Crodgedy old bastard
"Space dementia in my eyes and
Peace will arise"
I'm feeling especially ornery today. It part burnout, part let down, part aching.
I've been working way too much lately, and it seems that I cannot get people to approve their work. They keep tinkering and tweaking the jobs. Then there's the jobs that come in, and are due the same day. If you know anything about printing, you know that's rarely even an option. We're not Kinkos. My bosses keep accepting jobs without checking whether or not I can design it, get it proofed, and approved in time. They just want it done, and don't understand otherwise. I need to get the hell away from here one way or another. My plan is to take 3-5 days off once I get the big catalog off my plate. I'm going to drive the interstate as far as I can west, then migrate along the back roads coming back to Knoxville. I'm going to set out telling them I'm taking 3 days off, then call in sick a couple extra days if need be. I've got 115+ hours vacation time, so I can afford the time.
My buddies at the credit union have kind of let me down. They were supposed to be helping me out with a job opening, but have not really bothered with it. It's not a "priority" one of 'em told me this morning. I don't mind them taking their time, but if you say you're gonna do something then do it. Or just tell me in the beginning that you needn't be bothered.
My shoulder and arm has been bothering me for a little over a week now. It goes from a dull pain to a violent pain, and never stops hurting. I'm not real sure if I'm sleeping on it funny, or if this is just problem arising from separating it a few years back. It didn't used to bother me all the time. Hell, I guess I'm just getting old.
I'm just rambling now. I'm tired, feeling sick, and worn out. I need about a weeks worth of rest just to make up for the past few months. For now I'll just crank up Johnny Cash a little bit louder to piss off my assistant. The damn young whipper snapper
Until next time:
