No, not for those losers Bush and Kerry.
I’ve submitted another label to Jones Soda. I had a label approved and used two years ago and I’d like to do it again. Seeing your work on the shelves every time you go to the grocery store is really kinda cool.

I got notice from my current contract company that my contract ends tomorrow. I knew this of course and have already taken measures and have a new job starting on the 1st. They didn’t know that I knew. What was uncool was that they told me through email.
A fucking email to let me know that as of Wednesday I’m going to be unemployed. ‘Thanks for all your hard work. There’s the door.’

The Good:
I got a new digital camera on Sunday. A sparkly new 5.1 Megapixel Sony Cyber-shot P-93. I had been looking at this camera for a while as it had all the features I wanted. It was the only 5 Megapixel camera I could find on the market that could use regular old AA batteries. I have been burned too many times on vacations and trips on supposedly fully charged batteries dying after 5 photos. It take sweet pictures too and is loaded with features. 5 MP is great until you realize that that means photos at its highest resolution take up just over 2MB each. I can only get about 50-55 pics on my 128 Memory Stick where with my 2MP I could get about 150 in that same size. Life’s rough. 🙂
The Bad:
I found out my contract at IBM is not going to be renewed after the end of this month. I managed to find a position in a different department through a friend and start in that role on the 1st. The down side is the 15% or so cut in pay rate. It better than unemployment I guess. It looks like fun and I’ll be working with cutting edge stuff so it should be interesting.
The Ugly:
Today I went to the doc and got ‘The Cut’. I am currently hopped up on painkillers and Valium. I am feeling no pain(ok, maybe a bit of pain). The worst part was the needle. Imagine the most sensitive part of your body. Now imagine a big ass needle piercing it. Ow, ow, fucking ow…
All in all a very interesting last 3 days.
P.S. I originally wrote this entry while very high on Valium and it was quite illegible but funny as hell. Maybe I’ll post it someday for the world to see.

Walking out of Chuy’s a couple days ago we overheard a guy in the lobby talking loudly into his cellphone.
And I quote: “…unoffically this’ll be my 8th drunk driving conviction…<unintelligble>…and they don’t even know about the other illegal things…”
WTF? Eight drunk driving convictions? And what the hell is “unofficially”? At what point does one acknowledge that they might have a small drinking problem? Killing someone? There is never an excuse for drunk driving in my opinion. If you want to kill yourself, great. The world doesn’t need or want you in the gene pool. Unfortunately, more often than not, you end up killing innocent bystanders.

Dropped by Walgreens this morning to pick up my allergy prescription and passing down an aisle I noticed this. Right above the health bars(soy bars, energy bars, granola, etc) they had a display of pork rinds. Well, Marge, screw the diet. I’m getting some pork rinds instead.
