track is too dark. Oh well.

Can we hear the tracks once the contract is complete?

Sure!

This was the first draft I did which has been scrapped because the video got re-edited. Just ignore the parts where things get tonally weird... and ignore the mix as well. Like I said, this was the first draft ;)

Completing music and releasing it and saying 'here, this is done' is a great relief.

my job had me take my WHMIS again to be certified (workplace hazardous materials). the videos that i was supposed to watch were a total of 4 hours... fuck that. went straight to the multiple choice test and got the 80 percent that i needed.

like a boss.

2015 .... i think. video talked about both

Oh good! Yeah until 1998 is fully phased out, workers need to have knowledge of both. Which is fucking stupid IMO.

My older brother spent a lot of money on custom-made polo shirts with his company logo on them. His wife washed them and they shrank to the size of a tight Small. My brother is fat.

 

I lolled.

Me too

On a related note, I read the password card for my parent's router once - ONCE - and I remembered it forever. They call me up to ask what it is, and I perfectly recall it, every time.

 

 

 

 

But...I can't remember the password to mine. :(

How the fuck would I remember a random string of digits?! Be reasonable.

 

While proofreading my book, a section I had forgotten about made me cry. For reasons other than bad grammar / spelling, I mean.

i managed to get into my apartment (it's still mine, my name's on the lease) and get my ms-10 back!

 

this may well escalate the situation further once my roommates return from holidays but it's worth it to have my baby safe

I successfully managed to restrain laughter when my grandmother said "peanuts for squirrels". Because it sounded like she said "penis for squirrels".

Congrats! What's up with your roommates not allowing you into your own apartment, sounds like you're literally at war with them, and since it's still yours you'd have the law on your side going there?

You sound like a cool dude, so why are your roommates acting in this fashion towards you?

Pipenik, I like you but the redacting is distracting. But, hey, you do you, bud.

I like to challenge my audience. That sounded a little passive-aggressive, as if you're a bit offended that I'd redact information from you. It's nothing personal. In fact, if it was just us two, there would be no secrets. (Call me.)

No aggression intended, passive or otherwise, I just felt the need to point it out in a way I hoped would be friendly. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

the challenge is too great for me so I just avoid reading.

Just looking out for you, these kinds of statements might not fly well in a place like this.

Listen well, usagi, you've got a mentor now.

one of my fav developers name dropped me neat the end of this podcast.

one of my fav podcasts as well. i know it's a small trivial thing but today when i feel like hammered shit it was nice. 

 

also, i farted. it was risky because borderline shart territory but it turned out just fine and seems was gas that was deep in my spine somehow. 

 

i'm sleep deprived and jet lagged and in 3-7 on the back pain scale of pain but pulling through and looking forward to wandering through the grocery store in some kind of aimless zombie funk. 

getting through Christmas without killing anyone, yet
