The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[Gone Fission]

Woke up, wanted to go buy groceries, car wouldn't start. Ugh. Jumped it and drove around for an hour after work which will hopefully charge it enough. I do not want to spend money on a new battery. The downside about living above my workplace is that I don't drive enough to keep my Prius' 12 volt battery charged in the winter, and I can't park anywhere that'd let me hook it up to a trickle charger.

Also been depressed and stressed as shit this week. Inventory time at work, which has largely fallen on my shoulders. So, having to balance counting shit with answering the phone, fixing instruments in a timely fashion (hey, can you fit this violin bridge while I stand right here?), selling instruments, managing lessons, making coffee, explaining which guitar strings are the right choice, explaining the new(new in July) POS system to my Luddite boss, and doing it all with a big fucking smile because THAT'S RETAIL. Plus we were closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and are closed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, so I'll have a couple of slim paychecks.

And fucking Lemmy fucking died. Fuck.

Haven't been sleeping well, haven't been eating well, started smoking cigarettes again after 3 years without them, and I've been drinking way too much. Also stopped taking my anxiety/depression meds after my fiancée and I split last month, so that hasn't helped anything. I'm glad I have my dog and my cat. Those furry bastards are the only things keeping me going right now.

And all you lovely fuzzfolks. Thanks for giving me an outlet.

The only advice I have is to quit the smoking, get back on the meds and hang in there.

Yep. Don't know much about the meds [meds, not mess--stupid fucking autocorrect] side, but kicking smoking is a fantastic thing to do, and you've done it before. And hang in there. The world needs dudes like you who build those beautiful, cool guitars.

No matter how much we try to curb our water usage or power consumption the utilities at our new place keep going up every month.

When I started running the coffee shop I manage we spent like $1400 a month on water. Now it's like $6000 and our use has gone down.

[waltdogg]

Oh jeez.

Yeah it's pretty bad.

[BitchPudding]

Band members can't do practice again. I wouldn't be upset if this wasn't happening for the zillionth time. We need to practice more than a few times a month to be worth a damn in the music scene. Ugh.

On the upside, setting up the abilities to play live with my stuff. Forming a live band, getting a mixer and decent PA to do non band shows with backing tracks.

But yea, working with actual humans is shitty. Reminds me why I was doing this thing myself in the beginning.

[snipelfritz]

Ugh, it feels like a Monday.

[goosekevin]

Friend I was gonna move out with has started looking at other places with two different friends without telling me now I'm stuck with no one to move out with and confused about the future

I love you, spicy chicken wings, but today you're destroying my asshole.

It would be totally worth it if I didn't have to walk past my coworkers to the bathroom every 45 minutes.

Just regular ass white label dude.

[snipelfritz]

Buffalo Wild Wings is the worst.

So my boss gave me a spreadsheet and I think I'm supposed to just make sure things from one sheet were copied to the other like they should've been already, but like I said, it's Monday, I've been distracted by my bowels all day and I'm just now reaching an acceptable level of caffeination. Hmmmm, b'okay.

[BitchPudding]

Jaded about were im at in my band...a lot of our songs lately have just been jams I havent been feeling at all. I want structure with my songs, not some 8 minute jam that just repeats the same shit. its boring. I wanna sing and play guitar again. Not jam some silly jazz based riff over and over. I dont know what to do...I dont know how to bring this up to my band mates ether. I feel like I'm the only one that feels this way.

[Iommic Pope]

Vamping is not always aimless. Record it, pick the gold later and condense it down.
Plus varying riffs can lead to elaborations and new, betterer riffs.

Take that advice with a grain of salt though. I play in stoner/doom shit and could do the shit all day.
Eventually though, you gotta draw a line and turn it into a song/piece.

[chuckjaywalk]

My car is dead. I have no money to fix it. No idea how I am going to live. Fuck.

[psychic vampire.]

Back at work after two weeks off. Horrid drama with an ex who I am trying to maintain friendship with. Feeling weirdly jealous/angry/confused about one of my relationships for reasons I still do not understand. Just wanna take an epsom salt bath.
