Late Night Hustle

     Heynow. It's 9:15AM and I'm at work. My boss isn't here yet. I hope he doesn't come in and I hope he calls in so I can leave early. When I woke up, my nose was running and it still is. My big toe on my right foot hurts too, I must have slept on it weird. I took some allergy medicine and it hasn't kicked in yet. After my morning shower and getting dressed, I was a bit late for work. Since I was late I didn't get breakfast and I'm really hungry. When I got to work I figured I'd drink some tea to fill my stomach but I had only one teabag. I drank that and now I'm drinking coffee. My boss came in with photo paper for me to print out some old photos that I scanned a few days ago, I got that done. My boss's girlfriend came in, the old photos are hers. I helped out to carry a package / present to her car and I'm guessing she's on her way home. My boss is looking over the specifications again for me to change. There's not a lot of changes but he's still here to my left, I don't think he can see me typing on my blog. My sinuses are cleared up and my big toe doesn't hurt which is great. The morning is becoming better.
     It's past lunch now. I've been working (some work related and some making my custom twitter background page, which is done). I need to work some more on a set of plans I'm working on now but I was going to review my night last night. My boss gave me a lot to do but it's almost the end of the day, so I'll do it tomorrow. Anyway, last night I got in the mood to paint. I got the idea to do a time lapse video again so I set it up and shot it for the first painting. A Painting in Six and a Half Minutes. I painted a total of two paintings that night. The (Spoiler alert) Slash first and then Angus Young for the second. My friend Nick wants to buy both. Now I have two paintings left to do. One for Allison and one for myself which I'll do last. While painting the second painting, my mom called just to check in and talk a while. Dad and her were doing fine. Also while doing the second painting, I uploaded the video. A lot of active activity going on at the same time. I actually painted some while talking to mom. I also told her the video idea I had. After painting, uploading and talking on the phone it was time for bed. Well, I guess I filled you in yet again, I gotta go. My life is exciting, later.

Paintings, Music, Work

     Heynow. I'm at work this time. My boss is to my left checking my work. Whatever changes that has to be made, he marks it with a red pen. I'm typing to make myself look busy. I texted my mom, to see what the plans were for Thanksgiving. It's lunch at 12:00pm. Sean's not coming, he's having his own Thanksgiving at his house in Frankfort. Mom said that we're invited though. So I don't know if I can even goto both. It'll be a three hour drive from Frankfort to Tazewell for me, which will suck, unless I spend the night, which probably won't happen. I will probably take Friday off. Mom doesn't have that day off and I'm guessing that Dad doesn't either. Oh well, today had been not so productive at work. I've been mainly watching Seinfeld bloopers on YouTube. Yeah, there have been changes in the drawings and I have typed out specifications but that was easy stuff. I like my job, if something needs to be done, it is in about fifteen minutes and then I'm done for the day. I then have to wait on my boss or someone else to approve it. An unexperienced drafter would take longer to do what I do. I know the program, I know how it works, I can simplify it. Thank goodness I've been experienced in this from high school. My boss got up to goto the bathroom. He's been doing that a lot lately. I got my three paintings done yesterday (well, I painted two yesterday and one earlier) but these three are going to Allison McDaniel for her nephew for Christmas. Here they are:

Guns N Roses - Slash

AC/DC - Angus Young

Led Zeppelin - Angel Logo

     Thank you so much Allison, I had fun painting all of these. Speaking of art, I am still working on that candle wax sculpture. I like adding wax on it over and over. It just looks awesome. I'll try to post a picture when I think I'm done with it. With those paintings out of the way, all is left is my personal paintings that I'm going to hang up in my apartment. I can procrastinate on those since there's no pressure and deadline. 

     Crap, I think I have a lot of changes to make on those set of drawings. My boss has been there for quite a while and he has written down a few things. Hopefully it's not too much. Wow, I feel sleepy now. Crap! I was right. I've got a lot of work now. A lot of details that doesn't need to be explained but since everyone doesn't know how to read a map, I have to repeat, repeat, repeat.

     Anyway, before I was hit with work stuff, I was going to recommend an album to you. First off, I don't like country music but I have been a fan of this guys work for a few years, his name is Darrell Scott. His album this year "A Crooked Road" is a great album. To let you hear some of his stuff click below.

Darrell Scott - A Crooked Road

Darrell Scott - This Beggar's Heart

     If you can get any album of his, I highly recommend it. I may have told this story but I crashed his family reunion a few years ago and I got to meet him for a few minutes. His whole family can play an instrument and it's awesome to see live. He played a few songs more than twice and each time, he played it a different way. He is very gifted, and I wish I could play guitar / song write like him. Alrighty then, I guess I'll do some work now since it's 3:32PM and I leave at 5. My life is exciting, later.
