I WILL SMASH YOU!
sometime in the last week or so, i must have been in some meetings. in my drug and pain haze, i don’t rightly know when it was, but it would have been either a week ago today, or a week ago last friday.
i really should post more of these.. after i scan them i have an excuse to get them off my desk so i look like less of a slacker.
stuck in a 3+ hour meeting yesterday, i found myself losing my mind. The above image was not inspired by any specific individual… but i did keep hoping someone like him would burst into the room and run around the tops of tables impersonating Mr Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) in 10 things i hate about you. singing a song on a microphone, his porn star mustache wooing us each individually to be go to a dance with him.. eventually being hauled off by security and successfully ending our long over drawn corporate discussion.
oh, dreams never come true…
This is not a kid friendly or work friendly post.
i was digging through a box a couple weekends ago and found a bunch of napkins from a couple years back.
A bunch of us got off work and walked over to the Double Tree hotel, which is close by. Cheap margaritas, and close to public transit, it has worked for a quick after work launch pad to debauchery.
well, apparently at one point we pulled out a bunch of drink napkins and began doodling on them, altering the doubletree emblem to our own means.
i am guessing it would have been myself, Tam, Alex.. others as well, but it was a long time back.
images are behind the cut as some of these are not safe for work (NSFW).. just an FYI, and as such, not for the kiddies either :)..
Meeting Notes – 4/8/10 – 4/9/10
This has been a tiring week. i swap my teams shifts around every 3 months, moving people about an hour each time. this helps ensure that no single person is getting burnt out on the early shift.
mongo moved to the 6am, which requires him being up about 4:30 am. i feel the pain as that is what i have been doing for months now.
strange though that getting up later each day and arriving later, i am actually more tired.
i think i have space mono.. yeah, that is the answer.. it is a disease.. an infection that causes me to sleep more and be more tired.
this week is tiring. i feel like a slug.

another day with a ton of meetings.
when i doodle i actually pay better attention to the subject matter, so bosses reading this, please dont give me a pink slip. the crappiness here is that in any meeting where i have the opportunity to draw, i am not in a position to multitask job duties. if i could read and respond to emails, escalate issues or work on a database, i would..
i never seem to have enough time to get day to day work completed.. but there seems to be abundant time to waste sitting in conference calls where nothing is accomplished or long meetings where nothing useful is discussed.
as a result, i brink to you crappy mushrooms and a crappy sock puppet in a gypsy wagon with fake scenery.
it is angled weird because of the paper direction.. sorry bout that.
Notes from yesterday’s meetings.
I saved them for today so as not to step on the toes of my hopeful “writing group” post.

i have not been someone who counts down the minutes to friday EOB in 7 years now.. why now?
i need to find a way to harness this negative energy and use it to power electric toothbrushes or something.
Work is going to turn me into one of those “weekend warrior” types that i despise so much. normally, i dont mind my job, but i am beginning to burn out. too much to do, not enough progress, everything just sits here stagnant, always in an “escalation state”
ultimately, i am glad glad glad it is saturday today….
!!!
and apparently, i am also a sponge for marketing jingles because glad glad glad just got hefty hefty hefty… Read the rest
