The Latest

Got a front door over the weekend, plan on installing it as soon as we have paint. I have today off, as i work at a bank (yay).

I got some new "Underglaze", it's Chartreuse (green), and we will see how it turns out. Did a couple of pieces thus far, and I'll probably do at least 1-2 more. see below:

End and beginning.

So i left my new job of 2 weeks today, to go back to my previous job. They wanted me back, and i wanted to go back.

The new job was not right, it was setup for a "Desktop Tech", when in reality, i'm a network Administrator. Also, this was a HUGE organization, so segmented it would make you PUKE. We had at least 5 meetings per week for various things, ranging from 1 hour to 2 hours. The real killer was this morning when i found out that their backups were outsourced, so if you needed to recover something, you had to pay and schedule it with the company that ran it. The Routers and firewalls were outsourced, apparently the Network Admin could not handle this in between his phone call sessions.

I guess that was the death of it right there, i knew everything the network admin did, but i could not tell him how to do it, or even help. My job was "Images" and desktops, plus supporting the local 75 users. Soo boring, and beneath what i CAN do.

Long story short, i'm back where i belong, with a more focused mission now. I'm glad about it. Although i would like some more $$$, we will work on that later.

Peace...

What the hell?

Got some new clay a few weeks ago, and threw with it for the first time today. 10X better than the super soft shit i was working with, it can be moved much higher, but it's the same color as the junk i've used. My next big challenge is making a large plant pot for my Mother in law. I'm thinking 15-25 pounds.

On the job front, it looks like there's a good chance i'm going back to my old job. I'll find our tomorrow if it's really going to happen, and i'll give more info on my non-seen blog then.

Also, i saw "no country for old men" today on cable. Now i know alot of people thought it was good, but boy did it suck! It's like directors and writers try to write in so much subtlety, it kills the watchability (not sure if that's a word), but anyhoo, i really did not like it, i think it's right there with "Glitter" and "Jersey Girl", with the worst movies i have ever seen. As a matter of fact, it probably goes in that order, No country for Old Men would probably place 3rd in the all total crap movies of all time. Waste of 2.5 hours, i'll tell ya!

Hopefully tomorrow i'll wake up from the stupor i've been in, and i need to, one way or another. It's like i'm walking in a dream...

Till tomorrow.
