My music
Time

I know it’s a bit strange of me to post something new when many of you haven’t even received your current album yet, but I spent about $400 upgrading my recording gear and setup and wanted to share. It sounds so much better now, everything is much clearer and more defined, and the parts don’t fight with each other anymore.

And everyone whose waiting for their CD (which unfortunately won’t have this sound) I promise it will be soon.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

Just wanted to let any concerned parties that today I went into treatment for alcoholism/substance abuse/depression/anxiety/generallybeingadebbiedowner. It’s outpatient (obviously, or else I wouldn’t be posting here). Whether or not I will completely stop drinking/smoking pot is not yet clear, but I probably will have to. But at the very least I want to get to where it doesn’t completely run my life. At least to where I don’t have to have a couple drinks and a puff to go out in public, to work, to see my friends, etc. Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not the “embarassing drunk” or stoner who walks around incoherently babbling, I just take a little to relax and face the day, but I’m tired of the cycle. I’ve been getting concerned comments from my coworkers lately about my appearance, that I appear tired, my eyes are baggy/glazed over/red. None of them said that I’ve been acting intoxicated, but I think with my appearance they are starting to put two and two together. In a concerned way, not a judgmental way. At least so far.

I haven’t drank or smoked so far today, (it’s about 1:30 PM where I live) and while I don’t feel cranky or irritable I don’t feel very good either. I feel really anxious and nervous, and somewhat sick to my stomach.

In the middle of the day, whenever business is light, he asks the owner if he can step out for a nap. They say sure, go ahead. He goes home, comes back an hour later, and continues working. He keeps track of this for a whole year. Apparently, the law says if you do two shifts in one day, the second shift is overtime and you can’t pay the worker tipped wage in that case. The owners just think they’re letting him take a break, but the law says if you go home and come back, it’s a new shift. So he builds up about 100K in “unpaid back pay”.

Are you sure? I live in Illinois, and overtime is determined by the number of hours worked per week and nothing more. Or else I’m owed money too. Not that I would try to get it. (Although I do work for a giant soulless corporation…)
