CaptainWhiskey's blog: "Winding down."

after taking 3 or so months of internet free life due to an expensive winter my internet is back.

So Tuesday's are kind of fucked at the Herald, we USE to come in at 8pm, but the Cascadia Weekly (Bellingham area paper) doesn't give us the information to make plates til 9, and the press usually dicks around til 8:30 anyways. So we're in at 8:30 now. ON TOP of the setting an hour back, so I was pretty fuckin' hungry around 11:30, or the old time 12:30. We've got a broken gripper in the machine, so there's a huge fucking mess after every run, tonight was the worst yet. Long story short, I FUCKING RULE at what I do. I think that and the stability are why I've there so long, nervous about not kicking maximum ass every day at what I do. The "awkward" stage. Then I ran a huge fuckin' fake college ad for next quarter's registration classes, fuck this beer hits the spot.

So, I'm in a pretty good/bad situation, where I've got nothing better to do, and nothing to really give a shit about in the current town. So last few weeks I've been dicking around on Yahoo, looking for the same job I have now, in other towns, the pay, and the cost of living. Other jobs, in other cities. As is, the top 3 cities I'm thinking of are: Eureka, CA Chicago, IL Boston, MA

So, I was suppose to start work at 8pm tonight, but the press (I work at a newspaper) didn't fire up until 9:15. An hour and 15 minutes of doing nothing but smoking, and bullshitting with co-workers. At work we have this gay couple, one's a pregnant troll-like-thing (who apparently only has time to shower once a week), the other is way over weight, and I've only seen him wear 3 shirts EVER. From time to time, they magically get sick the exact same day, and can't come in (which leaves us two people short). Their buddy just started working at the plant. I may have to kill someone, if all three of them miss the same day. This beer tastes pretty damn good right now.

Shit. There are some fucked up people where I work. Not as bad as it use to be. I've got some good fuckin' work stories. Any how, I'm ending my night with some Icehouse, Rebel Yell (a little on the broke side), and some good music. Figured I'd try and post something.
