Good Morning BOTL / SOTL, Just a little post padding

[chefchris]

well, my tattoo artist called in sick today. rescheduled for tomorrow.


my boss is sitting next to me and cannot stop fallin asleep. it's so freaking funny. his head drops real hard and it wakes him up, then he shakes his head like he's ashamed of himself. i've been seeing how close i can get with my picture phone.

too funny.

well, got worked on last nite. we only made it an hour and a half. he still wasn't feeling real good. got the bottom half done. i got another appointment tomorrow to work on the top of my arm. in my opinion, the worst part of tattoos is the week after, not actually getting it. it feels like a huge burn injury and you gotta keep gooey sticky A&D ointment on it at all times. sucks.

Here in England we are enjoying 70-80 mph winds which have kind of killed all the trains that I can use to get home from work, this evening is going to be fun (not)

Well, we've had 2 days of above freezing temps here. Feels like a damn heat wave. Getting ready to leave for Ireland in a few days... hopefully they won't have any snow.

Currently just below 60 right now and suppose to jump to the low 70s while tonight we'll dip back into the 50s.

I have 3 more hours here in the office and then I'm off to meet a buddy for lunch followed by a huge convention for work down by the tourist trap areas. I have a couple friends that work down that way so I'll probably drop in for a drink or two, maybe hit Corona Cigar Bar, or possibly end up seeing the chick I went out with Wednesday for a 2nd date. At this point it's all up in the air and I'm good with that.

I took half a day off yesterday, to go to the torture chamber. Aka dentist. I hate that ultrasonic thingie. Feels like gettin the icepick in the forehead. Made use of the time off, and went to the B&M which was having - Bolivar day. That was pretty nice. Free cigars. Watched some TV, smoked a nice smoke, and forgot about that icepick.

My boss is a jackass. Ok, so he walks in at 2:45 and I finally get to go to lunch at 3pm. Marcus, my coworker, decided he needed to leave at 4 to take his son to the doctor for a prescription. What Hal doesn't know is that his wife didnt go to work today. Plus last time he gave this excuse we caught him in a lie. So Hal lets him leave no problem. This guy works maybe 2 whole days a week. He's either late, or comes up with an excuse of why he needs to leave early. So anyone, he let's him go no questions asked. Right when he leaves Hal asks me why we didn't have anybody come in this morning. When he comes in, he checks the reciepts from any transactions we've made to see if we've been busy. The thing is, the majority of the time someone comes in, they won't pay anything on their first visit whether it be because they want to see a proof or some other reason. I took some pretty large orders today, but he doesn't know because they have not paid. Anyways, he asks why we weren't busy. Like that's under my control. Does he think I just lock the door and hide until he gets there? He's treating me more untrustworthy everyday.

He also made a pretty racist comment a while ago. There was a guy that came in and ordered something and put it on another account that we have with a company. Well, the invoice got sent back and so Hal went on the prowl. Come to find out the dude doesnt work for the company, just hangs out in the back and uses the internet. But before we find out that this guy even hangs out there, Hal looks at me and says, "Was this a black fella?" I couldn't believe it. What does that matter? Not the first time he has said something of this nature.

On a lighter note, I'm getting more work done today on my arm.

I think this thread should be renamed "Read Chris' Rants About His Job and Tattoo Updates"

I actually got off work on time today...First time this week. Had a 14 hour, one 12 hour, and two 10 hour work days till today. One day they will hire enough people until then I'm the king of overtime.

Going out to eat with the wife...Then I'm gonna crack open a bottle of rum and relax.

I know what you're talking about Ken. I work at least 10 hours per day most days, and 11-12 hour days sometimes. It gets old, but it's a decent job, so I just keep plugging as much money into my 401K as I can afford and dream of retirement in 5-10 years.
