Your Day

The Day From Hell.

Due to a complete lack of work (the result of a complete lack of advertising), I've been demoted twice this month - first from a giant corner office as lead app developer to the middle of a print production floor where I was told to learn InDesign because I am now the prepress designer. After mentioning that we'd need a content writer for our blog I was promptly handed that task as well, and let me tell you - it's so easy to research industry trends and write original content while folding and cutting machines are going WHACK-WHACK-WHACK-WHACK all day a few feet from your desk.

And when all our print work dried up I was again demoted to production and bindery where today, I worked with our janitor feeding 1,700 sheets of stock into a laminator for 8 hours. But the real joy was loading and unloading the machine twelve times during the course of the afternoon without permission to let the machine cool between loads, so I continuously burned myself on a 350-degree feed roller.

But the BEST part was that the janitor was blaring STAR FM (presumably a Clearchannel station). I have absolutely zero exposure to broadcast radio so it is intensely jarring to be screamed at for hours by lawyers offering to sue people for you, Country Sweet jingles, celebrity gossip, and some bastard godforsaken genre which pissf*cks together twangy country vocals, post-grunge effects, rap verse structures, and the autotuned sheen of vocal pop.

It was pure torture.

Been playing DOOM since noon. Taking a break. Will continue in an hour or so.

Oh no... you've been exposed to Bro-Country, and for that I am truly sorry. I'm impressed you've made it so far though without hearing any

It is my kryptonite. The scourge of my existence. I had never been so sadistic as to contemplate the abomination of supernature resulting from such a merging. And the chorus took the final leap into the fiery inferno of musical depravity when the vocals suddenly pitch-shifted cartoonishly followed by an insipid bass drop marking the track's ultimate stage of suffering - bro-step.
