sweeeeeet
so if you refer back to my may 9th post, i chose option a). and quit my job. lemme break it down.
I called in sick yesterday to work on my portfolio and got quite a bit done. dropped off my resume this morning at a spot and have it ready to send to another couple design temp agencies. I get into work and on top of the 5 jobs i knew i had to get done were 10 more that were due by close of biz or early the next day. I was already beatup and the day hadn't even started. i kicked around how i was feeling, worked on some personal shit and copied my files. there was a chili cookoff at work so just prior to going to that, i asked a friend in the office how much vacation i had which was plenty and then called my girl and just double checked with her after letting her know my sitch. She agreed to go ahead and do it. i was sacrificing a possible 6 week severance but it wasn't worth it anymore. i went and had a nice lunch of mostly bad chili and then went back to work and typed up my resignation letter. i wrote up a couple emails. one with my notice and one to friends i still had left. they went into my drafts folder and a temp coworker came up to me and started letting me know work had to get done and fast. i told her to hold on. Dropped the letter on my pussy of a boss' desk walked back to my desk, hit send send, and then said to her. i just resigned, what do you have to talk about? she asked if i was going to work on the jobs. i said that considering i was going to be escorted out of the building in about 10 minutes prolly not and went to get a small box to load up my remaining stuff as my cube was clean a week before. I got a phone call from HR asking me to come over and talk. i knew this was them saying you no longer need notice we'll pay you for the rest of the week but you're done. So i closed all the programs on the computer which triggers it to kill off all history then lock down. The good thing is, i came from the IT dept so i know their protocol. I also know i was the only one in the building that had any kind of working knowledge of macs so they were fucked and it was locked.
they allowed me to walk around unescorted until my final paycheck was cut and i said goodbye to the good people and walked over to say fuck you to the bad ones but the pussy was hiding prolly cause he knew i wanted to physically hurt him (OFF company property). Bad thing is i didn't even get to give him the finger like i wanted. i went home and ms everything met me. we had some cocktails then went shopping for shoes for a wedding this weekend and had dinner at UWINK. pretty fucking cool spot.
Prior to shopping, i got a call from my old IT boss asking if I would do him one friendly favor and give him the password to the computer. I let him know I loved him and respected him but that he could walk over and tell them to kiss my big fat pink ass. that was about it. After all the shit they put me through and drug my name through the mud, there ain't a chance in hell they're gettin the password. Well first even if they got the password, its just the login password. But since they don't have that all the software is there sitting in the open and they can try to reload or wipe the OS but hey! that requires another password, which is completely different. i did however leave the external harddrive completely unprotected as that has work from before me and quite a bit from me butnothing from the last 3 months or so. thats all nicely locked up. So slander me that hard and you get bit. there is a perfectly good, working, gorgeous mac G5 that is about as good as a paperweight. PUCKER UP BUTTERCUP!!! and FUCK OFF JOKEWOOD WHIRLEDWIDE!!!
shit now i gotta find a job. well not today, and not tomorrow. that is for mental healing and relaxation. how bout monday. my book is updated.

wow
it's mothers day. i got every friggin thing done i needed to yesterday...before 11am. then ms. stomach gurgle and i had lunch at an argentinian restaurant that gave her the gurgles and went home. Bought a bunch of stuff for wedding, mothers day, n whatnot. She went to her moms today which is furthur away than i want to go and i hit ma's and grabbed her schwinn breeze which is in pretty fucking good condition...yes it needed that qualifier. I spent about 3.5 hours removing rust and i gotta say... it looks pretty effing good. no more rust. now i just need the tires and tubes and that that one is good. ms gurgles has the same one in green and i need parts. i've been scouring ebay and might have found one that is a 3-speed and not that munched and it even cheaper than the $120 rim i ordered from my local bike shop. hopefully they get back to me and i can buy it and put off the exorbitant purchase. either way i like working on these bikes. they're old and difficult.......but i love them. woooooooooo
seriously tho, it's fucking fun. weird gearing so it's not typical but i'm learning. i'm the kinda person to take things apart just for the hell of it and put it back to gether so it was nice to find something that was in good shape on my moms before completely fucking with ms. gurlges' cause hers in a bit worse shape but fixable.
ma got a new bbq set and spice rub cause thats what she likes to do. she's much easier to shop for, for moms day cause it's summer coming and her bday is not. she liked it i hope cause she's the man that way. more power, more love. i was gonna get really stoned and see arachnidman 3 but that didn't happen. i think i'm just gonna relish in my clean house and bikes and fold laundry and then get drunk,watch sopranos, and entourage then go to sleep without a care when i get in to work.
this week starts the week after the week i thought i was gonna get fired so now, i go into office space mode

lost snippets-don't read it if you don't wanna know
both locke and ben's mother named "emily". people can't agree if ben could hear jacob or was just faking it. or could he hear him at one point, and then lost the ability? many feel jacob is the smoke monster...and ben has been doing evil in the name of jacob and that is why jacob asks locke for help. ben is totally threatened by locke and shoots him...but wait! he shoots him where his kidney would be IF he had a kidney...did ben do this intentionally? or was it to see if jacob comes to help locke? also remember, when eko died, he said to locke: you are next...eko was killed by smokie...richard sees a "specialness" in ben as a child. who else has seen dead people? jack. eko. anyone else? both ben and locke killed their fathers to join the group...but locke really didn't...is that why jacob trusts locke and more than likely healed locke and NOT ben?
fuck me tho that was a good episode.

