lots o' stuff
the past few days have been interesting..
i had a business meeting in texarkana on the ninth, a long one! the drive itself was ok, thanks to sandra, who did most of that. plus it was better than driving alone.
sandra is the northern regional supervisor of our cancer stick stores.
the meeting took all day! i got there in the texarkana branch office at 8:30 am, the meeting began at 9. while stopped around 12:30pm for lunch, back in the meeting at 1:08 and didn't stop until 5:30! o.0
from there sandra needed to talk with bill, the southern area supervisor on some issued brought up in the meeting and check out a couple of his stores for shelving.
big stores, the biggest ones i've seen so far.
then we were on the road home. we arrived in judsonia around 10:30pm and i crashed at sandra's. if i had tried to go on home, i wouldn't have gotten there until 12:30am.
plus i had to work the next day! 9.9

luckily, i got reimbused for my mileage to bald knob, where i met sandra and for my meals.
and all the time on the road was also time on the clock. $cha-ching!$

i learned alot about the stores, hopefully it will help me design better ads for the stores. and i believe we're going to negoiate contracts with our advertisers to bring the costs of the ads down. plus my work load on the ads might increase by 3 more stores soon. i just finished a report on all the ad info i possessed to aid with that.

this weekend i spent with ken. 8^)
which was good.
i met jo and scott and the rest of the folks at dee's little lets make stuff for the feast hall night at her place and then back to ken's where doug and c were visiting.
they were watching "tomb raider" when i got back. we were all so tired after the movie that we crashed there.
but i didn't sleep too good. yet another urinary tract infection has snuck up on me.

*sigh* i tried to get in to the urologist on monday but he's out of the office until next monday. >8^(
so, i ran to urgentcare to get some meds until then. i've been battling these things for well over a year now and i'm getting sick and tired of it (no pun intended.)
it seemed like i was going every month to the doctor with one of these 'til i found the urolgist and now i have one again. UG! why isn't the medicine enough?
i'll ask the urologist if there is something he can do...
i'm feeling better, but i didn't get my comic done done to not being able to sit still for very long.
so i'm uploading the pages i did for the keenspace spotlight book they handed out at comic-con international.
that gives me time to finish that project for cindy (see below,) and get a couple of comics done.

jeremy is here to install our new cable modem. we are that providers only business package client and therefore it will have the speed of a t1. oh yeah! >8^)
linda and i are going to be it's geinea pigs. 8^) alas, this mean the old servers, spock, bones and kirk (what? the old i.t. guys were star trek fans? what gave you that idea?) will soon be outdated and making room for king edward, prince albert and sir releigh.
*you got prince albert in a can? whay don't ya let 'im out?* yes i know, silly but cute.

i got a commision from cindy, my old boss at my internship. i need to work on it tonight. a cute illustration for a logo. and best of all, i'm getting paid for it! yes!
freelance work! woo hoo!

i must draw tonight! and dangnabit, after missing an update, i will have something on my page tomorrow!
