A shout out to the folks at Denson/Reed and Dogwood!
I was summoned to Denson/Reed this morning. Upon the conference table was a box, labelled:192.0.2.
"So that you're only a click away... from your friends at Denson/Reed Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations and Dogwood Productions."
My heart was doing that little rapid-thump thing. I lifted the lid, and there was a brand-spankin' new Epson PhotoPC 600 digital camera, all for my very own! No longer will I have to monopolize Dogwood's... and now I will have a camera in the hospital, so you folks can SEE all the nasty shit they're gonna do to me!
Watch! As Trey vomits!
See! The amazing refilling bedpan!
Smell! The-
Ok, we won't go there. But this really makes me happy, and will let me continue to do my webpage the way I want to, instead of settling for what I can manage.
Went out to lunch at Thai Orchid with Darrell and Chad from the Digital Garage. Darrell and I worked together a few years back, got our real starts in this business working together. He's good people. Todd Hall and Ted Burns showed up also. Todd runs DigiBoy, a digital video house that shares office space with the Digital Garage. Good little collection of techno-kids, all folks I used to work with. Good people, ya'll.
It was good to hang with these guys for a bit. I won't see them for a while, and I will miss them. They've seen me through thick and thin. Todd used to come up behind me at work when I was stressin' out and work the kinks out of my neck while I typed. Freaked me out the first time he did it... I was not used to being touched. That was one thing I was glad to get used to. He is monstrously strong, both physically and mentally. Just had him a baby boy, and you should see his face light up when he talks about him. Darrell would listen to me freak out back in the studio, when it seemed like I couldn't take the shit that Ric and Mark would throw at me anymore. He'd calm me down and help me get what I needed done. He is one of a kind, ya'll. I watched him go from an inventory/lab manager/odd-job type that didn't know much at all about computers to a hard-working pre-press guy, teaching himself everything he needed to know along the way. Pretty damn impressive, if you ask me.
Can you tell I love the people around me? What can I say, they return it. They treat me right, folks, and that is incredibly precious to me.
Ya'll take it easy.
