i am firmly of the belief that my boss is sniffing crack in her office, either that or every time she opens her mouth a little more of what`s left of her brain leaks out.

i must be a complete fucking idiot to think i could work for someone so insipid. i have no idea why she`s irking me so much. actually that`s a lie, we get a brief [well not an entire brief, just an outline] for a presentation on august 20, now bear in mind, i spent most of yesterday working on an ad for another bunch of morons [which we had the pleasure of doing because of some political connections of one of our board members]

[aside: i always knew the police service here was populated by morons, yesterday i discovered how high up the chain the stupidity goes.]

on with the tale, this morning, the braindead wonder called my boss comes up to me and says `i need a logo design for * [* being the client we`re presenting to on aug 20], tomorrow, i need to animate it.`

WHAT THE FUCK?

breathe. i applied for the bank job. i don`t have to put up with this shit. i can find a better, less stressful job. i know i can.

all of this begs the question, why am i so upset? i`m upset because i barely have a brief, haven`t been able to do any research and the hair flicking, tittering nitwit wants me to assign it to my junior artist as well.

my resume and portfolio are here. if you have a job for me let me know. please.

What Planet Are You From?

this quiz was made by The Autist Formerly Known As Tim

got that from tearsofice and this from jadedgrrl [they`re in my faves, go fetch]

online palm reading

You have a good imagination, and often exhibit sensitivity to others.

You have so many interests that you may have trouble deciding which ones to pursue.

You are a warm hearted person, with much love to give.

There may be times in your life when you give in to feelings of sadness or depression.

You are likely to make decisions based on intuition or feelings rather than intellect.

Although you have ambition, you do not always exert the energy necessary to be successful.

You have a basically strong constitution, and should enjoy good health most of the time.

The most productive time in your life will probably occur in middle age.

I HATE MY FUCKING JOB! I HATE MY CHEAP-CORNER-CUTTING-BOOK-SENSE-ONLY-CAN’T SEE PAST THE END OF HER FUCKING NOSE-IDIOT BOSS!

ok, now that i’ve gotten that off my chest. god, i hate that place, i hate the jobs we end up doing and the clients and the friend of friends and the politics. and i ponder why i’m still at this job. although i saw an opening in the papers for a graphic artist at one of the banks. i think i’m going to go for it. it can’t be any worse than my current job. hmmmm. let’s look at the plus side, better pay, benefits, probably full time internet connection, real working hours…

hmmm, what the fuck am i waiting for? [well i need to talk to vic first, but otherwise i think this is a good idea]

i just finished watching 28 days later, which was amazing. well written and well directed. not your average horror flick.

vic and i are still looking for somewhere we can afford to go to for thanksgiving. tickets here are ranging between the ridiculous and the obscene. Toronoto was our fall back position, but that’s just as bad, right now the most reasonable destination seems like london. anyone has any suggestions for us for the last week in november let us know.

A GREEN Dragon Lies Beneath!


I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out I am a Green Dragon on the inside. My Inner Dragon is the embodiment of Nature and the Earth. Greens spend almost all of their time below the canopy or just above the treetops in tropical rain forests. Not a bad life considering every other creature in the forest looks up to me, figuratively and literally. I speak the language of every animal and plant in my domain and know most of them by first name. If people mess with my forests, I’m more than happy to wail on their puny butts. Because of my protector/caretaker role, I am the Earth Elemental dragon.

Naturally my whole life pretty much revolves around the other couple million species I keep an eye on, but that’s not my whole dragon. I also like to like to impose my steadfast will on others, commune with Nature, and lobby governments for alternative fuels and conservation. My favorable attributes are gemstones, mountains, caves, soil, respect, endurance, responsibility, prosperity, and purpose in life. Folks shouldn’t get the idea I’m a hippy pushover though, because my breath weapon is a nasty Fire/Acid combination. Maybe I should invest in a hemp shirt reading “Don’t knock my smock, or I’ll clean your clock.” *wink*

SPOON!

ran away and went to lunch with PT, we wound up at fridays, with a cute but duh waiter. lunch was fun and it was nice to have some to have lunch with. since vic left eating alone is always followed by the onset of major depression.

i`m going to miss k, when she leaves for school next week, but in her own way she`s created a support system for those of us she`s leaving behind. she`s created a nice little circle of friends. thank you k. you`re a great person and friend. i`ll try to make sure that there are people to take care and support you when you get to school.

i`m off to watch charmed. i`ll be back later. ciao.

a love story…

August 2, 2003 — Leave a comment

i`ve just recounted to someone how vic and i met and it prompted me to go read old emails and ims.

vic and i met online at nerve.com, and this in a nutshell is our tale…

for about 7 weeks we im`d. 8 – 10 hours a day, everyday. then i flew to miami, spent 22 hours on a bus. got to knoxville, worried that she would see me and run away. she came and picked me up at the bus station and smiled. i knew it then, actually i knew it before i got there, but it was just confirmation. i stayed an extra week. i didn`t tell her i loved her when i was leaving because i was afraid of what it would mean. afraid it wouldn`t work out… went to see another friend and came up with all kinds of reasons it would work. trying to convince myself. i couldn`t. went back in november, had a job interview in december, took a job in naples in january, drove 11 hours the first weekend i was there from naples, fl to knoxville to propose. we got married in barbados last january. we`ve seen each other twice since then. once in london last october and then last week.

just wanted to share.

living in a box

August 2, 2003 — Leave a comment

it`s been a little over 2 years since i got back to trinidad and i realised today that i`m stilling living out a bag or a box. i have one drawer in the bedroom i occupy, i have a boxful of books, a desk i share with my daughter. everything i own is basically packed or ready for immediate packing. i live with my mother, precluding the need to break a lease. i want to settle down, i want to be able to go to the grocery and stock my cupboards, i want to cook meals, clean house, i want all my books in one place. but above all i want all these things with vic.

there was an afternoon while she was here, where we just lay on the couch reading. nothing else, we both had our books and at various points in the afternoon we`d change positions. it was one of the high points of the visit. i want to be able to do that on a regular basis or just sit and have conversations, face to face about anything that strikes our fancy.

there are a number of suggestions that vic moves here, it`s in the back of my mind, but i think my unhappiness here shows and i don`t know how i`m going to keep it from tainting our lives. i have a job i don`t like in a field that sucks the life out of me here. what can i do to make living here pleasurable  and comfortable for us both?

i`m starting to spiral into the pit. i`m going to drop the dvds i borrowed back unwatched and try and find something to pick me up. the weather isn`t helping. i`ve shared my love of the rain with vic and that`s she`s gone, i can no longer enjoy it the way i used to with thinking about her.

[addendum]

i was rereading this post and realised what i have made and kept since i`ve been back. i have been privy to a number people of extraordinary character that i`m honoured to call friends. life is difficult enough, i`ve been blessed enough to have made a number of new friends since my return. online, in person, well meet.
