While We Wait




In roughly 12 hours from now i'll find out just how long i'll have a job for (me and 300 other people), yes the days of being a post modern light bulb changer could come to a close if the site i work at is passed over for a site in the shitty cold tundra of the upper midwest, needless to say it's been weighing on my mind a bit, in the past i would be hoping for the sack so that i could spend the next 99 weeks collecting unemployment and fucking about but in the last few years i've added a few things to my life, mainly the two most important things in my life (I-mac and Nick Disaster) and the thought of losing some top notch health insurance and dental insurance and a steady check will most likely make for a night of me staring at the ceiling and pacing around a dark and cold downstairs of my house, of course i like to think the news will be good tomorrow and then i'll head to the pub to drink a celebratory Guinness and thank my lucky stars that the place should stay open until i don't have to pay for daycare anymore and to tell you the real kicker, i work for what is considered a quasi-government agency, if you study hard enough you'll know who it is, (Woody Wilson had something to do with it) but man i just hope the news is good so i can keep sailing along and do what i do and be home at night to put my sons to bed and home on weekends to play in the park with them and all kinds of other things that run through my mind, the good news is i'm not the big earner in this household and though we'll be losing a bit of dosh it ain't like we'll be out on the street or anything like that and the girl's gig is steady and solid, that said i been trying to take my mind off shit and this here video has been doing a wonderful job of that, the cat who made it screwed up some of the background, mistaking Tony Wilson for John Peel (a major gaff) but we'll cut him some slack due to the most excellent fucking quality of what he did... Playmobil Joy Division (well technically it's from the movie Control) but it's still quite amusing. enjoy.

Sybill, Twin- see above comment to know how things turned out. There is a glimmer of hope for my dept. but not fucking much, i'll pull out the rabbit's foot, voodoo dolls, gris gris bags and the rest and hope the worm turns.
