I hate work

Four days into a seven day in a row stretch at AR. I am sick of it really. I will not be sad when the company uproots itself in a few months. The money is good but if I actually worked there (applied once or twice) I can honestly say I would probably want to kill myself. First of all, as previously stated, the days are slow. Second, it is loud as fuck in there. I would go deaf within a month, even with the earplugs they make you wear in there. The final reason is the worse; the asinine conversations. People bugged me today with the stupidest questions. First was the lady who asked me AGAIN if I was still in school despite being there 3-5 times in the past two years and telling her every time that I graduated. Or the supervisor who asked me "What's up" on my first break like I would have some surprising to say. I cannot eat my fucking lunch in peace without someone bugging me with a stupid question. So here's my final statement in regards to this place.

I AM A TEMP. I AM ONLY HERE BECAUSE ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES BAILED ON YOU OR YOU ARE TOO DAMN LAZY TO DO THE WORK YOURSELF. I AM NOT HERE TO BE YOUR BUDDY, YOUR CONFIDANTE, OR YOUR PRIEST. I DON'T WANT TO CHAT BECAUSE YOU USUALLY HAVE NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO SAY. YOU HAVE TEN YEARS ON ME EASY AND I WILL NOT RELATE TO ANYTHING YOU SAY. I AM ONLY HERE TO DO THE WORK AND GO HOME. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME EAT MY PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH IN PEACE.

Ahh. I feel much better now.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Aaron is done, Eric begins. Plus worker blues

Quick post before I hit the hay. Finished the Aaron subplot the other day with a total of 10508 words. Very nice. I started the Eric arc tonight with a healthy 1882 words. I still need to be doing more but my temp job is making that a bit more difficult. No matter, I will finish regardless. The work was nice tonight, felt pretty breezy when I got going. Must of been the Amp mixed berry. Yep that must of been it ;) Side Tangent...that is now my favorite flavor of Amp. Has the best kick of the bunch in my opinion. Anyways working at Automatic Rolls in the docks. Very easy stuff, just unloading trays off trucks or putting them on a conveyor belt. It's not hard work just not mind straining. Big problems are two fold. One, the days go by SLOWLY. Can't make them go quicker for whatever reason. Still got 5 days of this. Two, there is this sourpuss of a woman who works near me that is always yelling at me about something. She even pulled the "You know how to do your job" line today. I thought of mean things but I kept myself at bay. That is one good thing I learned about the workforce. You need to learn to hold your tongue and take it. And in that, I am the master. Anyways, off to bed. Shout out to Sarge...he's home for a couple weeks. I'll be seeing you Wednesday bro! Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Writing update, Scream 4, and Work!

I know it is late but a quick update on the book since I haven't blog in about two days. Aaron is near the end. I am currently at 7200 words, really close to my 8k minimum. I'll cross that easily, probably end up around 9000. The story with the story even expanded from four parts to six. Saw Scream 4 today and it make me totally forget about the bloodless snooze fest that Scream 3 was. Seriously go back and watch it. A bunch of people walking around waiting to be killed. When a dead character cameos via videotape and that is your high point, your movie is FUBAR. As for 4, great kills, a twisted ending and killer's motivation and a decent cap off to the series. But this thing will make shattering amounts of money most likely so here's to 5 and 6 I guess. Pending they don't suck. Also finally got some work. 7 days at a place I've been to before. Pretty easy stuff at 10.50 an hour. Can't beat that. My bank account sure needs it. I will just have to restructure my writing times though obviously as I can't be working late this week. I'll figure it out one way or another. Halfway through the month, and thus halfway there. WOOHOO. Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Writing a writer

Still ahead of schedule but not as much as I like. My main problem is I cannot get myself to work during the day. If I could get in a session (if for as little as two hours) THEN work at night, it could bridge the gap I need to cross. Hopefully I can incorporate it soon.

Aaron has been not too difficult to write. I mean all writing is hard, but this has been somewhat breezy. I guess it is the part of writing what you know. And I know this; the familial unit that doesn't understand what you do, the feelings of worth or lack there of, the want to have you work your stamp on the world etc. This guy is part me and his struggle is relateable to me. It's not about personal recognition; it's about proving it to yourself that you have what it takes to make it.

Overall, it was not bad of a session. A scene had to be tweaked a bit but some of it went by without a hitch. Now I just to find what to write for the story in story part. That should be fun.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Jason is done. A new arc begins

Finish the Jason character arc with a larger word count then expected. I think I am going to write Aaron next, the novelist. Very meta eh? Was going to start tonight but heart's not in it. I damn near have all the words I need for tomorrow so I'm kicking ass. So I'm calling it a night. Better luck tomorrow. Besides I have to call in at 8. As much as I need the work, if I get a call to directly work on Monday, I'm screwed. I hope that doesn't happen. Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Work tonight

Wasn't on my A-game even though I made past the quota. The work begin to slog which is a bad thing. I need to reload for tomorrow and try to finish the Jason arc tomorrow. I need to be getting more words then the minimum amounts per day. Or I won't finish on time. Thankfully it is still a little early in the game. Today starts a new week. Who knows what it will bring. Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Jay takes a turn, Hanna, and night owling

Another great session tonight. I am enjoying writing from his point of view. I thought it would be hard to write this one, but he sees to be flowing just fine. Plus, with inclusion of a new character, I have opened new avenues to take him and actually increase the word count. Plus I make him swear alot. Which is always fun. In movie news, I saw Hanna yesterday, and I have to say that is one of the best movies of the year. Think of it as a art house version of Kick Ass minus the humor. It was startling, brillantly shot, and had a stellar score by The Chemical Brothers. I cannot recommend it enough. Outside the sleeping till midday thing, I am getting pretty used to working at late at night. Coffee and Monster energy drinks are becoming chum pals and freetechnoradio.com is becoming a helpful muse. This is going to be a great month. Until next time, fly high and fly well.
