This guy has issues:

Dr. Gail Saltz calls a troubled man a ‘sociopathic sex addict’

Dr. Gail’s Bottom Line: A sociopathic sex addict behaves in ways that violate social norms.

Dr. Tadd’s Bottom Line: Dude got issues.

And it is Guitar Hero III.

While I was home for Christmas (it was awesome thank you) I played my sister’s Guitar Hero. Holy. Crap. I’m a guitarist, so I really didn’t expect much from it - but dag. DAG. It’s probably THE most addicting game I’ve played in ages. I may just get it. Unless - someone else wants to get it for me in the next few days - hehe.

God is good. I know I don’t say that often, but He really is. I realize that people read my blog don’t necessarily believe in God .. but I do. And I think He is a good God. Just. Merciful. He may not do what I want … but really, do I want a genie or a Heavenly Father? With a genie you get 3 wishes, and for better or worse you get them. God, He answers prayer according to how it will affect you, those around you and His will for you. Which is always better than anything I can understand. People get so bent out of shape about God, how God never does anything they want and blah blah blah. Honestly, I think life is harder for them because they don’t do anything GOD wants. Which is always the better thing for you to do.

Seriously.

Well, I’ll be going home for Christmas (or the Holiday’s for those who don’t celebrate). Home to Ashtabula. Kind of funny to me that I received the following email from a friend with a nice picture of the Ashtabula Mall sign.

Ah - if only they had spell checker on their sign it would have all been fixed.

Well, I knew it wouldn’t last forever - but the original flare of the job is gone. I still like working here, but it’s not as enjoyable as it once was. Getting harder, more stressful and frustrating - oh yes, that’s definitely building. Over 1500 designs are in my queue right now, representing 18 jobs and everyone is getting itchy as to why their job isn’t done or at the very top priority. Very frustrating. And me, being one of the lowest on the totem pole, can only apologize to the complainers and say I’ll try harder.

I just need to break, relax and not let it bug me. But it does. Frustrates me … angers me. People need to stop sending me 5+ jobs at a time and expect them done today.

But … it is a good job. There are some great people here. This is one down - which can drag a whole job down. Luckily I have people who will throw on some boxing gloves and pound a few heads in for me.

I’ve been with Adtegrity for over a month now - and finally got some quiet time on Friday. Everyone else (other than one guy) had the day off … but we both came in to do some work. I also decided to grab my wife’s camera and snap some photos of the office to show off it’s hotness.

So there you have it. Photographic proof that my job is awesome. I’m going to try and snatch some Christmas Party photos from one of the office women who took a bunch of pictures. She was drunk as a skunk, so who knows if they actually turned out … but we’ll see.
