The Beginning... kinda

There's too much back story for me too start at the beginning. There's even too much for me to tell you how I started here at this job. Let's just say, I work for morons (like most people I'm sure). My job feels like the movie Idiocracy , the Mike Judge one where Luke Wilson travels to the future and everyone is a energy-drink-drinkinging retard that thinks Luke is the dumb one. That's me. Designer X, trying to explain things to my bosses like, "it's not a good idea to steal competitors' work, show it as your own and then attend a convention where your booth with sit amongst said competitors". I get the dazed looks of a chimp eyeing a plastic banana... unsure whether to peel it or hump it.

I'll give a quick who's who of this Bizzaro World, using aliases of course, because I have wronged some ancient gods and must continue to work here... for now.

"Carl": The big cheese. He is a stumpy, goat-teed man that would sell his mother faulty dentures made of the cheapest plastics a little Chinese kid can make. A cheap, snake-oil salesmen from the turn of the century.

"Carl Jr.": I'd considered the name baby Huey, but thought it might confuse things and otherwise disgrace the cartoon character. Carl Jr. is the son of Carl, who has a separate, yet related business to his father's. One which his father fully funds and created... entirely. I'm not sure Carl Jr. could make himself toast if left to his own devices.

"Stoner": He's my direct boss. He's what would happen if Pauly Shore and Pauly D (from the Jersey Shore) spawned an unmotivated man-child. Not a bad guy all-in-all, but says things like. "that project is still in Lingo" or "Snow Leopards don't exist". These statements and the inability to get into the office any less than an hour after me, are probably due to the enormous amounts of weed he smokes.

That's all I'll share for the day. I'll try to update this blog daily (about lunch time) as there are never ending moments here that I must both escape from and report to the universe. Hopefully, it'll help you laugh at my life and forget about your own Bad Career Decisions.
