Don't have the time or inclination at the moment for doing a more finished piece. This was done at work. The whole department has nothing to do at the moment. When the rush starts, I'll be gone. Going through the learn this, prepare that, research this, post that, nonsense again.

Sorry to hear. What happened? Contract dry up?
D.P. Associates was a division of L3 since being bought 8 years ago. It is being transferred to another L3 division to no longer exist as an independent body. They finally merged the finances and it turns out the group swallowing us uses direct contract money to pay their overhead. So they are using my salary to pay their salaries and the contract I am (was) on is being sucked dry. No one is sure how they are going to finish it or whether the whole thing will just be taken away and completed by some other L3 entity.
It's so CUT throat anymore. Missed the days of the 5 year contract with a good product and no strings attached from corporate.
Hell, shoot the horse and get a bike. I think my days of the 9 to 5 are officially over. need to rethink my life as well as a new path for my art.
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy
If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away.
That's bad news Ben. This company I want a job with has been at it for 13 years. Hopefully IF I get in, It will last for a couple of years. I've been bum broke for years now. I need to break discover card's heart and pay them off.
I like that horse. Good angle. On a beast I have trouble drawing. Try a temp dive into shuttle driving. Of course working the airport may be a good way to get the ebola. Believe me I think of it every time I get in the packed van with my version of diversity here in OKC. I mainly worry about TB which is making a big comeback I hear.
Sorry to hear about the layoff Ben. This job drought for artists just seems to be never-ending.
What the F was that article, Ellis? Now I remember why I cancelled my Esquire subscription. (I actually cancelled after a never-ending article praising Rahm Emmanuel for doing the same things they pilloried Giulliani for doing a few years before.)
I did buy a pork pie hat just before Gustavo Fring bit the dust.
Jose Delbo would fail that horse.
Sorry Ben. That probably said more to me than you. Even though I wasn't much of a middle age crazy. Didn't have the money to fuel it. I was just crazy without any real obvious manifestation.
It's about... I don't know. I was reading it and it seemed relevant to having a hard time past a certain point in life.
You're right. It wasn't on the nose related to being laid off or this wretched economy.
Maybe I should read it again. Didn't see any of things you saw in it.
I had an Esquire subscription for years. My brother got it for me when I had a hospital stay in 2000. Used to look forward to it, but the constant snark and snobbery got to me.
There was one great article years ago where a guy would just answer "No" to questions with no explanation. It drove the women in his life crazy. If you want to break up someone's marriage tell the husband to do that, say your giving him sage advice.
My only great Esquire favorite was the Dubious Achievement Awards. The funny double whammy of headline that magnifies the dumb event or personality being "awarded."
Done funnier these days by The Onion.
