Aerodynamic

Scratch that last post. I might as well write, now that i'm here. First off, it's been almost a month since my last post, so the first question is....how are you people? I know I have a small amount of people who look at this, so I ask purely to show that I do care in my own way......Wow does that ever sound cheesy. No, I don't really care, but it's good to ask. Anyways, the last month has been...boring. I've seen Giacomo/Felicia once, due to scheduling conflicts I had to cancel on them at the last moment a few weeks back, due to co-op commitments. Co-op's been pretty fun. I generally like most of the people there, but one of the co-ops just gets on my nerves so badly, and when people get on my nerves on a constant basis, I tend to be a jerk or overly rude to them almost everytime we talk. Let's put it this way, me and her will never be friends. ..Ever! But in all honesty, she's been there as long as I have and she still can't set up the studio properly, while me and the other co-op can do it by ourselves. Two weeks ago she got there an hour before me and began setting everything up for that nights show. When I arrived she said that everything was done, so I didn't go bother to go look, I just went and started doing the graphics for that evening. Ten minutes later, our techincal director, Dave, came in and asked if everything was done, to which she told him, "Yep, it's all done". Now, not only did Dave begin listing off all the things that needed to be done still, it made me look bad for not doing any of it. Then again, I was told it was done, so I didn't bother to look, nor did I think that I would have to make sure she did it all. So me and the other co-op went into the studio and began finishing all the things that needed to get done. I decided to just go about my work and not say anything, which annonyed her, causing her to say "So your just gonna ignore me?" First thoughts after hearing that.. A)Shut the hell up.. B)You haven' said anything in 5 minutes, and i'm not a conversationalist so don't get pissed when neither of us are talking and then tell me i'm ignoring you... C)Shut the hell up. Then when I did respond by saying, "No, but what am I supposed to say. You said you did everything so I started doing graphics". Her response "Well, you should have looked over everything and made sure I did it all"...Fuck no.

I am not a babysitter. I gave that profession up to work at wal-mart, which is not much better, but none the less. She's been there as long as I have and learned how to do everything. I've set up by myself before, the other guy co-op has set up by himself before. She is the only one who still screws up while doing it, and on top of that blames me for not looking over everything. I understand that she can't move the plasma tv by herself, but she didn't even tell me that it needed to be moved, so I didn't know that still had to be done. Now here's the best part. This past thursday, me, her, and the other guy co-op were having dinner in the break room, and watching tv. Dave comes in and says the studio still needs stuff done and that we shouldn't have started eating before the studio was set up. Now, this time, me and her set up so we're both at blame for this one. Really, only the plasma screen needed to be moved, so me and the guy co-op went and did it quickly. When we went back to the lounge we were all talking and I said something about us having to finish set up before eating. My mind's a little hazy at this part, but I know I said something about her telling me I need to make sure she's done everything right, causing her to get angry and completely deny ever saying that. I kind of just tuned her out as she was got angrier with me, as I didn't want to say something i'd regret. She stormed off to the control room and stayed there until me and the other co-op came in. She then moved to apologize to me, but saying that I annoy her greatly and that I don't realize how rudely I treat her and how much of a jerk I am. Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but apologies come with "I'm sorry", somewhere in them, not reminding me of how rude I am. I told her i'm like that to most people, which is somewhat true, but most people and me work past that and eventually become friends, and they accept that i'm weird, rude and off my rocker.

Anyhow, i'm really not to fond of the days when she and I have to work together, because it's awkward and if I say anything, it's considered rude. Other then her, i'm diggin the co-op very much. It's fun, and it's exactly the experience I need.

I'm heading off to bed since i'm tired and have nothing else to say, but if I remember correctly, this blog is now 1 year old, so happy one year to me! I'll do another post soon about the past year, but until then, be patient.

Alive....Possibly

For now, we shall have to wait to see if J-moose still has it in him to write again. I apologize to anyone coming here, but my mind and me have parted ways. I still get ideas, but I never seem to write them out or do anything with them. But, i'm alive and kicking, so keep a look out for something new in the near future.