another question posed to my 3 readers
Do I:
a) quit my job outright with no notice and go out with dignity and a few middle fingers and only take my vacation time (about 4 weeks) and my 401k
b) give my 2 weeks notice, hope they say no we'll sever the relationship now and pay you those two weeks (by law) and also take the above
c) wait for my inevitable termination, take the vacation time, 401k, 6 weeks severance and threaten a lawsuit unless they call it layoff in hopes of unemployment, and a few middle fingers.
Dunno, i'm almost ready to walk so we'll see how much keystroke software my company has that can read a mac and what i'm typing now so they can review it.
pssssssht what do i care? my gigantic smile today will serve as my birdflipping from here on out.

breaking news at 7:00 pm
San Fernanado Valley, CA 8:00 pm
Friday we found out the millah was in town with his missus so we headed to LACMA to meet up with him. Checked some jazz and some photos and headed to Tom Bergins for some eats and cocktails. The eats sucked other than the fries. We then all griped about the band of drunk hipsterish mostly white bread 20-something latinos on the other side of the bar. They were just really drunk and loud. One, Juan, decided to walk table to table and say "Hi, i'm juan and I'm working the room." and move on. Thanks Juan. Well it just got time to take off and we walked to the car and chatted amongst ourselves when that same merry band came walking up the street. They loudly started their cars and then Juan (supposed real name Juan not redacted) did a running jump kick into somebodys prius side mirror snapping it clean off to dangle by the cables. I hate Juan, not because he's latino, but because he's a drunk jackass. Remember juan, if i see you. You don't get a warning. I'm knocking you out. And no i couldn't see the license plate as they sped away to their hopeful demise with a lightpole.
After this we went to Santa Monica Bowl and played air hockey. A bunch of 30 something men playing air hockey and being happy to do it. Just damn grand. That was pretty much it for the night. Saturday brought some housework and cleaning of my room. made a couple shirts and off to pasadena with the foggy window to watch delahoya mayweather. I gotta say Oscar held his own and faded where he was supposed to. mayweather fought a smart fight. not a flashy or impressive fight just a smart one. Back home, gnite
Sunday was early wake up to go send Millah back east with a breakfast sendoff before his flight. Omelette Parlor in Santa Monica was tasty and not yet crowded. Kan met up with oyie a i and grubbed before we dropped him off at LAX. Back home, lie in bed and then wait for the Foggy window to come over. We hit trader joes for our picnic fair and off to Descanso Gardens on a friggin lovely socali day. We toured the gardens and avoided bad fleamarket booths and little kids and made a day of it. Myself with no apparent skin irritations. Foggy window couldn't say the same but isn't bad. There were some pretty plants and lots of nice smelling ones. I dunno bout choo, but I like plucking a leaf and smelling it often. I know the ones i can and stear around the ones I can't. We picnic'd and then headed across town for naut and then home, and here i sit a bit sunburned but happy. and allll aloooooooooooone. except for the doof.

sudden peaks and valleys usually cause plane crashes
So today i got up and put my line in the water to see if they would let me work from home again. Well yes they did with the prospect of actually working at home instead of going to work and reformatting my mac but today was good. Took the doof to the alumni institution to deliver a tshirt job for the art department. he got to walk, alot. he was crapped out but that was good cause he was lagging behind and when he does that his face curls up and he gets super cute. Dogs are supposed to be babe magnets and not dog magnets cause the only attention was given to him. Not that i cared but only one person (with dog in tow) stopped to meet him. I have a rule. I want to know your dogs name or I'll tell you my dogs name. My name is never involved and I won't ask you yours unless you're in my top 4 and i have #1's number. It was cool. The design and illustration in that department has gotten quite good.
We grabbed a burrito and a Glass Bottle Pepsi (GBP) from mexico and went home to work. Got everything done and actually made something pretty cool. See if you can see my nod to current pop culture. It may be obscure and no i'm not redacting my company's name. You can hack whatever you want BUT my computer.
From there it was rotating from designing shirts and making tweaks to crap from work. I gotta say good day. I have 4 shirts going onto screens today and hopefully screening them tonight. So the flip side of yesterday was all good news, so i won't try to deviate from this path but that might change tomorrow when i try to make it from west la to pomona for autolux.
