I need to read my advanced schedules more often... because when you pay attention you realize you have 6 overnights in a row. And that your two days off next week are actually 1 1/4 days because of the turnover.
Oh production....
Busy man
Severely tired man. And no chat this week, don't leave me out of your cuddle puddles...

Had a great weekend out and saw some really good local shows including a Daft Punk tribute show that was VERY close to the real thing. The Grrr is I wore slick shoes, drank, and it was raining which equals me busting my ass down a flight of stairs. The same thing happened in 03 under the same circumstances but I shattered my ankle then so Yay to not repeating that but GRRRRR to my butt being so sore I can't sit, stand, or walk comfortably

Booo for show injuries (from someone has fallen down a flight of stairs and didn't notice it until the morning) We checked out some of the vids from that tribute band it was probably worth it
We need a thumbs down button again... and insert some sort of sore butt joke

Yeah it sucked mostly because I had to call in to work today and had to leave the show early which was the worst part. It was a GREAT show and the crowd was wildly happy and everyone dancing
So Heather and I needed new cell phones pretty badly. We had some extra time to kill before meeting up with Popsicle Sarah and her new bf, so we ventured over to the Maine Mall. Went to Best Buy, saw a couple of phones. Went down to what I thought was a Verizon store, only got to see one. Some fast talking asshole shows us a phone. I liked it, she was a little hesitant. Says it shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to switch phones and not long to renew the contract. It's 1 pm at this point, and not needing to be anywhere til 2 I was like ok. Then it's said the phone is $100 after a rebate. Heather and I are like, didn't we see this for $50 somewhere? She walks back down to Best Buy to check. Meanwhile the slick guy is eager to get the contract information through, ramming it through as quickly as possible. Grabs my old phone, connects it to the thing which transfers contacts and pictures. Except it doesn't actually start, I find this out 15 minutes later after he's trying to sell my gf some landline package for her father's house. Was too busy trying to sell more and not do what I asked. Now I'm getting pissed, as Heather's back and tells me it's 50 bucks at Best Buy indeed and slick is screwing me over lying to my face over and over again.
So it's 2, I'm still at the store, it's finally over a couple minutes later - after the guy tries to sell Heather and I half the Verizon catalog. I rush up to meet with Sarah and her bf, but we miss the tour at the Allagash brewery. I'm pissed.
It was a really amazing weekend in Portland. But the phone thing was bugging me. So Sunday after Sarah and the bf went back north, Heather and I go back to the Maine Mall. She gets the same phone as me at Best Buy, and takes 15-20 minutes total to get everything set up without the lying and bullshit. (It was 75-80 for me.) Turns out the place at the other end of the mall is an authorized contractor like BB and not a Verizon owned place. And that place has a reputation in the mall for lying, scheming, and overpricing items. We go back down to the store I got my phone, and after a few minutes they agreed to refund $50 to me rather than have me returning the phone and going to Best Buy 10 minutes later.
If I don't get this $50 back by a week from now, I'll be furious. That place just looks really really shady now that I've dealt with this.

Is there anything that can make you feel more like a looser than cooking dinner for 2 and then coming to the conclusion you've made some pretty lonely leftovers?
I always thought "The Online" would be a good name for a band for a lot of reasons. If you google it, I never could find a band with that name, just thought I would. I even made some pics and gifs just cuz the name intrigued me ... cr****
Lots of GRRRRRs going on right now. Most GRRRRs are financial-related, others are family-related, and others are I-don't-even-know-what. Feeling super stressed

Hugs indeed! So my insulin from Canada was not given a trackin' number this time and I'm runnin' low and decided to be smart and go to an urgent care center to get a prescription. Well because my sugar was a little high (as I had recently eaten) they refused to write a script and insisted I go to the ER. Fuck you fer wastin' my time and money, and lyin' to me sayin' I didn't even need a prescription fer my insulin which I do. So tomorrow it's either another exorbent urgent care bill or a visit to the ER to get my life-givin' meds. Why I should even need a presrciption is beyond my understandin'. I can't afford insurance and it's not provided by either of my jobs. I just want my fuckin' insulin so I can fuckin' live. Please and fuckin' thank you.

I swear this is why so many of us are in jobs that either bore the shit out of us, or don't pay, or have no room for growth, etc. Good luck getting your stuff man.
One of the last Columbia Univ. graduate thesis films I did last year apparently won the student and jury selects as well as a best film prize. Needless to say, that was one of the most controversially filmed shoots I've ever been on -- and I just wanted the film to die on the edit floor. The subject matter perturbed me by the end of the shooting week; and involved two autistic and mentally/physically challenged participants. Not professional actors, using them within the script as actors -- and the director was a frustrating and inconsiderate ----- the whole time too. I don't want my name on this thing, no matter how "good" it is.

This is not so much a Grrrrrrr for myself as for the people who are generally excited about the opening of the fishing (which was yesterday), and the frustrations that come from the existence of ice still on many lakes.
This is what was happening on one of Minnesota's most popular lakes yesterday.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
