No not that kind of jobbie.
I have a better, decent job now. I am IT support at a cool animation production company here in portland. Their IT situation is completely messed up and I can bring it around and make it all good for them, as well as be crisis support for all their needs.
Fun! I really should have known I wasn’t tired of the industry, I was only tired of how I was being treated and tired of the faceless corporate machine as it is used by arthur anderson type upper management.
That said, everything else around here is all centered on getting the house ready for the home tiki bar tour – we should have up to about 40 tikiphiles here in 2 weeks.
So the tiki room was started yesterday. we have all the paint on the walls and trim that we need, just the ceiling needs to be done and we can then start hanging the wall covering and get all our stuff out of the boxes it has been in for about six months.
Our den is done, It looks marvelous. Sill some work is needed on swaglamps, lighting, bookshelves, etc. The TV an computers are all in place and working, our new hideous loveseat is very comfortable. I suppose we should be taking pictures and posting them…
I also yesterday dug about a 6′ diameter, 2′ deep pit yesterday in the front yard that will become a firepit area, for remembering the fun of campfires. Hooray. The house is finally coming together.

🙂 Amazing the affect upper management has, and how oblivious it is. Good to see you posting.
Yay. Yeah, I now have some decent on-line time – I should leave for work now, though! I’ll check/post again later from work.
I miss Craig! I’m gonna fry an egg! So dontcha make me beg!
Congrats on the new job… Mmm Firebit.. BBQ!
I miss you too, Mr. Spectacular! Are you going to have any time to get up here for the Tiki Crawl?
I want to play a July 4 weekend time camping trip! Must mail Jen back again!
Yeah, I was thinking about setting it up for a rotiserie in the future so we can cook over it.
Fun!
If you watch Good Eats, the second bbq episode he did showed how to make a smoker out of a terra cotta planter.
Wasting a firepit makes Baby Jesus cry.
I saw that one!
Mmm Meat.
Congrats! It’s good to see and yourself back on the LJ atoll!
Welcome back to the Industry. I’m glad to see you remember why you like the work. Now give it a few months before the seething anger begins to overshadow the positive aspects.
Not that the seething anger isn’t a positive aspect in itself, mind.
Yes, I fully expect the bad parts to rear their head soon. My current strategem is to make myself so invaluable that I’ll have a bit of a bargaining chip. We’ll see how that works.
It may be as easy as successfully communicating status to the owner.
Thanks! I’m happy to have a place of work where I can get funds and prove useful.
WEEEE how cool! Let me talk to phuuz and get you those net tiki items he got you
Whenever you have time – don’t worry too much about it.
Just wish I had more time for CoH lately! Ah well, the house will be done soon and I can re-concentrate on what is important: Levelling.
Whee on the jobbie! And the tikiroom sounds like such fun. I still can’t see tiki anything without thinking of you and tikimama.
