Warning: this product has nasty side effects

Bad Day
Just having a crappy mood.
Crappy day – whatever.

Started last night.


Felt totally bummed out because one of my artpieces was reported as violating the ToS for their website. Which is cool – even if I borderline skirted the violation anyways.
But mainly it was the reason that bummed me out.
It was something along the lines of “Copying another artists work…



That had me angry for a flash then terribly insulted because I had just spent a chunk of my time (an hour or two) on just doing the face of the image.
I wanted to improve my art. I normally try and I finish a whole piece in one sitting under 2 hours because it gets tiring since I sit in front of computer all day only to go home and spend more time in front of my computer doing art work which I love.

Sigh.

Then my Dad gets on my back by being “helpful”.
Cutting out newspapers clippings of NEW jobs offers. Did I mention, he writes little notes of the sides of the A4 paper sheets that he neatly pastes the individual articles on?
Notes about when would be a good time to apply, etc …

And soon after, starts an argument on the phone with my Mom

And then traffic has to suck in the morning, but I’m used to that.

Printer calls while driving on my way to work. I need to rush to the office and get them the colour print code that they forget to confirm with me when they met me the evening before to show me the proofs.

At my desk, some schuck left front door open all morning apparently. So I’m swatting with my barehands every few minutes to catch ALL the DAMN mosquitoes plaguing my desk!!! I sit closest to
the entry way, closest to the door and the heat from my computer is keeping them from roaming deeper into the rest of the office.

BUT

Let’s at least have one good thing to announce today.

I got a surprising e-mail from my facebook. They’ve invited me to participate in KL’s second Poetry Slam.
Wow …. Just wow ….

And a friend offered to help me out getting started at the gym again :p
When I join next month of course. :D

Your dad certainly isn't mellowing with age. But then I guess we didn't really expect him too. Awesome news about Poetry Slam. Congrats
