chaobellMy new job? Is awesome.
Apparently, Aunt Boss usually buys us lunch. Which is damn near going to make up for the pay cut right there, because at the other place I was having to either spend $5-$8 a day on decent food or haul sandwiches or TV dinners or soup or some crap with me.
Also, we can smoke in the shop.
Also, the dress code is something like "you must wear clothes."
Also, I spend the vast majority of my day playing with the coolest friggin' machine I have ever played with. That being, the laser engraver. Seriously, this thing is sweet. You do your layout and stuff in Corel (which I have to get reacquainted with; I keep trying to hit ctrl+shift+G to ungroup shit when I need to be hitting ctrl-U and doing other boneheaded Illustrator-user things). Then you put your piece of metal or plastic or wood or whatever in this machine, hit "print" in Corel, hit a green button on the machine, the little laser thingy zips around and makes sparkles and sometimes a bit of smoke, and a minute or two later you have a nifty plaque or name tag or whatever. Apparently, it will also CUT some kinds of plastic and metal stuff, which I haven't seen yet but am dying to try.
In conclusion: new job = win.
[Edit: Oh. Also also: there are kitties outside. They're kind of wild and won't let you pet them, but I counted two calicos, one gray tabby, one black, and one blue. They don't haul ass at the first sight of a biped and will lay right in your path unless you make kissy noises and/or attempt to pet them, at which time they will flee.]
