Sarcastic Bastard

shit it's been a long time since i've posted to this! it's just tough to get into a pattern...

so what can i say today? in the past few months, i've been keeping relatively busy with work. the plasma shit is causing me more grief than ever lately. people have been coming and going around here, and it's just ridiculous. i don't want to be here anymore, and hopefully my dream will come true! i've got a possible job prospect coming up that i'm very excited for, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. in the meantime, i just keep chugging along with these stupid plasma screens. today i came up with my new law, which is pretty coincidental, because not 5 min after i wrote it, kal sent me to read robin's blog, and his latest post also includes a bunch of laws! but mine is different, and it goes like this:

Leor's law #332: The number of things involved is inversely proportionate to the amount of pain caused to the ass.

such a statement may surprise some, who'd expect it to be directly proportionate, as opposed to inversely. but t'is not the case, and i'll give some examples to prove my point.
1) when working on a basketball game for TV, there is a small camera mounted behind the net, called the "slam cam". this is one of the longest parts of the setup day (getting it in the perfect position isn't easy because of the way it mounts), yet it is the least used camera, and is generally knocked out of position by the middle of the first quarter.
2) plasma screens (yes, it all comes back to those fucking things). of our many screens mounted around the stores, TWO are vertical, while all the others are horizontal. yet i spend much more time (hours of extra work) trying to flip all the content around to play properly on those two stupid screens.

not much else to say about work. personal life is pretty good, though i'm not seeing some of my friends as much as i'd like...conflicting schedules and such make it hard, but my number 1 priority is to make a steady income so that i can move into my own place and settle down. not quite ready, but maybe i should start a countdown to my target, which is the end of next summer at the latest.

that's it for now. hopefully it'll be less than 2 months between this and my next post. if i can get myself into a routine, then it'll be perfect. but routines don't happen very easily for me. i'm having enough trouble trying to find time to make it to the gym regularly! (though i am making sure to do more exercising, even when i don't go, so that's a start!)
