stormdogSo it wasn't an eight hour day. More like ten hours. But it's ok, 'cause working with my brother all day was actually fun, sometimes, and I have 60 and a half hours worth of work to get paid for. Jim and I started getting a little slap-happy toward the end. Well, maybe a lot slap-happy. One can only stare at liquid pewter and little miniatures for so long without one's brain turning to mush, and I'd already had 50 hours at it. We were getting decidedly odd as eight o' clock began to loom large ahead. A snippet of our work conversaton:
I sat pulling figure after figure off of one of the sprues that they come out of the mold attached to. Pulling a good one off: "You rock!" Twisting a bad one off the sprue: "You suck!" Grasping a second bad one in my hand: "Jim, this one sucks too." Jim, looking at the figure in question: "Fo shizzle ma nizzle!"
At one point I pulled a zombie with a hole in it's base off it's sprue and tossed it high into the air. As it plummeted toward earth, I exclaimed "Aaaah! Parachuting zombies!!" Jim didn't seem to find it quite so amusing as I did, but that's understanable. My brain was not in top form at the time.
Honestly, I can't remember most of what we were rambling about, but it was fun in that 'this is so mind-numbingly boring that I'm going insane and I'm not afraid to show it' kind of way. If you know what I mean. Heh. Maybe it's just me...
Well, won't have any casting to worry about for a while anyway. We have to shut down the foundry for a while it seems, though I understand they will continue to have work for me for some time. How long is some time? *shrug* Guess we'll see. It'll probably be a few months at least, at which point they'll have found a spot to make minis again, and I will probably be in another state. Actually at any other time, I wouldn't have minded having an excuse to try to find a job closer to home, perhaps at a computer shop *crossing fingers*, but as things stand, I think staying with my current employment as long as possible is the best idea.
I'm going to hang around for a bit to see if my dear one gets online (She has a definate place to move to! I was so happy to hear that as I talked to her on the way home!), and then go to bed where I will hopefully make up for the rest of this week.
Oh! And the person I mentioned yesterday with the really nice Draco Malfoy costume was none other than![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lookofevil! How about that? I had no idea I was even looking at a female, much less someone I've actually met, albeit briefly. Go look at her pictures of herself in costume in her journal. They're really nifty!
Final note: Yay for hippy music!
