Called out of work yesterday. Woke up feeling like ass. Laid in bed most of the day, felt way better, so went to our warehouse (clothing company), and set up a new pop-up shop tent we ordered. Thing is a lot bigger than we anticipated, but it's rad. Watched Hannibal (TV series) last night, which was pretty intense.
Now, at work to finish out the last day of this shitty week. My boss and her insatiable appetite for micro-management and demoralization of her employees, is on my last nerve. I need a new job like yesterday.

Sounds like my job. My new managers are arrogant and have no idea what they're doing, but like to threaten everyone that they're not doing their jobs correctly.

Audio Engineering. I can't get a good job in the music industry here in Houston, but Nashville is the place to be. Plus the school is super high ranked for that program. So it was a no brainer. I don't get any financial aid though :/

I work for a medium-sized, family owned company (my boss is one of three siblings that run this company). Boss is going through a divorce, and handles it worse than anyone I've ever seen. She comes in and lashes out at everyone in the office for absolutely nothing, micro-manages things she absolutely does not understand (example: as the Systems Administrator, I'm responsible for anything and everything technical related, save our security cameras. She can't even log in to her Windows 8 workstation without help, and is asking me what I'm doing to our SQL database, and wants answers in miniscule detail..I'll explain it to her, and she gets frustrated and asks me to explain it "in english, not jargon"... just know it works quite efficiently, and stop poking and prodding). I'm way underpaid, and overworked here. I'm being taken advantage of, but there's no other companies hiring this caliber of work in my area. I've started expanding my search to the next county over. May need to move, but I'm a-okay with that haha.

Ah dude. I don't want to be a buzzkill by any means, so please take this as my opinion and nothing else: take it from someone who once wanted to own a studio (I'm a hobby engineer, and have been doing it for about 10 years now) - the music industry is absolute horseshit. If you do decide to pursue this career, be mindful of the fact you will be used, taken advantage of constantly, low-balled, and given completely unrealistic deadlines (new band can't record to a click, you have TWO WEEKS to track a full length 12 track LP they haven't even written yet. Oh, and the guitar player can't even tune his s**t). I'm not joking.

Yeah, man. I know it's not ideal. And some parts of it really suck. Haha. Trust me. I'm not naive. I appreciate the heads up though. I'm just excited that I got in and this will be a big step in bettering my future.

Yes sir! I've been doing love sound and recording for about 4 years, and I've gotten a small taste of what it can be like. I'm just ready to get out there though. I have a friend who goes to the school and has told me so many good things about it.

Getting s*** done today!

Boyfriend and I had a nice time last night. Talked about things... got some stuff cleared up. He's just super stressed about his EMT schooling.

Tonight after work it's girl's night with the bestie. Super excited. I've been needing it. All I have is boys in my life :(

Wow. Some Firestone shop or something just called in asking about the torque specs on the lug nuts. I honestly didn't know (guessed about 110 ft lbs), so I asked. It's 175 Nm. So I told him that and he just says, "Oh. Well I need ft lbs. Because this is America". NO f**king s**t. WE'RE AMERICAN MADE. So I rudely said "Oh... okay.... SORRY." And like a dumbass I googled it for him.... I should've said "You have a smart phone? Yeah, use that." I'm just amazed with the lack of professionalism.
