Bling Bling, Money is less of a thing.
No one called my house to give me $500. That was disappointing. However, I did pull down a little more freelance work at Manlab. I'm not sure whether the owner actually needs my help or he just feels sorry for me. Either way, I'm not about to say no. They're hard at the deadline for the game I was helping them develop, and they called me back to help them get the shit done. It really couldn't have come at a better time, as my last bank statement was below the $100 mark. Live Rich and Die Young. 50 knows best.In other Job Related News
I had an interview at Silver jeans today. I couldn't have been less prepared.As some of you may have noticed, I've been on hiatus from the designer clothes market. Thus, I didn't really realize the opportunity I was being given. While I was waiting I witnessed a bit of a disturbance in the lobby. It seems there was a shipment of jeans that weren't meeting the quality standards. This might not have been such an issue, had they been dealing in Red Apple product, but these pants retail at over $120 American. Damn.
Aside from the big business dealings, I couldn't help but notice the international ad campaigns and features from YM magazine that were framed and on display. The other applicants that I saw, were design school losers with platform shoes and big portfolio cases full of work they'd ripped form those who came before them.
I was in over my head. I have no art degree and neglected to bring any of my previous work. On top of that I needed a haircut and I had a zit coming in on by my bottom lip. I decided all I had was attitude.
I went into the interview and told them why I was the man. I also apologized for not bringing any of my work, but I "just came from a freelance job at Manlab" and had forgotten it in the bustle. In the end I think it may have worked better for me just playing it cool.
The two interviewers were going to be in Japan on business for the next week, but they figured that they would give me a call when they came back. It sounds as though I am going to be given a second chance to win them over.
If they don't call I won't cry myself to sleep, I don't know that I could work in the glossy. sex sells, clothing market they compete for. However, if they do call I will go back. Maybe they need some middle class hippie shit.
And I'm trying to be a Pornographer
Recall the job I applied for way back? The one where my job would be to update an adult site? I heard back from it's owner this week and I feel that I have pretty good odds at getting the job. This should effectively banish me from all Belisle family functions for years to come.No Use for a Name
It's so true, they rock anyway. I still think Marty should quit being "like that" and join Barnsey and I. I know where the high school girls hang out. There's little Avril's for everyone! |  |
