Zombies, Actors, and my very own 2%
Had a meeting with my supervisor today. I always hate when they call me into the conference room for a chat--it's gotten so they now say Can we have a quick chat in the conference room, it's nothing bad. We talked a bit about how I don't smile as much at work. My humor has become a bit more bitter and sarcastic even though I like my coworkers, and indeed, my whole department very much. They gave me a twenty cent an hour raise and assured me that they appreciate me and I do good work. They've been having me train the influx of new kids they hired for fall rush. They seem like a good group. Sadly, one of my favorite co worker's last day is tomorrow. Happily, he's going to take an awesome job he'll be great at. As for my day job, I anticipate a hilariously themed shirt day in the near future.
Finally moved ahead a bit on the zombie novel. Made some choices about the order in which things would happen, and the order in which they'll be told. Major characters from the early draft will be taking a major back seat in favor of some much more interesting characters I've come up with recently. I was going to have a serial killer amalgam loosely based on the Oakland County Child Killer, but then I came up with a much better idea. It's devilishly clever, and I'm pretty excited about it. I've introduced all my major characters, and have decided who is going to be introduced later on.
Not sure what the deal is with podcast actors, but one of my actors hasn't returned any of my many attempts at contact. So I guess I'll be recasting. Seriously though, how fucking hard is it to say "Sorry, I will not be able to do this, go ahead and recast?" Not very, I should think. I spoke with an actress a few months ago that I'm sure can do it. But it will cost me at least $80, which is kind of a lot for the number of chapters it is. Plus I have to bring books to at least one signing in October which will not be cheap.
I've decided that I'm going to get my awesome logo tattoo'd somewhere on my person. Haven't decided where yet, and I'm open to suggestions. Thinking about my inside right forearm, but not sure.
H brought home dinner tonight. Some repulsively decadent burger from the Burger King. Not at all what I should be eating, but very thoughtful of him nonetheless, considering he rode the bus in the rain to get it.
