Full refinish courtesy of The 12th Fret in nitro vintage Gibson cherry lacquer. It's scheduled for a 15 July completion date. I'll post pics, of course... So pretty much the only original part of the bass is the wood? Seriously, that sounds pretty dope. Do post pics! I admit, I've been surfing Lull's site of late.

My job is the job of two people (for real) and that's not even counting the extraneous bull{censored} my manager decides to throw on my plate at the inevitable last minute... [q/uote] I hear that. Somehow I'm supposed to keep dozens of taxpayers happy while being interrupted every two minutes to answer another coworker's task o' the minute. You learn to roll with the unexpected, but it takes huge whack out of your energy and mental clarity by the end of the day... Especially trying to resolve complex citizenship cases around really complex and not-so-clear laws... I'm just mentally drained after a 10 hour day. I don't even have an urge to play bass when I get home... I veg on the intarwebz and with TV. Originally Posted by Bonoman I need a new job. Again.

I love what I'm doing, and I'm paid considerably better than I was in academia...but this job is aging me something fierce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what I'm doing, and I'm paid considerably better than I was in academia...but this job is aging me something fierce. I barely play anymore either. Or write. No time, no energy. And now, to top it all off, the Inside Workers in Toronto went on strike this week which means no Social Workers, which means no social work, which means if this strike goes on for more than a month we're going to be suffering from layoffs and possibly closing down altogether if it goes on much longer than that. And on top of that, the Garbage Collectors went on strike too, so in about two more days the whole city is going to stink since the weather is above 90 on average now that it's summer. I'm officially not supposed to take a position on the strike, but since I'm fairly anonymous here I'll tell you, this strike sucks, is totally {censored}ing stupid, and for once in my life I'm not on the side of the strikers since I think they're asking for way too much (18 vacation days a year that roll-over if they're not taken and turn into a serious cash payout upon retirement - we're in a recession here people! What part of 'bankrupt city budget' don't you understand?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zamfir Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 Another draining day at work. Most of my time around my usual duties got swallowed by two friggin' e-mails to one person who's taking her frustration out on the one person in the e-mail chain who is bending over backwards to help her under the law, namely me. And the law on citizenship/naturalization is somewhat complicated to analyze, then regurgitate so that the American customer understands it. Oy. My head hurts...

Members Super_Donut_Man Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 Friday will be great for me. I get off at 1:00 so I am going to get a 40 and a burrito and enjoy life on my front lawn (which is dead... damn water restrictions).
