Sheesh! Thank the lord this gig is almost over. It’s a lot of work in a short amount of time. Working hours on Saturday and Sundays = not fun. At least I’m working from home in my jammies and playing with the cats. At least there is some reimbursement that Read more…
I sometimes forget there more people read this blog than the 6-7 friends I write it for. Yeah, the webstats show that there are a few hundred people a day perusing, but they don’t read much and leave. It’s my personal online journal. It’s meant for some lifelong peeps so Read more…
I was distraught a few days ago, my emotional state weakened by the work overload and stress. Perchance I saw something I should not have seen. I read a story posted on the Internet that caused me to become somewhat enraged, almost Hulking out Jack Kirby style. I know better Read more…
Soon. Soon I will have my new ultra comfortable new couch and then I will feel as though a soft velvety gloved hand is cupping my buttox as I watch movies on my enormous TV. I printed out a picture of the couch and taped it to the bottom of Read more…
It’s a safe bet to say I have a bit of the obsessive-compulsive thing. My mind gets stuck in a loop and I focus on one thing over and over until it is complete. This gives an advantage to my employers, but doesn’t do so good on my health and Read more…
This is the first chance I’ve had to even peek at the internet in days. Good lord I feel like I just got hit by a Mack truck. Doing multiple 18 hour days on a national ad campaign with a tight deadline does no favors for eating right, exercising or Read more…
I don’t know what I hate more; what happened today in Boston or the way it is reported by the news. I have so little respect for the modern day media outlets. 24 hour news cycles require repetition and an unending parade of opinions and uneducated guesses – they have Read more…
Slogging away at this job. This is a gig we’ve done twice a year for the last 7 years. The average number of commercials we output is about 150-160. We have almost 600 spots that have to be done in the same amount of limited time. In the last 18 Read more…
Working hard, making the cash money, and enjoying the nice weather. I’ve taken to reading whilst sitting on my bed with the window open for an hour, day or night. The world is a wonderful and amazing place. Life is worth living to the fullest right now. Getting things lined Read more…
Trying to lose weight sucks! 7 days in a row going for walks ranging from 1-4 miles and I’m not getting any better. I thought I’d have lost, like 40 pounds already! At least I feel like I’m ‘earning’ my pizza and chicken fingers ([i]fried and slathered in honey mustard[/i]). Read more…
Knee deep in an enormous client project. This means long days, repetitive processes, and some degree of financial security. Twice a year we do this gig and every time I get immersed. What I can’t forget is the boys. Before, there was someone home to feed them if I needed Read more…
In the middle of a time sensitive, high pressure deadline for paid editing work – what do I do to relax? Go to a movie? No. Watch TV? No. Have a few drinks with friends? No. I edit a video for FRAMELINES. That’s what I was yearning to do to Read more…
