We went to see Eddie Izzard on friday night. Now I know he's damn funny, but oh i had no clue, as the tv shows were usually edited quite savagely.

Oh, you have to see it in its entirety, flubs and all. ( cripes even when he flubbed, it was funny.)

So we laughed until we HURT. Laughed till i had tears. All of it makes no sense out of context but the evolution: monkey monkey monkey monkey, YOU, and the impersonation of a raptor getting pulled over for speeding, and moses asking for ten, not 8, not 9 commandments "uh, don't eat barbed wire"...It was basically a comedy semi accurate ( how often do comedians riff on the cretacious and the chixulub meteor crater!) retelling of history and alternate history, smashed into 2 hours and ok, somewhat...embellished.

damn hell I loves me some smart comedy, to boot.I thought there'd be people huffing over his epic skewering of god ( I'll believe if he had flicked hitler's HEAD OFF!) and creationism, and at some points, I'm thinking he was in my oceanography classes. truly fucking smart and funny.

***
Oh look, sunday and we have NO FUCKING WATER again. r's thinking we'll have a downpayment by the end of year, which will certainly roll up fast, and i'm thinking if we can find a place to be in by march, that'd be ok. There's mutterings of elevator work starting in june, the city has said to us "if they'd JUST FIX stuff.. they fix the easy surface things and leave the rest to shit.

It's sort of hard to believe we've been here almost a year ( july 9) and where has the time gone? truly, i love it. it's been fantastic.

figured out how much I'd have to sell to really make this shiny thing a viable venture. Should be easier IF: i get some stores carrying stuff and expand it to some cast pieces and enamelwork that can be done in production. So that, as usual is the plan.

Friend of mine is eyes deep in work issues and I remember my days of working for a boss who seemed to target me, seemed? Nah, SHE DID target me, for every infraction, misstep, misspeak, or failure to bootlick adequately while my idiot co workers practically burned the place down with their ineptitude. i have turned down "promotions" twice, both when I realized they were epic more work, but not much of a pay increase, if there was one at all.

Somehow this made me a bad person? Yeah. I don't get the new style of retail business where you fairly abuse staff then reprimand them for not being cheery and motivated enough. It's all too much "dance, monkey dance" and "the beatings will continue till morale improves" sort of management for my taste. i'd get blamed for not fixing stuff that happened while i was away, out of the country,within 10 minutes of being on shift on return. I went on medical leave when they threatened to fire me for leaving work early after a miscarriage ( had the miscarriage, went to work, did shift, left 10m early)and the stress, and sued. and won. Booyah. the company went spectacularily tits up shortly after anyway. Karma.

Lo, tho the shoppers near my house is hiring,or should be as they hired a girl ( overheard) who says I can work ANY SHIFT ANY ANY ANY SHIFT, except that one and that one and that one, and oh, that one....
