my life is weird

So, I can't get a job. . . suddenly out of nowhere I get a call from someone at my old job... the engineer I absolutely abhored who has managed to annoy me and engrage me more than anyone I've ever worked around had a possible contract gig for me.

Can't get a job with a respectable company but I sure as shit can get one fixing the computer for the Flying Karamazov Brothers.

It's a long complicated story, but I fixed their computer problems in about 15 minutes. (spent 90 minutes getting there. . . the brridge sucked) They think I'm a super star. (apparently 3 other people had tried)

I had forgotten that I'm really good at this stuff.

Also got free tickets to theirr show Sunday. Woo hoo!

so was that the end of the contract?

whose show is it?

The Flying Karamazov Brothers' show - www.fkb.com.

They might hav esome more work for me next week, but that would just be a machine duplication thing, just a few hours work.

The asshole is an engineer who works for Brightmail.

The contract job was for the production company in Berkeley.

Make sense yet?

oh ok. the asshole simply called you about a job for a third party. I thought he was referring to his own company needing the contract person.

Nope, never seen them, but I liked what I saw while they were warming up. . . I'll let you know after Sunday. (if I find a babysitter)

perhaps you should start looking into a disrespectable company?
