You don’t call you don’t write

June 27, 2008 by smack

You know, every day I get smackfactor fan mail asking why I don’t post anymore. Not really. I don’t get any, and that’s fine. I come home from work, sometimes at 1AM, sometimes 11PM, but never at 6PM to stay. And I look at the computer and think about writing… and then I think about the 5-600 words I have to write the next day, not including clever captions (it’s hard to be even remotely clever on a daily basis), and even more clever captions in a flickr set. Then I think “oh, I’ll edit those Ohio photos!” and then I think about the sometimes hundreds of photos I need to sift through, edit out, and then edit and caption in a less than 24 hour turn around time period.

And then I don’t complain. I just don’t post. I don’t edit photos for pleasure. But I have my dream job.

I don’t really have much to say anyway without sounding like some pretentious buttass blathering about this terrace and that rooftop and this mag party and that site relaunch. I could post about that funny thing that Factor said or did if I actually got to spend quality time with him that doesn’t include me

reminding him to pick up garbage
asking him to move shit around
asking for compliments
arguing about nothing much
being drunk and stupid

Yeah. This is the good life.

I would complain if I haven’t been absent as well. You are missed though!

Very jealous or your dream job and very happy for you!

It’s so very rare to meet people who really love their jobs. Good for you. BTW, the psychic cat at Venice Beach is still waiting for you!

I know what you mean! About sometimes just not having the energy to write. It’s amazing that you have your dream job, not many people can say that! I’m lucky to be in a job that I really love and am passionate about too (: It makes like so much more enjoyable! Don’t get too tired! I’d love to see more posts!
