Wrap it Up
Talked to Matt yesterday. Told him this is it for me. I just cant see the benefits to staying here. Matt has taught me a ton but the environment is depleting me. I’m glad I got a recharge being around Hutch as far as design goes. Aside from that, I have to do my own thing. So I told Matt I’m out of here when all the interns leave. He said I’ll be all right, I have a good head on my shoulders and stuff. We were talking about what will happen when the interns leave and how we have to keep in contact for freelance stuff. Keisha came in work snapping. I mentioned it in passing to Matt, he asked her about it and then she starts on me about it. I usually would be combative but look where we are… I cant even blame her because this place breeds dissention and malice. I was cool with her when we were in the other room, just me, her and Sasha. Now that everyone is herded into the same room (minus Matt and Carl) there is going to be more of a tendency to rub each other the wong way. I hate that crap. Its like being in a mosh pit; you HAVE to butt heads just because you’re in close proximity. No other reason is needed. I talked to Matt after I left. He said everything is cool.
Yesterday I checked in with the mexican restaurant. I got there while they were busy. I didnt have the car, so my father in law came and got me from work. I thought he got my message but he didnt. So I tooke him home and came back in our car. The guy that runs the joint was already gone. I talked to his brother. I showed his brother their business card and that they have the same logo on their card that is on another restaurant down the street. I asked him, “Do you think you can stick out to pull in business if they look like you?” He agreed they couldn’t stand out and to come today to show to his brother. Vince is going to give me a ride.
On my way back from there, I went down Conkey. I remember taking that way and seeing a lot of businesses. I stopped by a couple of sign places and a printery. I asked for various things. Stuff me and Vince talked about as far as advertising our businesses goes. I dropped my web address at those places too. I doubt anything will happen but I’m just warming up before I hit the white pages.
I also call Rober Morris College. The art advisor is leaving (as usual) and transferred me to the new lady. Her voice mail said she’d only in on wed. It’s already thurs. So I most likely have to wait to meet up with her in a couple of weeks. Im going out of town next thurs to sun. Whatever Carl has to say about work, I hope he doesn’t catch me out of town. I wont be answering numbers I dont know.
I’ve been up since 4:45 am writing content for my site. I have to call Mr. Noels and see about his business. I also have to get ready to go to Don Andreas (the mexican place). We’ll see how it goes.
