The Week in Wednes
This week can go fuck itself. Seriously.
I've been depressed for a couple of weeks now. It sucks. Then some customer wrote a letter about how mean I was to him, conflating certain facts, and outright inventing others. He sent it to the President, the Owner, and the CEO, effectively making me look like a total asshole. The bosses were cool about it, so far as I know. But man...it sucked.
As such, I am making a new resume for myself in the hope of securing more lucrative writing work. I really would like to get the hell out of customer service. I don't know that I was ever actually well-suited to it; it was just something to do.
I'm getting more of those stupid not-actually-a-dangerous-cancer-splotches on my face. They are hideous and I can't afford to do anything about it. The thing they cut out of my back last fall still itches like crazy. But we never paid the lab bill so I can't have any more lab work done until we come up with $600--as if, right?
Money is low.
We need stuff that costs a lot.
That is all bad, with no knowledge that it will get better any time soon.
Still, it doesn't stop me from splurging on the occasional "luxury."
With that in mind, I saw Super 8 at the IMAX today. I wanted to see something thrilling and fun and explodey. Mission Accomplished. It was a fun, completely predictable film that fits neatly into the summer blockbuster mold.
During the end, I was standing in the aisle and some kid came tearing down the aisle and smacked into me. It was pretty amusing. The kid was like a 10-year-old freight train--which is funny considering that there's a big train accident in the film. Anyway, the kid kept apologizing, but I really did find it hilarious. Luckily, I'm padded to withstand impact.
In addition to getting a new resume and some writing samples together, I'm putting up a new interview this weekend (With zombie writer Scott Kenemore), and working on the book. New S4S podcast ep went up on Weds, so that's around if you've an interest in such things. This ep also features a rendition of Simple Gifts from Peter Alway. Woot!
Seriously though, I really hope next week is better than this week.
