New Favorite Quote

You have to appreciate Get Fuzzy to understand, but I think the last frame has my new quote for the week, possibly the month, depending on the level of stupidity at work.

Day off?

Well, I finally have a day off. I think I went 8 straight there. I'm starting to see/feel that I'm not quite into working retail anymore. Not that I really was in the first place, but now I'm not really feeling like putting the effort into it anymore. I've been told I can sell ice to an eskimo, but I'm getting tired of doing it. Generally, people are stupid, and they are all coming out to find me in the Garden Centre. Starting to wear me thin, especially the hutterites that want discounts on plants. I hate people who haggle for price. It wouldn't be that much money if I could charge less. Believe me, I want the plants gone as much as people want to buy them, but I'm not gonna give them away!

Anyways, I'm going to bath the horn today, and do some running around town. Figured I'd get started on my next student loan for the coming semesters. 8 months and I'll have another degree. After taking so long for the first one, it seems very odd to be so close to finishing another one. I'm not sure I'm quite ready to figure out the next stage for me.

The Evolution of Dance

This guy is great! I don't want to give it away, but I really got a kick out of the "Night At The Roxbury" part. Watch this video, you'll catch it in there. The Evolution of Dance reminded me of a few too many songs and dances from the past, that's for sure. Too many nights out during the undergrad years...

In other news, the Garden Centre at Canadian Tire is going well. If I don't get blown away by the wind lately. Working in the rain is one thing, but the wind is entirely more difficult. More often then not, I end up with a mouthful of cattle manure when I'm loading a customer's car in the wind. Let me tell you, it is not enjoyable. Good for plants, not for people. But I still enjoy working out there with my plants, and I basically get to just talk to people all day, and drive a forklift around, so what's so bad about that?

Oh, right... the manure...

MB Case

I was able to secure one of the coveted Marcus Bonna cases coming in from Brazil this month, from a vendor in New York. I must have called 8 or 9 places before finally stumbling upon the right guy, but the job got done. I'll have my new case by the end on the month, if all goes well. I'm pretty excited, as he assured me it'll fit in most overhead compartments, and the case is fully customizable to whatever size trombone needs to fit in. Basically, Marcus Bonna is the best instrument case manufacturer out there right now, or at least the most sought after. Because he runs such a small factory, it is very difficult to get one of these cases, and it seems that they are only shipped out in the summer, due to the production time for the cases. Yep, I'm pretty excited!

Anyways, here is what the case looks like. It's pretty sleek looking, and it should do a far better job protecting my trombone than the last case, and it'll be easier to get around with too!
